On November 26, 2018, it was announced that George Eads was set to depart the series midway through the show's third season. According to creator Peter M. Lenkov, Eads had asked to be released from his contract for some time so he could spend more time with his young daughter who resides in Los Angeles; the series is filmed in Atlanta. Producers ultimately agreed with Eads being written out of the show but left the opportunity for him to return as a guest star in the future. His final episode aired on February 1, 2019.[35][36] Eads' character was killed offscreen in the fifth season episode "Jack + Kinematics + Safe Cracker + MgKNO3 + GTO", ruling out any further opportunities for Eads to reprise the role.
One morning, young MacGyver watered the chickens and went to school. At the end of the school day, when the bus pulled up in front of the house, his father was waiting for him. He says that this was the only day that he can ever remember his father waiting for him to get off the bus. Ever. Ever. And his father did not look pleased.
It seems that young Mac hooked up his contraption to water the chickens and forgot to go back and turn the hose off before he went to school. The chicken coop flooded, as in filled to overflowing with water. No lives were lost. All chickens escaped, but wet chicken dung and straw and water make a monstrous, malodorous mess.
CBS has found its young MacGyver in X-Men co-star Lucas Till. The 25-year-old actor will play the title role in the CBS drama pilot MacGyver, a reimagining of the 1985 series about a resourceful and ingenious agent who improvises his way out of sticky situations using everyday items like rubber bands, chewing gum and a Swiss Army knife. Also cast in the project, from CBS TV Studios, is Joshua Boone (Fan Girl).
In his memoir Warm up the Snake, executive producer John Rich revealed that the show used fan-submitted ideas. One young viewer wrote in a nifty trick of sealing a leaking radiator with a raw egg. The production tested it, found it worked, and paid the kid for his idea.
When did MacGyver learn his tricks? Quite early, it seems. This episode flashes back to black & white 1963, when a young MacGyver (yes, his teenage friends also just call him "MacGyver") must transform a bike into a hauling cart.
About 12 years ago, the WB (which is now part of CBS' CW Network) ordered a pilot about a young MacGyver starring Jared Padalecki. The WB passed but Padalecki went on to star on "Supernatural" (2005-2015).
A remake of the Richard Dean Anderson classic, the new Mac is young, hip, and still named Angus. The show is overly testosterone driven, and by all reports the set is a bastion of toxic masculinity. Joy.
Evidently, one of the ones at CBS. The show will follow a young Angus MacGyver as he, you know, gets out of jams and prevents international disasters with bits of lint and a can-do attitude. Henry Winkler will executive-produce, which is notable because A) The Fonz! and B) He was the executive producer of the original series.
