The WB first gave us a young version of a heroic guy through Smallville, which features a young Superman. While the show did do us a favor by giving the world the pretty Kristin Kreuk, I just couldn't sit through watching the show. It seems awfully boring, especially in comparison to the Superman movies that were so entertaining. (OK, maybe not parts 3 and 4.) And that's why 24 is the show I watch Tuesdays at 9.

And now comes word that they want to make a show revolving around a young MacGyver. Now MacGyver was one of my favorite shows in the 80s. Man, the things he could do with a paper clip and some bubble gum. Along with the movie that they're planning, it all seems like a really bad idea. MacGyver was a smart show and in an age where The Bachelor is a big hit, Young MacGyver may get dumbed down too, being on the WB, or else nobody will watch. Besides, we all saw how horrendous the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles were. Stop it before it's too late.
