  1. Good to see him after so long a time. I watched him on General Hospital and MacGyver. I wish he would lose some weight before he has a heart attack. Would like to see him on something soon.

  2. Stargate SG1 was the best SI-FI show of all time i still watch it on the Comet (over the air station,) he is just great, the humor, really added to the show, anyways i’ll be watching tonight

  3. A great actor. Mama use to watch him on General Hospital and I have been watching Macgyver since it first aired and I now watch the re runs. I didn’t realize I am only 4 years old than him. I will continue to watch Re runs until they go off the TV. Get healthy Macgyver and live a long life.

  4. Smart man. Didnt marry someone who only want his money. He certainly had beautiful ladies that any straight man will envy.

  5. Richard Dean Anderson—-I LOVED MacGyver and have the whole series to watch whenever I want to, plus it’s been on my tv, too (antenna tv!). I’m not happy that they started a new MacGyver show with a different actor–he’s not nearly like you, nor are his shows and I don’t watch it. You were awesome and MacGyver should have ended when he drove off on his motorcycle from Phoenix Foundation, with his son!!

  6. I just started watching MacGyver on my phone on Samsung plus.I love it.
    What happened to him? Why or how did he gain so much weight and just dropped out of TV forever?
