MacGyver Monday takes us back to another adventure featuring science-adventurer Angus MacGyver (Richard Dean Anderson). Things are a bit rough on MacGyver in “The Golden Triangle” as our hero gets knocked out both in the opening gambit, involving attempting to prevent top secret plans from being sold in a junk yard, and later in the main storyline where afterward he’s strung up to die slowly in the jungle sun. In the main story, MacGyver is sent to Burma to recover a poison cannister from a crashed cargo plan whose contents have found themselves  into the control of a local general who makes his money having his minions force villagers to harvest his poppy fields.

MacGyver Monday takes us back to the very first adventure featuring science-adventurer Angus MacGyver (Richard Dean Anderson). Much of the pieces to MacGyver are already in place in the show’s “Pilot” episode which starts with an unrelated opening gambit of MacGyver saving a crashed pilot and retrieving the circuit board. We don’t have to wait long to get our first MacGyverism as MacGyver builds a contraption to divide the guards’ attention and uses a flare gun as as a rocket thruster to help secure their escape. The episode includes an appearance by Dana Elcar but as a different character than the one who would be incorporated as a recurring character later in the First Season.
