I guess that will be the new logo then, according to the official Twitter and Instagram-Account:

This logo is terrific!

They also created an official Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/#!/MacGyverCBS/?fref=ts

I like how they cover all social media, but I guess that's pretty standard procedure nowadays (I've never followed TV-show-accounts before, only movie accounts on social media).

How come it's in the Friday Night "Death Time Slot" .... when even everbody's great grandmamma is out on the town? Good(k)night MacGyver.

I like it, too! It's pretty simple and yet still pretty clever and easily recognizable. Everyone associates the SAK with MacGyver; even 30 years after the original series.

The social media is really important nowadays to promote tv or movies. I follow a few shows on facebook and it's a cool way to know everything about it and to interact with the fans.

A few things

1. Friday night is no longer a death slot as well with the invention of recordable television you can record your shows go to the bar (or pub if your British) have a few drinks with your friends and then come home at 1Am make a bowl of popcorn and watch the new episode of Macgyver from earlier that night) and Nielsen ratings will still show I have watched the show lol

2. The third picture is my favorite so far I am getting a Jason Bourne/Quantum of Solace vibe which I quite like

3. Secret Agent Macgyver.... So so so SO happy about this.

Heh, I actually really like this shot.

I remember writing one of my very first fanfics about MacGyver's character, which was that most folks go into battle with an arsenal, but MacGyver goes into it with his hands in his pockets.

This is very reminiscent of how nonchalant MacGyver was in the original pilot as he crawls through a duct while whistling to himself.

Very nice.

Okay, I'll admit it... I'm actually getting a bit excited.

I agree Jedi, the third shot is the best! I too feel better about the whole thing after seeing CBS are "tweeking" this whole deal. The new synopsis makes me feel better - which I wasn't expecting.

I really hope a promo (however short), will be release today ?

Just to tease us !

Friday night is still Friday night. It's all about the ratings and how many people watch and buy into the adverts. Diehards will tape and watch, sure, it but the audience volume on that night is low to begin with and they'll be missing a big prospective/potential audience from the getgo. For example I used to watch The Amazing Race religiously ... but then their ratings plummeted and it eventually got moved to the death slot on Friday night .... and then I just forgot about it and have not watched an episode since.

You make a very good point, Joe SAKic

But it seems CBS have a very strong line-up with MacGyver leading the charge.

Also, they will take into account how well it does in other territories also. MacGyver is huge, and should travel well.

They showed a trailer at the CBS upfronts:

"MacGyver" looks silly but George Eads is well-cast in his sidekick/consiglieri role. #upfronts2016

Dash, did you see it? Were you impressed?

No, I couldn't find a source yet - I was "monitoring" via Twitter using several hashtags on multiple browser windows.

so far only one screenshot via Twitter:

The MacGyver trailer uses the same tagline as My Girl: “Mac is back!”

Saw that? That doesn't even make sense...

Eh, the tagline to My Girl was

"When your Dad's an undertaker, your Mom's in heaven, and your Grandma's got a screw loose...it's good to have a friend who understands you. Even if he is a boy."

Not even My Girl 2

"There's being a kid. There's being an adult. And then there's that year in between."

I thought the tagline was weird, but who knows. Maybe he just made it up. I guess we have to wait if the trailer leaks somewhere - I'm not sure if we're going to see it officially if they need to recast and reshoot first... They might want to add some additional material and cast members for an official TV trailer probably?

I thought only the national ratings were the deciding factor as to make or break? That's what will happen here, if it can make it on a Friday night with a predominately oldish+kiddie audience - iis that really their target market? Then it should be able to stick around for a year or three. Big if though ....

I found a YT-trailer-link on Twitter 2 minutes ago, but it was already deleted before I got to see it... Guess nothing official yet *sigh*

Or maybe I just can't see it due to my location? If you want to try it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pS39X658Vw

Yeah, that's how I feel *lol*

Trailer looks AMAZING!

Without ruining it...It even has a nod to the original opening gambit (from the pilot). You'll know when u see it.

Loved every second of it - Powerful!

My only criticism is that it features too much of Lincoln (George Eads).

But it has everything I wished for, and Lucas plays the part very well !

Well done !

And here a working YT-video in fine quality (full length):
