A highly intelligent, extremely creative guy named Angus MacGyver (known to his friends as MacGyver or "Mac") prefers using his brain (and not his brawn) to solve problems. Armed only with a Swiss Army knife, his knowledge of applied practical science, and whatever materials he had at hand, he saved the world (or at least his corner of it.)
MacGyver Fandom
Most of the fanfic was in zines, although like most late '80's/early '90's shows, the fandom transitioned through Usenet to the Internet. The pervasive appeal of the show turned it into a cultural icon even years after it went off the air, with references in other, later shows like Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, Mythbusters, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
