Did any of you actually know MacGyver's first name? I had to look it up while trying to think of clues! With a last name like MacGyver, you really should just legally drop your first name, right?
I used to watch this show all. the. time. I still know the theme song! Even back then, I loved that DIY spirit. No escape route? Rig one up from clothesline and a bike handle, duh. No backup on the way? This lightbulb will be my backup, TYVM. A super-smart secret agent - what could be cooler to a kid with very little sense of agency?
As Angie pointed out, Mac's style is pretty darn 80s: blouses, tight jeans, and his ubiquitous leather jacket (which hits right at his waistband - no lower). I don't usually like 80s style, but this is still rugged, so it felt okay. All I need now is a mullet and a pair of aviator sunglasses.

Many ladies may have considered him prime Angus beef, but it's no secret he's a hero because of his big ol' scientific brain. He can explode a building with duct tape and a Swiss Army knife, but don't ask him to carry a gun, because he's a pacifist like that. I also wouldn't tell Patty and Selma Bouvier I'm dressed like him today, or I may only escape that exploded building as a phoenix rising from the ashes...
