CBS Home Entertainment this week released seven Best of samplers from their library after letting the fans pick which episodes should be included. On Monday and Tuesday we looked at the six sitcoms but since the last one was a one-hour action show, we set that one aside.
Since its debut in 1985, MacGyver has been a fondly recalled series for both its inventiveness and for its appealing lead acting, Richard Dean Anderson. What’s interesting is that a cocreator for this was Henry Winkler who, 20 years earlier, became a smash success on Happy Days, also a part of the set. The show was popular enough to make through the 1991-1992 season and the lead’s ability to take common place elements to get out of tricky situations was popular enough to be parodied elsewhere.
The premise had Anderson play Angus MacGyver a secret agent, employed by the Phoenix Foundation in Los Angeles.

From its Hanover Square office, Acs:Law has led the charge in sending letters demanding payment from alleged illicit filesharers, attracting unwanted attention from online activists, industry regulators and privacy commissioners along the way.
In a matter of months, the Andrew Crossley-fronted firm may have singlehandedly changed the game for prosecuting infringers in the UK, experts say.
The controversial method of so-called "speculative invoicing", in which law firms acting on behalf of copyright owners demand payment from thousands of people accused of illegal filesharing, has found itself in the dock as the industry and...
