Upon first glance, MacGyver put up passage, but not hit-worthy, ratings. When you look at the bigger picture and see that it self-started on Friday nights against Last Man Standing and Hell's Kitchen, not to mention put some new life into the rest of CBS's night, you see that MacGyver was quietly one of the most successful new shows this season. The fact that it fell for its finale isn't as promising as I would have liked, though it should have a successful rebound in the fall and become a long-term player for CBS.
