I've always been fond of the "old" MacGyver, so I'm enjoying the nostalgia factor of these earlier episodes.JackGywer wrote: One of the adventure-charged episodes of the first season. I loved these types of episodes a lot.
Later, the episodes changed and sometimes I missed the "old" MacGyver very much.
KateThe MacGyver Drinking Game, written by Carrie Chin
Note: this drinking game is intended to be FUN. In keeping with Our Hero's abstention from the consumption of alcoholic beverages, I recommend chocolate candies (e.g. M&Ms) or similar foodstuffs as a substitute, especially if you'd like to be coherent afterward. Enjoy!

Thanks, Kate, for referencing the MacGyver Drinking Game and for printing it out. LOVE IT! (not the drinking part so much but I can go for the chocolates.....) Anyway, for some reason I had not seen that Daily Show video so I loved watching it and seeing RDA's reaction to mention of The Drinking Game. Whoever made up that Game was right on target......very cool.KateR wrote: ↑Sun Apr 15, 2018 6:31 pm
BTW, we had a fun conversation at chat last night. We were talking about the MacGyver Drinking Game. Do others remember that far back? It was originally written by Carrie Chin back when about the only MacGyver group online was the MacList. Then in 1996, one of the talk shows RDA did found the game online and showed it to RDA. That interview is in the Video Gallery here - The Daily Show from November 7, 1996. It was fun for all of us to see his reaction to something that had come from our fan group.

Thanks, JK, so much for the screenshots that go so well with your comments. And a definite, "AMEN" to your caption of this photo.......THE BEST photo of the episode for sure.
Yes, we'd all be very drunk or very fat if we tried to play it properly. But it's fun to have a list of things to look for while rewatching episodes. That list was just a suggestion from the original, but we could have fun making up our own list of things to look for, whether we indulge in beverages or chocolate or not. For example, a few of the basics:eurmos wrote: I think we are all in a LOT of trouble playing this game. This is a very long list!
Some of those earlier ones don't show up much after the first season, so get your chocolate in now! (Talk about the evolution of the character.MacGyver wears a suit/tuxedo

I like " The Golden Triangel" very much, it is one of my favourites.
There are already so many great comments about that episode, I can't really add something new to that and so I just agree with you.
And-as Kate likes them so much- I found a little flaw again:
When MacGyver is staked out in the sun he wears a brown belt. In the scene, when he already has cut himself lose and the Swiss Army Knife lies in the sand to distract the second guard, he still wears it while laying on the rack. The guard bends down to get the knife and MacGyver knocks him out. Exactly in that moment the brown belt disappears and MacGyver goes over to the first guard whom he has knocked out earlier and fastened to a tree with his belt.![]()
