MacGyver - The Complete Fifth Season

I love having MacGyver on DVD, but there were two episodes that didn't play on my DVD player. Rather than return the entire set, I purchased Season 5 separately. The other issue I have is how easily the DVDs come off the spools. Since I have Season 5 in a separate box, and find it easier to handle. I recommend purchasing the set one season at a time, not only because the DVDs stay in place better, but also because it's easier to return one season at a time, than to return an entire set. Season 5 had two episodes that wouldn't play. Rather than return the entire set, I just ordered Season 5 by itself. I wish I had ordered the entire set a season at a time.

good price

Educational, fun, and great comedic dialog

Macgyver was always good in finding tricks to get himself out of bad situations

I have been ordering the MacGyver DVD's "piecemeal" rather than in the complete set, partly because I'd acquired the "First Season" from another source, but could not find the subsequent sets in retail outlets, and partly because I had not got into the "rhythm" of watching the DVD's until recently. However, once started, I've felt compelled to finish, so I am now in the midst of the fifth season and have received the final two sets. I will review them as I view them.The fifth season is intriguing in many ways. It deals, as all the MacGyver stories do, with issues of various sorts -- especially social and ecological problems -- that were current at the time of the original filming. I am amazed in retrospect at how extremely timely they actually remain. However, there are some delightful and intriguing plot twists, and I would rate the "Christmas Episode" of the fifth season, "The Madonna", as one of the all-time best stories I've ever viewed.

I grew up watching this show. Although i had no TV my grandparents had no issue sharing.This show is a great for today as much as then. Good entertainment for kids as well as adults which is hard to find. Minimal violance and looking for a non leathal way out are Macgyvers goals in all the predicaments he finds himself in. I greatly enjoy how he demonstraits that there is always a solution to the problem if your willing to take a moment and figure it out.Although some of the solutions are a little convienient, it is still a great way for kids to learn good qualities.Highly recomended clean entertainment.

I've always enjoyed watching MacGyver, the TV series, from Season 1 up to Season 5. I find each episode either adventurous, heart-warming, dealing with human nature or issues with our country or other countries that really do make us think. It's just a very good program all the way around. I find it useful as a teaching tool for it shows MacGyver as a person who did go to college and took his skills and utilized them whenever he was in a jam to get himself out or when he was with others. He always tried to help others, it just was his nature in this program.

a time when the good guys were good; folks knew right from wrong; television had just enough fantasy to make it interesting. I bought the whole series for my nieces & nephews to watch when they are over to my house. I remember this series really got me interested in chemestry, physics and logical thinking. Even though the scenarious seemed far fetched it was fun trying to prove it wrong (or right). Sometimes entertainment - can just be entertainment and not have to prove something. So pop a bowl of popcorn and fire up the DVD with some old fashioned TV programming and enjoy the family times.

Another set of adventure stories from our favourite polymath and handyman. Surprisingly though, I did not feel these were as good as series four. There were several new writers of varying quality. There were also more stories involving social issues rather than straightforward action. Although I'm not against these, I feel there were too many. Although I enjoyed all the episodes, just one, The Madonna, which was made for Christmas transmission, was so sickly sentimental and cliché ridden I don't ever want to see it again. However, looking a the fan reviews, most of them seemed to enjoy it, so I'm in a minority. Well worth adding to your McGyver collection.

So once you start watching you can't stop. Oh to have a guy around who a) can fix anything with nothing and b) looks like he does.

Most Enjoyable.

Unfortunately didn't realise region 1 meant couldn't play on my dvd, didn't see notifications. Can watch on laptop though not the same.

I really like the macgyver box sets,a bit of nostalgia works for me
