When I was a kid, one of my favorite television shows was McGuyver. Richard Dean Anderson beat the bad guys every
week using nothing, but some duct tape and cleaning supplies. He was like the professor from Gilligan's Island only much much cooler.
The show was on for years and spawned much fan fiction, but the show finally ended with McGuyver realizing he had a son. Yeah, not my favorite ending memory. Through the years, McGuyver has become a cult hit with spinoffs and parodies and a movie has been in the works forever. Odds are the movie would simply be a reboot and not involve Anderson who has semiretired from acting after the various Stargate series.
I would love to find out what ultimately happened to Mac. Did he end up with Pete's job and still working for the Phoenix Organization. Did he end up at the government or is he still living on the boat? If I had my way, and I never do, Mac would still be out there fighting the good fight and beating the bad guys with common household products.
There has never been another character like McGuyver and I don't think anyone, but Richard Dean Anderson could ever play him. The mullet would have to go, but Anderson has had interest in returning as his classic character. When the movie is finally made, I hope Anderson is involved in some capacity even if its only on the periphery.
