If you had to think of title for the Pilot episode. What would you come up with?

I think the poison that was used was applied to this knife, passed to the mutton when it was cut and then activated by the wine. - MacGyver.

My first thought was plain and simple "MacGyver" but I'm thinking...

That maybe I need to think somemore

A Deadly Game of Chess...since sydney and the doctor are playing chess when the explosion occurs.

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)

I think that the title of the episode should be Saved by Chocolate

We could name the gambit 'Escape with a Flair (flare)'

There is a desert called "Death by Chocolate", so "Saved By Chocolate" is entirely possible!

That which has been established will endure even with time and at a distance.

I can't tell you anything about what happens after the cameras go off, mostly because I'm usually unconscious by then.

How about Unlikely Hero? Yeah, I know it's kind of basic, but it kind of reveals who Mac is and how he at first glance doesn't appear to be the kind of man that can solve every problem, since he's so laid-back and does things that other TV heroes in the past might not have done (his aversion to guns and heights, his adoption of a "Little Brother" and a caring attitude).

"If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer."

Or we could go the "Friends" route-

"The One with all the Explosions"

Okay, how about "Rocket Man"? (both the name of a great Elton John song and a great 1998 Disney comedy movie!

)

Or maybe something like "Explosive Science" or "Mac of All Trades"

Seriously though, the first episodes of TV shows are always called "Pilot" (unless they're given a subtitle of some sort or alternate name)-but in this case, "Pilot" is kinda appropriate for MacGyver since he's rescuing a downed pilot

That would've been good enough for the opening gambit.

In Magnum however it was called Don't eat the snow in Hawaii.

I like Explosive Science, though.

After I read this, my first thought as the answer was Ghostbusters

(from The Ghostbusters theme), but yes it can also be "Who ya gonna call?" - MacGyver

That could work- Egon Spengler is pretty smart...

And the great Ray Parker, Jr. theme song!
Could definitely work for MacGyver!

I think we should call it 'The Knapsack'

We didn't really get to see that ol' gamebag again except once or twice more, did we? I thought it was a nice gimmic:
"The bag's not for what I take, Colsen... it's for what I find along the way."

How 'bout... "A Friendly Game of Chess" ...?

Dr. Steubens and Dr. Marlowe were playing chess - the chess game was used as an excuse to lure Dr. Marlowe into the lab so Dr. Steubens could blow them and their research up, right?
