I was talking to some friends recently about general house things and they asked me if Andrew was handy, i said that he was like MacGyver give him a pocket knife and some duct tape and he would build us a house, they looked at me blankly and smiled slightly and i realised that they didn't know who MacGyver was.
Have i moved into another dimension, or just another age bracket????
I started trying to explain what i was talking about but realised it was a lost cause so i made some remark about Andrew being very handy and that he could pretty much make/build/grow anything he set his mind to, they smiled and i made a quick exit.
So this post is about MacGyver who is apparently getting lost with others forgotten shows like the Kenny Evert Show and Fraggle rock
So come on people, remember MacGyver, the happy go lucky secret agent who could save the world with his resourcefulness (with said pocket knife and duct tape) and his quick thinking and while your at it save a thought for poor Kenny and the Fraggles

We downloaded the entire series at the end of last year and would watch episode after episode... Gotta love MacGyver! Used to love Fraggle Rock too! And my other fav was Nightrider. Go Kit Go!
People remember MacGyver--but only people our age (and older).
If you want to feel really old, try teaching, at university, people who weren't born until you were already in high school.
Then you start hearing, "Is this, like, an age thing?" and "I was only four when that movie came out" and "The Wonder Years? What's that?"
Nothing quite like a bunch of seventeen year olds to make you feel that thirty one is genuinely ancient.
