[MacGyver]

Well, the Cathy Lee Crosby production was actually just a TV-movie that didn't really go anywhere. Hmm- I wouldn't have thought most people would even remember that one. I'd still like to see it someday, but I can't imagine anyone other than Ms. Carter in the Wonder Woman role now after having seen the series.

Isn't it interesting that the West Wing seems to be the hub of our MacGyver compass.

[MacGirl]

It sure is! Two great shows, with (seemingly) a million connections. I love it!!

Here's one I just discovered:

The HBO movie Live From Baghdad (the true story of the CNN team that covered the '91 Gulf War from inside Baghdad itself... and was the ONLY news team still in the city when the war started) starred Bruce McGill! Bruce, of course, was the ever-lovable Jack Dalton on MacGyver.

[MacGyverOnline]

Battlestar starred Edward James Olmos who made several guest appearances on... you guessed it... The West Wing
TWW guest starred Renee Estevez, who also guest starred in the Bushmaster eppy of MacGyver.

[MacNymph]

I'm surprised Quantum Leap hasn't been done as the first and last episode of it starred Bruce McGill.

But I watched a made for Sunday Night Disney movie last night called I-Man that starred Scott Bakula (Quantum Leap) that also had John Anderson, Don S. Davis, Dale Wilson, George Josef, Campbell Lane, Garwin Sanford, Ellen Bry, Ted Stidder, Rob Morton, Doug Tuck, & Raimund Stamm. All of whom appeared on MacGyver.

It was quite the Whoa! find.

[MacGyverOnline]

Wow. Half the cast of the movie is from MacGyver.

Nice find.

[SMeeceymouse]

Michael Des Barres played the obsitrician who delivered Charlene's baby on the last episode of Roseanne and also played Murdoc on MacGyver. Sorry that is as close as I can get.

[SMeeceymouse]

Oh here is one that probably won't count for much. The young lady who played Lisa Woodman also played the title character of Blossom in the tv show Blossom that also stared Bill Bixby. Thought about that last night.

[MacGirl]

All right, here's a few more that run through The West Wing. What else is new?

Here's another one using the movie Live From Baghdad:

LFB stars Paul Guilfoyle, who's a regular on CSI. (Or used to be, at least... CSI's cast has changed a lot recently.)

Paul Guilfoyle guest starred on one eppy of CSI:Miami, which stars Emily Procter. Emily guest starred several times on TWW, which also guest starred Renee Estevez. Renee guest starred in the Bushmaster eppy of MacGyver.

Happy days co-stared Henry Winkler as Fonzie.
Henry Winkler not only guest starred in the Harry's Will episode but was also co-executive producer of MacGyver

[Keyan]

Here it goes. I hope no one else has caught this.
