CBS Releases First Trailer For New 'MacGyver' TV Series

"Mac" is coming back to television this fall and this time on the CBS network. Starring Lucas Till (X-Men: First Class) and George Eads (CSI), the new reimagined MacGyver series will feature an "action packed origin story following a young hero as he undertakes missions to save lives and change the world."

According to the new trailer, MacGyver will team-up with a government strategic task force as he "escapes perilous situations with nothing but a paper clip, his trusty knife and his wit." The trailer also hints that the new 20-something MacGyver might have some engineering heritage saying "like my dad always used to say, everything I need is right in front of me." Could this mean he is carrying in his father's footsteps?
