LOL!

 

I kept thinking, on one hand, I appreciate the non-cookie cutter casting, at least in terms of the guy's look... but he looks so damn weird, awkward and out of place.

 

I wonder if he'll cut it soon after (IF the show manages to survive).

It's nice to see George Eads again. I flove him. I don't care for the actor playing MacGyver. He looks like a surfer dude. So is RDA going to make an appearance as his Dad?

I don't understand the point of remaking old crime/action dramas if they're all going to have the exact same look and feel. This has the same tone as Hawaii Five-0, yet the original Five-O and original MacGyver weren't very similar at all.

I remember Lindsey Wagner calling TPTB out on this when they remade Bionic Woman.

They're re-imagining the re-imagining :lol: That pilot must have been every bit as bad as it looked.

 

Sounds like they've completely thrown out everything. It's so funny that they've even changed the whole character of one of the leads. Surprising that that weird MacGyver pick hasn't been done away with. And don't get me started on the roommate sidekick. :rolleyes: This seems like it's gonna be a trainwreck.

    • I had a situation last week where I could watch the new episode on Paramount Plus on my laptop, but it wasn't even listed on my TV as an option.

    • Vicky's best was Ryan. Heck they even got together in heaven. Jake's best was Paulina. Carter & Thomasina.  Sally & Catlin. Marley and ?

    • I'm trying to think whether AW had anything remotely resembling that once Steve was killed off and Alice left a widow. So many young love stories were wrapped up either by marrying and leaving town or marrying and killing off one party. Maybe they acted in the final year as if Vicky and Jake had been that couple all along, but they both had better other mates along the way and also Jake was actively hostile to Vicky at too many points without any subtext of caring about her.

      ️, so all the more time to watch/rewatch these past three scorching episodes. What were some of your favorite moments? @beyondthegatescbs            
    • Beth Ehlers thanked Beth Chamberlain by name from the mic saying she was THE BEST person to be in a triangle with.  Generally speaking I loved Judi's Beth but then also strongly liked BethC's Beth but I did not like the whole Lorelei stage!!! 
    • Yep, it seemed temporary, lasted 3-5 minutes, then BACK! Yea.  Thanks. 
    • Oh but those "Pharleys" were very adamant that they stay together and be featured everyday (though I did like their websites and the recaps they gave each day.) I agree, they were interesting at first, but the longer it went on the more Harley became this sad sack jealous wife, the more Phillip became a dumb Josh type character torn between two women and the more Beth became a pathetic looser chasing her ex.   I think after Beth came back it would have been an interesting triangle of three "good" people trying to find a way, and I did like the "Who killed Carl" and how Harley and Beth had to work together there, but we all know Phillip would have dumped Harley to get together with Beth, Harley would have been hurt but dusted herself off and moved on, and eventually Beth and Phillip would implode. They didn't bring back one Reardon or Bauer for Mo's funeral...did anyone think they would waste money and energy on poor sad Nadine?
