MacGyver's main asset is his practical application of scientific knowledge and inventive use of common items--along with his ever-present Swiss Army knife and duct tape, and the usual coincidence of being locked up in a room full of useful materials. The clever solutions MacGyver implemented to seemingly intractable problems -- often in life-or-death situations requiring him to improvise complex devices in a matter of minutes--were a major attraction of the show, which was often hailed for generating interest in basic science as well as providing entertaining storylines.
