Just caught my first ever epsiode of MacGyver on Spike.
See, here's the thing. As a child of the eighties/early ninties, I can't take anyone with a mullet, no matter who they are, seriously. People, Gandhi would have had troubles swaying me had he had a mullet.
Having it be RDA with a mullet is worse, because I know that under that fugly hairdo is a fairly attractive man. I just can't take the spikes and the little fringy thing at the back and the sheer blondness of it all without nearly dying laughing. Anyways, it was distracting.
Not as distracting, however, as the GIANT fake mustache MacGyver wore for most of the episode. I'm still pretty unclear as to how the whole thing works because this was a dream episode in which MacGyver was in the wild west and thus had the obligatory twang and GIANT mustache that covered half his face and made the whole thing very, very funny to me.
And my god, I've never seen a show where they say the main character's name so many times. It was weird and distracting. "Where's MacGyver?" "Hey! MacGyver!" "What's that Lassie? MacGyver's in the well?" "MacGyver!" They said it a lot.
So there I am, on the couch, all firm in my righteous mockage and the ep is ending (and, I should note, MacGyver grabs the girl and kisses her and does the same swoopy dip thing from Window of Opportunity) and I am giggling like a school girl because it's pretty damn silly and then MacGuver wakes up to some chick with an accent kissing him and blah blah blah she's going to Rio and not taking some professorship at some university and MacGyver's all sad and "I thought we were taking commitment here" and she's all 'yeah yeah don't pin me down, baby! I need to fly!" and they cut to the reaction shot and that was it. I suddenly understood why my mom once said that she thought RDA is a "handsome man". He was all adorable and had bed head (mullet bedhead!) and was all befuddled and his lips were a littel swollen from kissing the girl and I just melted because he was a little like a puppy and so damned cute.
But I still hate the mullet.
