    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Due to the Canadian laws against product placements, all products in this show are referred to by generic names, but at the same time, little effort is made to hide logos and brand names on the featured products. However, the end credits have a "Thanks to" which lists the companies involved.
    • Crazy credits
      In the Canadian version of the show, the opening sequence from Season 1-7 has a part in which letters appear to spell "HOW I MAD" rather than the full title of the show.

      Referenced in Nuori MacGyver: Murdoc + Handcuffs (2018)

    A rare blend of interesting, entertaining, and informative TV viewing
    This show is extremely well done. The range of products showcased is broad and interesting, and the amount of detail presented for each segment strikes the right balance between thoroughness and conciseness -- particularly given the short attention span of today's TV audience. The finished product is slick and technically excellent, which is particularly remarkable given just how few people put this show together (take a moment to watch the end credits sometime -- you'll be surprised!) I was unimpressed by the work of the male narrator they used in some early episodes, but apart from that I've found little to fault and have been a devoted watcher pretty much since day one. Unreservedly suitable and entertaining for all ages, and superb for family viewing.
