MacGyver...he could take a paperclip, a stick of gum, and some string, and make an atom bomb from it.

look, i'm sorry. SG-1 is a great show. Decent amount of originality and all but Richard Dean Anderson has got to be the worst pick for O'Neill. From the movie, O'Neill was like a tight-ass military man. The O'Neill in the show has about as much leadership abilities as my @$$. He just sits there making stupid faces like he's bored all the time. A friend of mine was saying that it'd be annoying to have an uptight military guy in every episode but I definitely think they could've cast someone who fit the role better.

 

[Daishiki]

MacGyver hands down

I prefer SG-1 over MacGyber, I think the writing is just much better (for the most part). I think Richard Dean Anderson works well as O'Neill, sure he doesn't have the stick up the ass look as in the movie version of O'Neill. If, though, they kept with that personality I think the show would have totally died.

voted not sure. love both.

PSA: MacGyver season 1 on DVD soon.

Naa, RDA was the perfect pick. O'Neill is a guy who got sent to do a dirty job in the first place, and got dragged out of retirement to effectively babysit a hippie and unfairly smart/hot USAF scientist, only to be outshined by a big black guy not even from this planet. He can't very well quit since they need him, so he's living it up cracking jokes while keeping everyone alive.

SG1>MacGyver

I just finally got around to watching that episode tonight and now I see why it's ranked #1; it's fuggin' hillarious.

Jack: (hitting golfballs through the Stargate) How far is Alaris, anyway?
Teal'c: Several billion miles, O'Neill.
Jack: That's gotta be a record.

Hammond: Colonel O'Neill! What the hell are you doing?!?
Jack: (interrupting his golf shot) In the middle of my backswing?!?

MacGyver pwns

 

[JavaMomma]

I love SG-1 and RDA as Jack O'Neil
Probably my favorite show.


I am almost to young to remember MacGyver...I remember watching one episode and he went back in time or something and hung out with Merlin.

what you don't realize is Stargate SG-1 is a comedy.

 

[mcvickj]

A tough call. I'm going with SG1 > MacGyver.

yeah he's a genius and resourceful guy alright.
I like MacGyver better thtan SG1 but Sg1 is the only show they're showing RIGHT NOW, i think

 

[Wag]

MacGyver. Not only is he a super-spy, but he's a social worker too!

 

[CrackRabbit]

I have to vote MacGyver, SG-1 is good but MacG will always hold a specail place in my heart.

 

[TwiceOver]

A close race, but I'd have to go MacGyver all the way.

 

[MithShrike]

I voted SG1. My mother let me have that haircut when I was younger... I got made fun of so badly.

RDA is the reason Stargate SG-1 is where it is today. Without him the show wouldn't be nearly as popular.... or funny.

MacGyver could build a Stargate and P90 out of a tin can and used condom.
