The original MacGyver TV series had a family of bounty hunters known as the Coltons. The characters almost even got their own spin-off show. Now, 25 years later, the family is back – different actors, but certainly a nod to the original series.
Here’s how CBS describes tonight’s show, which is called “Hook.”
“Hook” – While tracking down the dangerous fugitive Aaron Deckard (Anthony DiRocco), Mac and Jack face the notorious Colton family of bounty hunters who already kidnapped their mark. Now, using a hook and a car cable, Mac must extract the criminal from the Colton’s, who are unaware of the deadly situation they’re in. Also, Bozer and Riley try to hack into Jack’s CIA file to find out about his history with Matty, on MACGYVER, Friday, Feb. 17 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Lance Gross, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Javicia Leslie and Jermaine Rivers guest star as Billy, Mama, Jesse and Frank Colton, respectively.
