MacGyver in popular culture
''MacGyver'' is an American television series that ran from the late 1980s to the early 1990s.
== MacGyverisms ==
MacGyver employs his resourcefulness and his knowledge of chemistry, physics,〔Britton, Wesley, ''Spy Television'', Praeger/Greenwood, ISBN 0-275-98163-0, p. 212.〕 technology, and outdoorsmanship to resolve what are often life-or-death crises. He creates inventions from simple items to solve these problems. These inventions became synonymous with the character and were called MacGyverisms by fans.〔Rich, John, 2006, ''Warm Up the Snake: A Hollywood Memoir'', ISBN 0-472-11578-2, p. 167.〕 MacGyver was unlike secret agents in other television series and films because, instead of relying on high-tech weapons and tools, he carried only a Swiss Army knife and duct tape.〔 This also led to the verb 'to MacGyver' or 'to MacGyver-ize' (the latter being introduced by Gregory Shockley in his training manuscripts published for the Boy Scouts of America). 'MacGyverism' was first used by Joanne Remmings (played by Pamela Bowen) in the third episode of Season 2. When MacGyver introduces himself to her, she uses the term in a manner that suggests other people had used it before:〔Season 2, Episode 3 - "Twice Strung". Her phrasing suggests it's a popular term to those who know of MacGyver's track record, although MacGyver himself was unaware of the term.〕
"Oh I've heard about you! You're the guy who does the whatchamacallits, you know, ''MacGyverisms''; turns one thing into another?"
