Fall TV: Rev Up for New Shows6 of 10
5. "MacGyver" (CBS)
The network that rebooted "Hawaii Five-0" for a whole new generation of fans is doing the same with 1980s classic "MacGyver." Viewers, however, expecting to see something very similar to the series that starred Richard Dean Anderson as a scrappy and sciency-savvy adult Swiss Army Knife shouldn't hold their breath. This latest reincarnation serves up a 20-something Angus "Mac" MacGyver, played by X-Men veteran Lucas Till, who heads up a secret organization in the U.S. government that uses his uncanny knowledge and resourceful skills to solve problems of global importance. At work, MacGyver is joined by Jack Dalton, portrayed by former "CSI" star George Eads. And at home he tangles with his roommate Wilt Bozer, played by Justin Hires, who starred in last season's "Rush Hour."
