Young MacGyver

In case any of you missed it, there was supposed to be a show on the WB called Young MacGyver following the adventures of Angus MacGyver's nephew. A pilot was shot with Jared Padelecki, Rory's badboy boyfriend on Gilmore Girls (I love that show). Evidently, it sucked so the WB decided not to air it. Check out the details at IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0352117/.

The guy who directed the pilot episode, Stephen Herek, also directed the Mighty Ducks, and well...Mr. Holland's Opus, so clearly he's inconsistent.

The original producers were on board, Fonzie included, so it could have been good. We'll never know.

One of the hazards of writing a blog is that you get email from freaks. Here's an email sent to me by a guy who calls himself Murdoc Rules! I'm shocked he didn't spell it with a z.

I'm going to call him the MacGyver Stalker, or nutball, whatever is easier to type.

Nutball's email:

Hey Mac Guy, you suck. Murdoc rules.

You never give any info about the whereabouts of MacGyver which is fine because I know exactly where he is. The Tim Horton's in Squamish, British Columbia. He's eating a 20 pack of Timbits. They're like Munchins except Canadian.

Sincerely,

Murdoc Rules!


Hmm, British Columbia, I guess Mac wanted to go somewhere where his hairstyle would always stay current.
