MacGyver<\/em><\/strong> scrounges around the junk pile and assembles the DVD presented in its originally televised 1.78 anamorphic widescreen aspect ratio. Although there is some artifacting in a few scenes, still doesn\u2019t look half bad with good colors.<\/span><\/p>\n

The episodes come with standard but effective Dolby Digital 5.1 tracks with crisp and clear dialogue levels and some okay depth during the action-centric scenes.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

While I don\u2019t really have a problem with CBS and their reboot of Hawaii Five-0<\/em> but MacGyver<\/em><\/strong> is one that really doesn\u2019t work both in terms of its style and the performances, most notable Lucas Till who just doesn\u2019t look quite right in the role. The DVD release has fine video and audio transfers and an okay selection of bonus features.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
