MacGyver/YMMV


 * Anvilicious: "The Golden Triangle", "To Be A Man"
 * Dry Docking: Nikki Carpenter was introduced as a possible love interest for Mac. However, the producers soon discovered that female fans did not want Mac to be permanently attached and Nikki was quietly Put On a Bus.
 * Ensemble Darkhorse: Murdoc. No one ever wanted him to actually defeat MacGyver, but fans loved to see MacGyver's Indy Ploys go up against Murdoc's Crazy Prepared.
 * Hilarious in Hindsight: Any scene containing his future Stargate co-stars, especially the one where he throws Christopher Judge on the ground. Doubly funny when his character guesses a gadget is a "Martian toothbrush."
 * This wouldn't be the first time Dr. Zito (W. Morgan Sheppard) would be involved in mock Viking funerals.
 * Ho Yay: Mac and Jack had their moments.
 * Memetic Mutation: "MACGYVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!"
 * Narm: Mac's reaction to 's death.
 * Tear Jerker: death moments after MacGyver rejected her.
 * Subverted: fell to her death during a mountain climbing expedition, and Mac's thrashing at the end of the rope as he tries to save  was rather callously added to the opening credits.
