‘MacGyver’ Fans Urge CBS to Revive Canceled Series After ‘NCIS,’ ‘Blue Bloods’ Renewals
CBS announced a slew of renewals on Thursday, granting new seasons to NCIS, Blue Bloods, S.W.A.T., [...]
However, the renewals of shows like Bull and NCIS has renewed MacGyver fan furor over the cancellation. Some fans are even pointing out that it feels unjust that Bull got a renewal despite star Michael Weatherly's harassment of former costar Eliza Dushku while MacGyver got the ax.
prevnextSo @CBS renews a show where a star was accused of harassment, but canceled a show where a star stood up for himself and his cast and crew? What's wrong with that picture? #SaveMacGyver

Seriously, these fans are not giving up. "Hi everyone, I feel that many of you have a drop in morale, as the last 2 episodes approach they are counting on us to give up. That's when we have to hold on past the finale. Maybe 1,3,6 months or a year whatever. We have to keep up the fight. ARE YOU READY?" wrote another fan.
