We even took out all the commercials for you! Feel free to stay home and watch those instead of seeing our "crappy movies". Nobody's twisting your arm. Even if we make the crappiest of crappy movies, it does not alter the original episodes you love so well. Those will always be there, just as you remember them. In light of George Lucas' recent work, you should be happy we actually released all the source material on DVD without tinkering with it first! The temptation was there, believe me. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a meeting about the new "Manimal" script to attend. Respectfully yours, Hollywood Dear Bob,

MacGuyver was always a good concept, even though it was spoofed and joked about by every comic during that time. I just don't think it is Movie material. A comedy, Austin Powers-ish, MacGuyver like MacGruber would be better. With the help of some Laser Cats "Lock and Load!" I would rather see a big screen adaptation of MacGruber.
