OH GOD! That's what I thought when I read this: MacGyver movie: good idea or bad idea? *head/desk!* And especially this part:
"New Line is reportedly looking to make the film more on the family-friendly and fun side, so don't expect to see the new MacGyver turn terrorist threats into a bloody mess with a few coat hangers and a case of rubber bands."
For Pete's sake! First Hollywood ruins Charlie's Angels (that movie with Cameron Diaz was gag-worthy!), then Starsky & Hutch and now MacGyver too?! Why? Why?!

Meh. But the whole big thing about Macgyver is that he can disarm a nuclear bomb with a bit of tinfoil and stick of chewing gum! He's da man!

Exactly. I don't get why TPTB feels the need to dumb down every cool show from the 70/80/90' for the audience these days - Charlie's Angels, Starsky & Hutch...

What? Wait, if they take all that stuff out, then MacGyver wouldn't be MacGyver.

Yeah, well, it's the 21st century and the audience obviously needs a dumbed down version of old shows to enjoy it *rolls eyes*

I thought the whole point of MacGyver was that he was able to have a clean conscience and avoid guns while still managing to outsmart the bad guys? I guess the worry could be that family fun might mean goofy, but I don't see how keeping him away from lots of violence would mean ruining it :|

Not that I want to rain on your opinion or anything!

The thing is, MacGyver was never a family show. It was an action series and it was fun as it was. I would be more excited about it if Hollywood didn't totally ridicule Charlie's Angels and Starsky and Hutch in the new movies. But as it is, all I can think is how they will screw this one.

Huh, I wonder who they're going to cast as McGyver.

I just can't see anybody but RDA as MacGyver. He WAS MacGyver, an ICON.
