Hey I’m Rosie! As an avid fan of both TV series, I am honored to be involved with such a positive, constructive, and impactful community, and proud to manage the MacGyver social media accounts.
To me, MacGyver is a mindset: a calm, can-do attitude built out of honor, bravery, integrity, and innovation.

“My first memories of MacGyver was when I was still a child and me and my sister watched MacGyver when we visited my grandmother. Then, I rediscovered MacGyver when I was in my early twenties, and it appeared to me as very attractive and close to my way of life.”
Barthélémy, who has a PhD in Film studies and History, teaches Cinema, TV series and History of Arts in university and graduate school. He currently has two MacGyver projects — The first is a study book, which he plans to translate into English so he can teach a course on MacGyver.
The second is a 90-minute documentary on MacGyver as a universal and timeless character who can inspire us in our daily life and for the future of mankind.
“Maybe MacGyver could be the man of tomorrow. The movie is already written. We already have a lot of items and archives that could be included. We already have our crew. We met Richard Dean Anderson some months ago. So it’s promising…”

I’ve been blogging about the MacGyver Reboot since 2016 on my blog Dashboard On Fire. Also, I’ve written most of the MacGyver Reboot Character Bio Pages onMacGyverOnline and helped as an admin in the MacGyverOnlineforums and maintaining the social media accounts; e.g. posting daily about the Reboot while it was still in production.
MacGyver means childhood memories, friendship, adventures, on tour with MiniMac and improvising.

My role on the Making Fun of MacGyver podcast is to intently watch each episode of the original show as I take notes to summarize the story. I also identify audio snippets that are pivotal to the episode… or ones that we can have a laugh with. To date, we’ve talked with Anthony De Longis, a season 1 villain and Bruce McGill, the reoccurring sidekick of MacGyver, Jack Dalton. Finally, I am one of two horrible singing voices on the show that attempts to sing back the #1 song of the time.
What Mac Means to me: Nostalgia, entertainment, education, and pop culture. It’s a chance to remember my youth and watching TV with my grandpa. It’s also a catalyst to bring me together with friends who live across the country and fans of the show from around the world.

Marc-Antoine Bressand grew up intrigued by movies, so joined the field and has since worked in visual effects on The Dark Knight, Thor, and Blade Runner 2049 to name a few.
He developed a huge collection of production items from filmings of the MacGyver TV series. But it wasn’t easy –
“I’ve been in touch with more than 200 cast and crew people who worked on MacGyver from all departments including, the creator, executive producers, writers, directors, cinematographers, actors, stunt men, artists, prop makers, composers, casting directors, etc. The goal being to find other items to buy to gather them and preserve them, like a kind of guardian of The Temple… they all told me they loved working on the show, sharing many behind the scenes stories.”
When Marc was a child, his dad worked a lot — MacGyver was one of the few weekly moments they shared, just the two of them.
“I remember someday, while finishing watching a MacGyver episode, I told my father ‘I’d love to meet MacGyver someday.’
He replied: ‘When you want something in life, if you do what you must to reach your dream, there is no reason it doesn’t happen.’
And it actually happened… I met Richard Dean Anderson who played MacGyver. Twice! It taught me and I’m still experiencing that nothing is impossible.”

I am 1/3 of the Podcast Making Fun of MacGyver, where we recap, review and ridicule every episode of the original show. Our show comes from a place of love and sincere support of the character with a backbone of friendly, non-ironic comedy.
As a kid, I watched every episode sometimes more than once when I could catch a rerun. MacGyver represented the kind of man I aspired to be. Smart, caring and compassionate. It’s no wonder MacGyver has stood the test of time. Check out the pod!

I’m the creator and co-host of Making Fun of MacGyver, a comedy-filled, nostalgia-stuffed podcast that recaps every episode of the original series.
MacGyver’s moral compass is a big reason why I love the show. While I can’t help but chuckle at those cheesy 80s moments (and mullets!), Mac’s integrity and compassion have made me a fan for life.

I have a blog called The MacGyver Project where I’ve ranked and reviewed every episode and interviewed many cast and crew members.
As a kid, MacGyver appealed to me so deeply that it felt as if it was created with me in mind. It was also special to me because watching it was time shared with my mother, who also loved the show. As an adult, it was a great pleasure to rediscover my love for the show while writing my blog.
