It is similar to the original but other than MacGyver, the rest of the characters seem to be way over the top. His buddy who tries to save him and thinks with his fists instead of his head (reminds me of "Danny" in the new Hawaii Five O). And having the little person as the boss does not seem feasible although I have seen this actress in other roles on other TV shows. I liked her better in the other shows (Boston Legal) than in MacGyver. I will give this show a chance because I like the main character. I hope the supporting actors do not bring the show down.
