MacGyver was a very popular action adventure TV series in The United States and some other markets, from 1985 to 1992.
Resourceful and possessing an encyclopedic knowledge of the physical sciences, the main character solved complex problems by making things out of ordinary objects, using his ever-present, always sharp Swiss Army knife.
