Correct me if I'm wrong, but has anyone else noticed that the only holiday really ever mentioned in any episodes is Halloween? I know there's a few (Halloween Knights, Secret of Parker House [I believe that one starts out with trick-or-treaters...], etc) that mention Halloween, however, I don't know of any that mention Christmas, Valentines Day, St. Patricks day, Easter, etc. I understand that they likely didn't do that because of religious reasons or something like that, but I was just curious. I was just thinking of it today while I was wrapping Christmas presents.

Are there any holiday-related Mac episodes?

There was The Madonna.

The Secret of Parker House was a Holloween Episode and Ghost ship was too because when I was little they showed that Episode on Holloween.
I do belive "The Outsiders" was a thanksgivieng Episode because when MacGyver wakes up he says "did I die and gone to Thanksgiveing?"
and" Lost love one and two" I think both touched on the new years.

The Madonna? Haha I guess tv.com doesn't have that episode. Darn...

And yes, you're right; I forgot about the Thanksgiving mention. I don't actually remember the Lost Love episodes, but you're probably right about that, too.

Thanks!

The Thanksgiving mention in "The Outsiders" is because he doesn't realize the family is Amish, and he thinks they're dressed like the Pilgrims. I can't think of any overt mention of what time of year it is, but if nothing else, the foliage indicates that it isn't anywhere near November.

Then again, there are episodes set in Southern California that have snow, too.

While I do like "The Madonna," I always thought Mac's distaste for Christmas at the beginning was a bit out of character.

True, true. But it's something...

Does anyone know where I can watch The Madonna, or at least what season it's in? I've been watching most of them on TV.com, since my library only has some of the seasons, but maybe I can still get it from there. I haven't seen that episode.

I noticed the snow thing, too! I thought it was kind of funny, actually. I wonder if they realized that or not. I don't remember which episode it was, but one of them showed the Phoenix Foundation sign and building covered in snow.

We have a full list of season and episodes on our site.

And I think you'll find what your looking for here

I never really watched the The Madonna all the way through, I'm going to have to watch it.

The Madonna is one of my favourite episodes...I don't think his distaste for christmas was out of character though....his mother died I think after Christmas and I think I might be wrong on this but his father and grandmother died a couple of weeks before Christmas so he had no family to celebrate Christmas with...and those dates always brings back sad memories for him ....

Also wasn't the episode Phoenix under Siege set in December...I can't remember if they mention that it was nearly Christmas or not

Of course. Good that I remembered this episode and now for the first time ever, I even watched this episode on christmas eve from Macgyver dvd. By the way, this episode was never show anywhere near christmas time. At least here in Finland.

And great episode, we hear more info on Macs mother and the episode catches the christmas spirit and feeling. Best part was Mac remembering his mother and wetting his eyes..I also did weep a bit on this one.

"The Madonna" was aired in December here in the states, not sure why it was never aired near Christmas in Finland.

It's not a particularly great episode, though. Not much action at all, and the only MacGyverism he does is using dumbells as wheels (which anyone with half a brain could have figured out.) The supernatural twist at the end was a bit of a groaner, too. But if you're in the mood for a character episode (rather than an action episode), I guess it's okay.

The only other holiday episodes they did were the two Halloween episodes.
