I love MacGyver but I remain to be convinced that either a new TV series or a movie would work, especially without Richard Dean Anderson.

On balance, if we have to have a re-boot, I'd prefer a one off movie. The character is interesting enough for a movie to potentially work as long as they keep the important elements of the character and also ensure that the MacGyverisms are both inspired but believable.
