Inspiration - Music, part XVII
Saturday, January 10, 2009

I have had a couple of TV-themes before. MacGyver was also one of those series that never left my mind. As with the other two (21 Jumpstreet and Twin Peaks) I wrote my own episodes.

Or rather picked my favorite characters from my favorite series and made something "new".

As with most shows MacGyver was best at the beginning. When the word "macgyverism" appeared I realized I had seen my last episode. One great thing with MacGyver was that he was anti-guns. The other was that he had knowledge and imagination to make things out of nothing. When even the characters in the show expect MacGyver to do some "macgyverism" then it is time to move on.

There are some solutions that I just loved. Like when he needed a diversion. He put some pots and pans on top of bags of ice. Then he turned on a grill of some sort and left the room. When the ice melted the pots and pans hit the floor with a bang, the bad guys left to check and MacGyver appears behind them.

Or when he stopped an acid flow with chocolate, knowing that some substance in the bars would react with the acid turning it into something more solid. I wonder if that would work for real?



Here I present the theme to MacGyver:
