Follows the pacifist twentysomething hero Clay MacGyver (the nephew of original MacGyver (1985)) as he leaves school and winds up joining the Phoenix Foundation -- a shadowy government organization set up to protect America to which his uncle belonged -- on a lark. Once there, he discovers that he's incredibly adept at stepping into uncle Angus MacGyver's shoes. His first mission takes him to Africa where he must help stop an anti-American African terrorist group financed with blood diamonds. Angus has a 'cameo' when his picture appears on the agency's wall in one scene. Written by Jano Rohleder
For true fans of the original MacGyver series, it was made clear and reiterated in several episodes that Mac was an only child. If I remember clearly, his mother was an only child also. At best he could have a distant cousin or great nephew on his dad's side as this side of his family was never introduced. His maternal grandfather is in several episodes. Mac believes that Harry was his last living relative until he finds out that he has a son just as the series ended.
I think a good follow up at this date is to see Mac back as possibly Pete's replacement with his son & grandson working together at Phoenix. I think this could be made into a workable series if they can get Richard Dean Anderson back, the actor that played his son, Sean "Sam" Malloy, Dalton James, a and a good writer.
