Like MacGyver but with midgets.
29 August 1999 | by jarrod-2See all my reviews

Like MacGyver but with midgets. David Rappaport (Time Bandits) is really cool climbing on buildings and saving people ala MacGyver. The show was only on for two seasons but it was still one of my favourites when it was on.
