Interesting also that the more lighthearted and semi-ridiculous stuff (Leland's wife calling him and then Pete breaking his other leg) wasn't in the script -- must have been a production decision to lighten it up. All the MacGyver/Pete apartment banter is in the script.<br /><br />And thanks for the story about your friend's kids -- hopefully with the reboot there will be more people who discover the original and get hooked.Nicholas Sweedohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00437092592253460266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5788875373841955612.post-22156623088295572742016-07-27T09:53:57.631-05:002016-07-27T09:53:57.631-05:00I kind of like the idea of Jack taking out a membe...I kind of like the idea of Jack taking out a member of the ski rescue team and posing as one of them to try to find MacGyver before Pete does. I also like the idea of Jack going rogue on Leland when he finds out that Leland had been skimming and the peons weren't getting any of the money despite taking all the risks. Was all the banter at MacGyver's apartment with Pete about ginger ale, blankets, and bugs in the script? I'm thinking some of the discarded plot elements may been rubbed out to make more time for the Pete and MacGyver banter when Pete broke his leg. I wonder many drafts of this script were published before it went to production. Interesting to me that even in the third draft, there was still so much material that didn't make the cut.<br /><br />Not sure if I mentioned it but at my class reunion two weekends ago a second old classmate had "news I'd like to hear" when he told me that his 14-year-old son and 8-year-old daughter were addicted to "MacGyver" reruns on Netflix and had been watching a couple episodes a night for months. Surprising to me how well the show holds up despite being 25-30 years old. Most young people are typically pretty sensitive to popular culture that seems dated.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04953380288384883179noreply@blogger.com
