As much as I love the wilderness, lately I've found myself being drawn towards episodes which take place in the city rather than out in the wilderness, which got me thinking if others of you have a preference.

So cast your vote above and then tell us what you think

Definately in the wilderness. Probably because I have this little fantasy of sharing a sleeping bag with him. Seriously though, he seems more "at home" out in nature than in the urban areas.

I'm more drawin' to the wilderness just like MacGyver is the sense of getting away from everything and anything and getting in touch with that side.

The wilderness--in an urban setting, he is out of his natural habitat.

This one is more difficult. I think urban episodes. I like places with a lot of activity. So my thing would be the city. Blow Out for instance. After all MacGyver goes out and work in the city.

I didn't have to think twice for this one. Definately in the wilderness, without any doubt at all! it's what he his: wild!

I too like to see Mac at work in the city environment. Take "Runners" for example. Now don't get me wrong, I do enjoy seeing MacGyver take on the elements here and there!

Wilderness

I've always enjoyed stories like Robinson Crusoe and Island of the Blue Dolphin. I always wished they'd done a Mac=marooned-on-a-deserted-island ep. He would have out-Castawayed Tom Hanks.

Mac always occurs to me as an outdoor guy. Some of my favourite episodes are Mac in the wilderness, such as Ghost Ship, Invisible Killer, GX-1, etc. I enjoy watching him making small gadgets out of materials in the surroundings.

It really depends on the episode. I was tempted to vote "Wilderness", but then I remembered some very silly wilderness episodes ("Ghost Ship," for example, and that one one where he teams up with an Indian and goes into a dream trance), while at the same time, I remembered some great urban episodes (Dr. Zito came to mind right away.)
So, I'm going to take the easy way out and give a non-committal answer of "It depends."

Well maybe you could answer it by changing the question slightly to which type would you choose to watch, the best urban episodes, or the best Wilderness episodes?

Hmmm... still a tough call.
I guess I might lean slightly towards a really good wilderness episode over a really good urban episode, if only because the scenery is better.

But to tell you the truth, one of the things I like about the show is the fact that there is a lot of variety in terms of settings. I'm glad they didn't just do wilderness shows, or just urban-setting shows. I think that's a great thing about the whole premise of the show-- they can pretty much put him anywhere, doing anything. I mean, if you look over the course of the seven seasons, they covered a LOT of territory in terms of the kinds of situations he got involved in (completely unrealistic, of course, for one person to be involved in SO many things, but it made for entertaining tv.)

I find myself watching an episode depending on what mood I'm in or if I know that I'll be in a similar enviroment. If I'm going camping, fishing, someplace with snow...etc. Sometimes depending on what I've been wearing or if someone in my life reminds me of someone from an episode. I love them all so that's the only way to decide for me:)

I would say the Wilderness episodes where I'm leaning towards.
I can also seeing him makeing up shaveing cream for himself with water, snow, or anything he can find to make shaveing cream or close to it.

I voted for wilderness, because I love when Mac is in the woods. Like in Ghost Ship etc.

Definitely wilderness...

I remember loving them as a kid and I still do.
Even though I'm what you can call a cityslicker, I've always loved the outdoors.

I am also the backpacking kinda girl. So wilderness it is for me!

I think Mac - actually RDA - was really at home in the wilderness AKA: "the Woods". He didn't have to pretend. He wasn't squeamish about getting dirty, rolling down a cliff or falling in a lake. It was natural because RDA is an outdoor person for real. I'm sure Mac enjoyed indoor comforts as much as anyone, but when he was in an urban environment, it seemed like he would be fidgeting to get out of the city and back to the woods. Whenever Mac was troubled or bothered by something, he would retreat to the woods to resolve the problem. (so it seemed) Even the houseboat was Mac's little bit of wilderness within the city. Just my thoughts.......

Definitely wilderness. Episodes like Ghost Ship and Invisible Killer are my favorites. More treehugger-Mac and less social worker MacGyver.
