Here's a pretty direct connection I didn't realize existed until I watched the movie again the other day.
Sidney Poitier starred in "To Sir, With Love" alongside a young Michael Des Barres!!! And of course, Michael Des Barres later guest starred as Murdoc alongside Richard Dean Anderson in the titular role on MacGyver!

Okay- here's one for Amy! (Any me and any other G.I. Joe fan on here)
Edmund Gilbert was the voice of General Hawk on G.I. Joe (Also Baloo on TaleSpin and many other cartoons...including Tattoed Teenage Alien Fighters from Beverly Hills- and I promise you that's a real show! )
Ed Gilbert also portrayed Fenton Hardy on The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries. Elyssa Davalos guest starred as Wendy Bonner in "The Mystery of the King Tut's Tomb" episode.
Elyssa Davalos starred as Nikki Carpenter on MacGyver!
I'm starting to lose track of which ones I'v already done...
Lost stars Terry O'Quinn Terry O'Quinn co-starred in 7 episodes of The West Wing The West Wing regularly co-starred Renee Estivaz. Renee Estivaz co-stared in the "bush master" episode of MacGyver
It seems that The West Wing is a major link to many episodes, both old and new...
heres another example...
Reno 911 co-stared Thomas Lennon Thomas Lennon guest-starred in 2 episodes of Friends Friends co-starred Mathew Perry. Mathew Perry guest-starred in a couple of episodes of The West Wing The West Wing regularly co-starred Renee Estivaz. Renee Estivaz co-stared in the "bush master" episode of MacGyver
And yet another one...
Psych stars Dulé Hill Dulé Hill co-starred in The West Wing The West Wing regularly co-starred Renee Estivaz. Renee Estivaz co-stared in the "bush master" episode of MacGyver
You've probably guessed by now that I'm a huge fan of The West Wing.
Many of you will have heard of Coronation street.. the worlds longest running soap drama from England.....
So heres how it links to MacGyver
Coronation Street co-starred John Saint Ryan over several episodes. John Saint Ryan also starred in General Hospital along with RDA RDA starred as MacGyver
We can also use John Saint Ryan to link... SeaQuest DSV, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Babylon 5, Murder She Wrote, MANTIS and Gargoyles.

Have we actually done one yet for Kevin Bacon, the actor for whom this game was named?

Magnum PI starred Tom Selleck Tom has a reoccurring role in Boston legal Boston legal guest starred Adam Arkin. Adam Arkin quest stared in the "invisible killer" episode of MacGyver
Boston Legal looks to be quite a linking machine also..... Due to the large amount of guest actors.
Designing women co-starred Delta Burke Delta guest starred in an episode of Lois and Clark which starred Teri Hatcher as Lois Teri hatcher played Penny Parker in MacGyver
Charmed co-starred Alyssa Milano Alyssa co-starred in Who's the boss? Who's the boss guest-starred Betty White for 2 episodes Betty White guest starred in several episodes of Boston Legal Boston legal guest starred Adam Arkin. Adam Arkin quest stared in the "invisible killer" episode of MacGyver

All right, gang, I did some major brainstorming last night, and I've got a whole bunch for ya.
Emily Procter currently appears on CSI:Miami as Calleigh Duquesne. She also appeared in The West Wing. The West Wing starred Renee Estevez over several eppys. Renee Estevez appeared in the Bushmaster eppy of MacGyver. (Like Rocky, I'm an incurable 'Wing Nut'!)
The movie Ray had Richard Schiff in a small role. Richard Schiff played Toby on TWW.
Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip stars Bradley Whitford, who played Josh on TWW.
The movies Kiss of Death and Session 9 both starred David Caruso, who plays Horatio Caine on CSI:Miami, which leads back to the Emily Procter/TWW connection.
ER starred Khandi Alexander, who plays Dr. Alexx Woods on CSI:Miami, which again leads back to the Emily Procter/TWW connection.
NYPD Blue connects two ways: through David Caruso (see above) and through Jimmy Smits, who appeared in several eppys of TWW.
The movie City of Angels stars Nicholas Cage, who also appeared in Kiss of Death alongside David Caruso. By logical extension, that also connects every movie with Nicholas Cage back to MacGyver.
CSI:New York spun off of CSI:Miami (it started as the season 2 finale of Miami), so there's another connection for you.
The Sopranos starred Gary Sinise, Vanessa Ferlito, and Carmine Giovinazzo, all of whom appear on CSI:NY, again leading back to the CSI:Miami/TWW connection.
The movie Ransom, starring Mel Gibson, costars Gary Sinise, so that also leads back to the CSI:NY/CSI:Miami/TWW connection. By logical extension then, we can also connect every movie with Mel Gibson to MacGyver! (These are starting to get a little far afield, but this one is still only five steps.)
24 guest starred Vanessa Ferlito over several eppys. Vanessa Ferlito appeared in BOTH CSI:NY and The Sopranos.
The movies Stand By Me and Flatliners both featured Kiefer Sutherland, who also appears in 24, which also starred Vanessa Ferlito, which again leads back to the CSI:NY/CSI:Miami/TWW thread.
CSI connects two ways: through Paul Guilfoyle, who plays Detective Brass, and also appeared in the movie Session 9 with David Caruso. CSI also connects through Marg Helgenberger.
Family Ties also connects to MacGyver through Justine Bateman, who appeared alongside RDA in "In the Arms of a Stranger."
Oh, and of course, now we can also connect every movie with Martin Sheen in it to MacGyver, again through TWW.
Whew! How's that??

and heres an interesting full circle with Shane...
Shane Meier played a young MacGyver in the "Harry's Will" episode of MacGyver Shane also appeared in an episode of SG-1 alongside RDA RDA was MacGyver
So you could say both MacGyvers have been in both shows
The Incredible Hulk co-starred Jack Colvin Jack Colvin guest starred in the "Silent world" Episode of MacGyver
Jack Colvin also guest starred in Tarzan (1966 TV episode), Cagney & Lacey, Scarecrow and Mrs. King, 6 million dollar man, Bionic women, The Rockford Files, Kojak, The Invisible Man
