What do you even say about this show? It's the best thing ever put on television. Sure things have come close, but Macgyver will always be the best show of all time. Why? Easy. Peter freakin' Thorton. the BEST best friend a guy could ask for. Also the adventure and seeing how Mac will get out of the next locked room. Awesome show.
