MacGyver: Season 07 (1991)

Synopsis of MacGyver: Season 07

The seventh and final season of MacGyver finds the eponymous hero (played by Richard Dean Anderson) continuing to favor intellect over violence in his ongoing battle for justice on behalf of the Phoenix Organization. Longtime fans of the series will notice that Dana Elcar, the actor who plays MacGyver's boss Peter Thornton is performing most of his scenes with dark glasses and a white cane. That is because Elcar was suffering from glaucoma in real life, a fact that is deftly (and tastefully) written into the series. Also worth noting is Mac's new headquarters; after several years of living in a houseboat, our hero has now taken up residence in a rooftop apartment. Of the individual episodes, two are standouts. "The Coltons" was written as the pilot for a proposed spin-off series starring Cleavon Little, Richard Lawson, and future Oscar winner Cuba Gooding Jr.. And in the 2-part "Good Knight MacGyver", a genial rip-off of "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court", MacGyver's first name is finally revealed (you'll have to watch the episode to find out!). This final episode of MacGyver has quite a few surprises in store for both the protagonist and the audience. Dalton James guest stars as Sam Malloy, who announces the fact that he is MacGyver's son. Although he'd never previously been aware that he'd had any children of any kind, MacGyver warmly accepts Sam for whom he claims to be, and together father and son share a bonding moment that could only have happened on this series. ~ Rovi
