MacGyver

Just some food for thought late at night because I slept 14 hours last night and can't sleep :P

But... what other shows can you think of with a main cast of one. I mean, there's one other person in the credits, but the show is pretty much all MacGyver. And really, one other person in the credits!!

Shows like 'House' are named after a main character, but when you think about it, 'House' actually has a huge ensemble cast. MacGyver, not so much.

So... not only are their challenges writing wise... but think about the challenges shooting wise. Those were probably some pretty long shooting days for Richard Dean Anderson when you consider that he was in pretty much every scene of that show! At least it wasn't heavy on exposition... lol.

In all seriousness, I really can't think of any other shows so very focused on one character. Feel free to prove me wrong.

There. Chew on that!
