Thanks to our online retail partners like
Amazon,
DVDEmpire, and
DVDPlanet, we've already had word since early March that
MacGyver - The Complete 2nd Season is coming out on
June 7th. We were even able to
show you an early look at the cover art prior to the formal studio release information being distributed to the press.
Now Paramount has made that announcement, confirming the 6/7/05 release date for a 6-DVD set. Running time is 1047 minutes. No official SRP will be set for this title, but expect retailers to sell it for " around $30 (around C$40 in Canada)." No extras were announced for this season, so it will be episodes-only just as with the previous release. Here's the studio's description of the set, followed by revised cover art (a hang-gliding/Capitol building shot was replaced by MacGyver repelling down the side of a cliff in front of an explosion):
MacGyver (Richard Dean Anderson) is a modern-day "knight-errant," a person people turn to in a crisis. He has a penchant for arriving on the scene in the eleventh hour, when the clock is ticking ominously and innocent lives often are at stake.
MacGyver is a packrat, collecting ordinary items of seemingly little value and stashing them in his knapsack "for a rainy day." And it is these same items that he uses to improvise his way out of trouble. MacGyver's ingenius solutions to seemingly insurmountable problems may seem like "gee-whiz" science fiction but they are not - it's all based on scientific fact.
