Rueben's Ramblings

On September 23, the reboot of the classic series MacGyver will debut at 8 PM on CBS.

A new adaptation of the classic series, this version focuses on 20-something Angus “Mac” MacGyver (Lucas Till from The X-Men franchise) who creates a clandestine organization within the U.S. government where he uses his extraordinary talent for unconventional problem solving and vast scientific knowledge to save lives. Joining his team on high-risk missions around the globe is maverick former CIA agent Jack Dalton (George Eads from CSI) and Patricia Thornton (Sandrine Holt from The Returned), ex-field agent turned director of operations and Riley Davis (Tristin Mays from The Vampire Diaries), an unpredictable computer hacker with a chip on her shoulder. At home, MacGyver is entertained by his ambitious roommate, Wilt Bozer (Justin Hires from Rush Hour). Under the aegis of the Department of External Services, MacGyver takes on the responsibility of saving the world, armed to the teeth with resourcefulness and little more than bubble gum and a paper clip.

Here is a trailer for MacGyver:
