Ok I reckon this is Bozer's ?

Or else it's a very big Easter egg... That I ain't getting,

And MacGyver hates golf so why would Mac have a giant polar bear caddie?

looks like Tracy Spiridakos and Vinnie Jones on set?

I guess it's Bozer's; he's MacGyver's roommate after all... must have interesting jobs to afford this house ;-)

via https://www.facebook.com/MacGyverCBS/ - the knife is definitely gone from the logo.

Looks good, though!

I suspect they might phase the knife out.

as long as they don't replace it with a paperclip ;-)

So MacGyver will in fact be part cyborg?

Reckon this is just an little joke - to Lucas's havok days.

I doubt MacGyver's going cyborg! I never thought I'd ever write that sentence

Here is the first Look of Mac's kitchen.

Well i figure he just might if he's going to be jumping on planes taking off.

I see a dolphin there, but who knows

Could be... if it is a dolphin, is that a reference to the ep "THE BLACK CORSAGE", Sophia's code name?

They already started on Episode 2!

Looks like the names for Episode 2 and 3 are tools... SAK tools? Clever idea!

Lenkov does quirky things like that, on H.50 all the episodes are written in Hawaiian and then translated into English.

By the way, can anyone read the list of characters? The picture is quite blurry but I can identify: Angus MacGyver, Jack Dalton, Riley Davis, Patricia Thornton, Wilt Bozer, żNik...?

That definitely looks like NIKKI

Even spelt the same way as Nikki Carpenter in the original.

That would make sense as Nikki in the original series did work at the Phoenix Foundation.

That would be cool to have Nikki back. She was certainly one of the few characters that had a lot of potential and just wasn't given the chance to shine. It was too bad people didn't like her very much... I blame the writers. I think they meant to make her strong-willed, but she just kinda came off as argumentative and immature. Poor Nikki...

Maybe this time around she'll be the character she was meant to be.

Officially no RDA then. I can't say that I am surprised about his decision.

But that's just the call sheet for the Pilot Episode; he could still join later... maybe he wants to see some material first before making any decision?

Wylie is just arriving, so this is a teaser:

Huge overhaul of personnel at the new MacGyver: producers, writers, actors, etc. The promo people for CBS/MacGyver called my agent to see if I would be interetsted in helping to promote their show.

I'll email you tomorrow-ish... my girl is here!

And update:
July 25, 2016

So many people have responded to the attempted "reboot" of the MacGyver franchise, and a lot of people have asked me if I'm going to be in the new show, or am I going to produce it, or, yada.

And all I can say is, I'm not considering being a part of a project that has overlooked the insanely LOYAL FANS of the original character and has proceeded without considering how and why they all became and STAYED loyal fans...

Yes, I was asked, but no, I won't be involved in the MacGyver reboot. I have tried to recognize that there really is a balance to be found here. Hence, my loyalty to my fans.

Anderson, Rick

Huh?
I don't understand his statement here at all. In the past, I could understand his points about MacGyver perhaps being better suited for the 80s, but his comment here about this show proceeding "without considering why they all became and stayed loyal fans" doesn't make sense to me. Unless he has seen footage of the finished show, what is he basing this on? Why does HE think people became fans of the original show, and what, specifically, does he think this reboot is lacking in that regard?

Also, regarding his comment about his "loyalty to his fans": I think many of his fans would have liked to see him in this.

Yes, that is what I was referring to.

THANK YOU!! I'm glad I'm not the only one that caught on to that... I don't really understand either.

Very disappointed in RDA, but I did see this coming. It doesn't make a lot of sense?

Insanely loyal fans? - aren't those the people who drool over RDA's ever movement?

As a MacGyver fan, I respect his decision, but I think it's the wrong one. Especially if he can't differentiate between his loyal fans and stalkers.

I feel let down, especially after he acknowledged the huge overall of personnel within the new MacGyver, who are looking to honour and respect the original series.

No he hasn't seen anything of this reboot, he is just nursing a damaged ego, all because he wasn't asked at the conceptual stage.

Still, this project will go forth and prosper without him.

CBS won't ask twice !

Here is another set pic - could this be a nod to "Tough boys", look familiar.
