Oh, man.. Maybe MacGyver trivia? I'm not a superman or anything, but it's probably something I could beat 99 random people in.

Any of my real interests or talents, I can readily admit I'm probably just average at.

Ok, give me 5 facts about MacGyver I wouldn't know. I've seen the show but it's been decades.

Um.. let's see.

Even though it was set primarily in LA (and all over the world), half the seasons were filmed in Vancouver.

MacGyver is always super anti gun, which we do get the backstory for. But in the pilot episode, he straight up is just shooting an assault rifle.

The building used for the Phoenix Foundation headquarters is The Qube in Vancouver. I think that is a cool looking building.

His first name is Angus. I think that's a pretty well-known one if you've seen the later seasons.

Dana Elcar started losing his eyesight (pretty sure to glaucoma) and they wrote his blindness into Pete's character.

Idk, those aren't super good ones, I guess I need a refresher.

That's awesome! Thanks friend. And now you have a reason to go watch it again.

What episode is the intro clip of him eating ice cream from?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

I'm not sure the name of it.. but I can say it's early season 1. Basically all of those clips come from like, 5 or 6 episodes of Season 1. Maybe I wouldn't do so well in this contest.
