Talked to Judy Burns who wrote my all-time favorite scene: The Gauntlet opening gambit, and also wrote Last Stand. Had some interesting comments about the early days of the show.

What a great interview! Unlike hearing that everything in a shows development is peachy, its nice to hear the yin and the yang.

The Gauntlet opening gambit is quite possibly my favourite too. I wish Judy wrote more.

Even to this day, when I think about "MacGyver" the opening gambits for "The Gauntlet" and "Thief of Budapest" are what first come to mind.




"Jeep. My Jeep? What are you talking about? Penny! My Jeep?" - MacGyver

"Look at me. I'm a hurtin' guy! I'm beat up. I need a month's worth of sleep . . . and I need a haircut!" - MacGyver

"It's been said, 'The best gift a man could ever give another, was his life', Jack Dalton was never one to settle for less than the best. Thank you Jack." - MacGyver

I think the Map gauntlet is probably one of the most iconic things in MacGyver. Everything from the clothes the macGyverisms to the location and what he's doing is SO iconic of MacGyver.

Nice read. Too bad she had such a bad time on the show. Last Stand is indeed one of the best earlier episodes. How Mac stumbles into a hostage situation, a failed escape attempt, the freezer and the plane finale.



I think the poison that was used was applied to this knife, passed to the mutton when it was cut and then activated by the wine. - MacGyver.
Sometimes you just have to die a little inside to be reborn and rise again as a stronger and wiser version of you.
It's better to be a little sad than to be fake content.

Really interesting hearing how she had the idea of where 'MacGyver' should go and how to get it there, but others couldn't see it.
