Watching Who Wants to be a Millionaire, and the question (as best I can remember) was "which character is known fro putting together things from every day objects?"

a. Hawkeye
b. Dr. Huxtable
c. Agent Mulder
d. MacGyver

The college kid had to ask the audience!

91% said MacGyver LOL

Though I noticed last year, when I'd tell someone I was going to meet "MacGyver in real life" (most people couldn't place Richard Dean Anderson

), most under 25 had no idea who Mac was! For shame!

A hug from Mac seemed to cure almost anything ~sigh~

That's sad!

Well, I'm 28, and I definitely know who MacGyver is. I started watching the show when I was about 10 or 11, and sadly those were the last years of the show. I never saw the earlier episodes, so seeing them on DVD is a real treat!

Yeah- that's kinda sad the kid had to ask the audience. Oh well- it's cool MacGyver was mentioned on the show though. But there are some people under 25 who know who MacGyver is... it's just the fact that the show is 22 years old now- (scary to think about since that reflects on our ages!- but true)

But this is definitely the kind of show I want to introduce to any children I might have one day- assuming I ever get married...

I am 24 and could tell you who macgyver was since I first fell in love with it around 10. My girfriend just got me the book What Would Macgyver Do? It is very interesting and it is making me realize how well known Macgyver really is for an old 80's show that a lot of the younger generation never had the luxury of watching. It's amazing how many people can relate to the name and what it means to Macgyver something even if they never seen the show once. It's ashame that most of todays tv show don't even come close to Macgyver. There is just something about it that draws me in and takes me to a better time and place. I guess I may be stuck in the 80's but as long as I have the complete Macgyver season and Knight Rider season along with the Back to the Future Trilogy I would be happy if cable tv just went off all together.

Now technically I'm driving a stolen car following a kidnapping... and I didn't even get to have my first cup of coffee. (Mac)
Your burning hot MacGyver... And so is Pete! ! (Murdoc)
Does anyone have a knife?? Yes...it has lots of different blades (Macgyver music plays while mac examines the knief) ...I know
Why are you taking your pants off?? You got a better idea? I'm still trying to figure out what yours is!!

Ahh- a fellow stuckee! Yeah, I'm pretty much stuck in the '80s as far as TV watching and such goes...

I think a lot of stuff from my childhood and previous generations- not so much beyond it...
