It looks like this late 80’s secret agent extraordinaire has found the secret to everlasting youth, because MacGyver is back for a new TV show and this time around he’s being played by a 26-year-old.

I’ll admit to being a big fan back in the day, but one look at this trailer below and I’m left thinking we’re in for a pile of absolute turd.

The folks at Egotastic agree:

This time it will star Lucas Till of X-Men fame as the titular MacGyver. He’s got long hair and looks like the member of a grunge band from the early 90’s. Just like in the original series, Mac is a genius that can come up with amazing tricks to save his butt using only his Swiss army knife and what’s around him.

This pisses me off, though. First of all, the chances of this sucking are pretty high. Secondly, why did it need to happen? Why can’t we leave things from the past in the past and come up with new ideas? Ugh, I hate the industry.

Fine, make your own mind up and see for yourself:

Something about it reminds me of this:

Some things are best left in the past…
