Professional do-gooder MacGyver (Richard Dean Anderson) is still fighting crime on behalf of the Phoenix Organization -- and still adroitly fashioning weapons and escape devices out of whatever ordinary household items that happen to be on hand -- as MacGyver begins its third season. Returning from the previous two seasons is MacGyver's boss, Phoenix's director of field operations Peter Thornton Dana Elcar. Also back on an occasional basis is MacGyver's likeable but undependable buddy Jack Dalton (Bruce McGill). Making her first series appearance is MacGyver's off-and-on girlfriend Nikki Carpenter (Elyssa Davalos), who is characteristically kidnapped in the season opener. Finally, season three affords viewers their first glimpse of MacGyver's houseboat headquarters. ~ Rovi
