    I have to say that the editing of the sheriff being killed in a freak accident is very fun. I love it when shows hint at ghosts not through ghostly imagery but through impossible scenarios.
    Macgyver could've just used the lead bones to find out that the skull was Aunt Betty but I guess that wasn't creepy enough.😂

    Even today, lots of detective and procedural shows end with a "killer confesses to their crimes because the protagonist guessed how it happened even though there's no actual evidence to link them to the murder" scene, and every time they do that a little piece of me dies. But at least we still have Teri Hatcher, right?

    9:38 I've always wanted to see a documentary on like Discovery channel or somethign relevant, where they take a CT scan (or similar) of a person, and then 3D print their skull and then have a forensic person sculpt the face and compare to the real life person. (same with sketching)... Just to see how good it is. Or also like, give a baby photo to a forensic expert and ask them to age the person up, and then show them the real person that walks in. lol

    If I was a sheriff who committed murder decades ago (and had thus far gotten away with it) and some interloper sculpted something onto just about the only evidence of my crime, I wouldn't be too upset about it. Calling Mac out on his nonsense art project probably gained him enough credibility to pad out the rest of the episode.

    I did a quick glance of your videos and didn't see any on Stargate SG-1.
    It's also ridiculous and is a good blend of Star Trek technobabble and Macgyver if only because Richard Dean Anderson is in it.

The Sheriff only scolding him makes a lot of sense, like you pointed out yourself if that was brought to court it would definitely screw up the case..... And since he was the killer, even though he acted mad that would play right into his hands....So I understand disbelief that what MacGyver was doing skull,But the fact of the sheriff only just scolded him makes a lot of sense

    Using this video to state: don’t get married on holidays. There is the positive and negative reason. The positive is that you get to chose a special holiday for you and your love and it should be your day and your’s alone. The negative, if the marriage doesn’t work out you’ve ruined a holiday for yourself. The festivities will be a yearly reminder. I don’t care which reason you cite but please, please, please don’t get married on a holiday. It’s best in the long run.

    This is one of the few episodes of McGyver I have clear memories of. I just remember the facial reconstruction, I would not have be able to say that Teri Hatcher played the female costar etc. I've seen maybe a dozen maybe a couple of dozen McGyver episodes, but most of them fade into a dull blur in my mind. Like I also remember the ending, but I would not have been sure if it was a McGyver episode or one of any number of other shows were the murder dies in some improbable accident implying that their victim's ghost has exacted vengeance beyond the grave. I think this episode was also my first introduction to the idea of forensic reconstruction of a face from a skull, it seemed very outlandish the way McGyver did it.

    When you say Teri Hatcher is in a production, the adjectives about her character's beauty are unneccesary.. When she is mentioned, everybody's mind is rolling off the whole dictionary of beauty descriptors non stop like one of those tibetan prayer cylinders.
    You would only need to mention if some insane person were to make her play an ugly and repulsive person, although i would not know how they'd pull that off. Im pretty sure Teri would just look like a gorgeous woman disguised as an ugly one similar to how star trek aliens are alwasy humans with a weird nose or a funny shape on their foreheads.
    It is that i dont do spiteful envy or id be coveting her looks so badly that god would upgrade envy to a mortal sin LOL. And no. never had a girl crush on her. i categorically _deny_ and i am sticking to that O:-)

We thought it would be cool to get married on it.

      I think the premise is that Jack is a straight guy pretending to be gay so that he can co-rent a place where two beautiful woman are living without the landlord (played by Don Knotts?) condemning them and refusing to rent because of the scandal of such a situation?
