Far different from the usual television action series, MacGyver premiered in Fall of 1985 to widespread audience acclaim. Fans fell in loves with an action hero who used his brain instead of his brawn to get himself out of jams, and the interesting and elaborate methods deployed by the title character made for interesting water cooler talk. These unorthodox escape plans were very similar to The A-Team, another popular 80s action series. Overall, the first several seasons of MacGyver are the best?
The MacGyver (Season 2) DVD features a number of action-packed episodes including the season premiere ?The Human Factor? in which MacGyver and the Phoenix Foundation are called upon to test the security of a top-secret military installation. When MacGyver makes a bet with the security designer, Dr. Jill Ludlum, he successfully gains entry, but the automated system traps them both inside (with a dwindling supply of oxygen) where they?re forced to race for their lives against a ticking clock? Other notable episodes from Season 2 include ?The Road Not Taken? in which MacGyver encounters his former fiancé¥ while helping a nun, and ?Birth Day? in which MacGyver must guard a pregnant woman from her husband, who?s out to kill her?
