5.0 out of 5 stars A fine memorial to a short-lived show, 2 Jun 2007
By Wayne Redhart (West Midlands, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
Doreen and I have always been big fans of ice-dancing and there are few shows that live in our memory as vividly as 'Macgyver on Ice'. One has to admit that the highly-publicised withdrawal of Richard Dean Anderson from the main role had been a big blow and we didn't initially hope for much. It was reported on BBC's 'Nine o'clock News' that after three weeks of intensive rehearsal (during which the only manoeuvers he proved capable of executing were un-choreographed forward rolls) he was given his marching orders. Fortunately, when all looked lost, Robin Cousins (an obsessive Macgyver fan) leapt up as his replacement and set the show alight! The triple-lutz that he performed during the title theme was almost certainly the equal of anything that Richard Dean Anderson could have offered. Possibly the most memorable though, was the elaborate routine that he performed while assembling a nuclear warhead from everyday items (in a collapsed mine-shaft). Still, the critics were unimpressed. Will Self described it as follows:

"'Macgyver on Ice' spews forth symbolically elusive streams of tepid discontinuity from each and every capacious orifice (...) My ears still ring from the sheer tintinnabulation of vernacular disenchantment (...) It was an unmitigated disarray of anthropomorphical, pseudo-scientific anachronism."

Needless to say, after the initial tour, the show never resurfaced and its memory soon faded into obscurity. This rare souvenir is a marvellous trip down memory lane for those who lucky enough to have attended.

(Apparently Richard Dean Anderson has put some real effort into refining his skills recently, so don't rule out the possibility of 'Stargate on Ice' in the near future).
