Ok, give me 5 facts about MacGyver I wouldn't know. I've seen the show but it's been decades.

Um.. let's see.

Even though it was set primarily in LA (and all over the world), half the seasons were filmed in Vancouver.

MacGyver is always super anti gun, which we do get the backstory for. But in the pilot episode, he straight up is just shooting an assault rifle.

The building used for the Phoenix Foundation headquarters is The Qube in Vancouver. I think that is a cool looking building.

His first name is Angus. I think that's a pretty well-known one if you've seen the later seasons.

Dana Elcar started losing his eyesight (pretty sure to glaucoma) and they wrote his blindness into Pete's character.

Idk, those aren't super good ones, I guess I need a refresher.

That's awesome! Thanks friend. And now you have a reason to go watch it again.
