‘MacGyver’ fans campaign to save show

It looks like “MacGyver” will not be returning for a sixth season — and some viewers are not happy about that.
A petition has been launched in an attempt to get the series (which is either a reboot or a spinoff of the 1980s original based on who you ask) renewed by CBS.
“MacGyver is a beloved show that has been running on CBS for 5 years. It has had strong ratings and great storylines for 5 seasons,” the petition on Change.org reads. “For some reason CBS has decided to cancel it, inspite of it winning them the Friday night line up for weeks in a row.”
Lucas Till stars as Angus “Mac” MacGyver, a younger version of the character played by Richard Dean Anderson in the 1985 original series. In the new series, MacGyver is a secret government agent who has some nontraditional methods for beating the bad guys.
There’s also an active SaveMacGyver movement over on Twitter.
The series, which premiered in 2016, is set to air its final episode on April 30.
