McGyver is great fun. Some of the solutions are absolutely ridiculous, of course, and the US attitude towards the countries behind the Iron Curtain show through sometimes too visibly (like gypsies as the misunderstood minority and stuff), but all in all, it's funny, harmless entertainment.
And I really, really liked Richard Dean Anderson as the peace-living, gun-hating, innovative geek. The character is just so different from Col. O'Neill, but RDA's personal humour comes to great effect in both... very pleasant.
I've found a lengthy Morgan/Garcia fic just now, but I won't recommend it. The basic idea is not bad, but the writing is so poor, hurried, the grammar is an insult, even for my foreign ears, and the end is so fluffy it makes my teeth ache. But I'll keep looking for you.
Do I need to say that aforementioned crap has fifty (!) glowing reviews?
