The original MACGYVER (1985-1992) was a ratings success and gained a loyal following around the world. "MacGyver” is now a verb in the official Oxford English Dictionary. Its definition is to “Make or repair (an object) in an improvised or inventive way, making use of whatever items are at hand.”

Luckily for the fans, CBS decided to "MacGyver" the original series from SD to HD! Seasons 1-3 of the original MACGYVER are now remastered in HD and all 7 seasons are scheduled to be completed by the end of 2018.
