Have you watched MacGyver?
Which are your favourite episodes?

MacGyver is portrayed as a non-violent problem solver and typically eschews the use of guns. His violent actions are performed in self-defense, and he takes non-fatal action when possible.

MacGyver is depicted as an ally to social and environmental causes. He aids vulnerable populations throughout the series. During vineyard worker strikes, MacGyver assists Latino protesters against vineyard owners. MacGyver appears to have a strong connection with children, filling the role of "big brother" at the series' inception. MacGyver demonstrates his allegiance to children by assisting a mountain excursion for delinquent youths. MacGyver also conducts hearing research at a school for deaf children. In regard to the environment, MacGyver strives to protect endangered species such as eagles, the black rhino, and wolves. At an unspecificed (sic) date during the series, MacGyver begins practicing vegetarianism.

MacGyver is characterized as persistent and spontaneous. He employs improvisation to evade anticipatory countermeasures, and his plans are difficult to thwart on account of their unpredictability. This constant spontaneity challenges MacGyver as well as his adversaries. Because MacGyver continues to operate in this manner, it is assumed the tactical advantage of spontaneity outweighs its disadvantages. This is observed by MacGyver's nemesis Murdoc.

Not really into it but I love MacGruber, the parody film. Very underrated and overlooked.

Never got into the show, but I love the idea of it.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"
