This year sees the celebration of the shows 30th anniversary, and given that's just the right age for people to feel nostalgic about Angus MacGyver's antics, it's perfectly placed for a return to our TV screens.
With that in mind, CBS have decided that its high time for the show to make a comeback, but not as we know it.
The new version that they're planning on putting together will follow a 20-something Angus "as he gets recruited into a clandestine organization where he uses his knack for solving problems in unconventional ways to help prevent disasters from happening".
Henry Winkler (aka "the Fonz") who was involved in the original will return as an executive producer according to Entertainment Weekly, but Furious 7 and Insidious director James Wan will be behind the camera, at least for the show's pilot.
They also report that Wan has been a MacGyver fan for quite a while and had been involved in trying to get a feature film version off the ground a few years ago which never came to pass. Still, the director stated earlier this year that he hadn't given up on doing something that would involve the iconic character, saying " I wanted to put my MacGyver story around something like a North by Northwest: He gets blamed for something that he had designed, something really big that’s something everyone wanted, and now someone has weaponized it and everyone’s coming after him".
If you were more of an A-Team fan, then you can also look forward to that getting a reboot at some stage too, which was announced last week by 20th Century Fox.
We just hope they keep the same theme tune as before.
