Episode Notes

With the series in its last season, this episode was used as a potential pilot for a Colton Brothers spinoff. It didn't go to series. Richard Dean Anderson essentially only makes a cameo appearance.

This episode was held over from the sixth season, as can be determined by the credits which feature many sixth season crew who didn't transfer over into the new season.

Episode Quotes

Frank Colton: Oh you dummy. The bottle!
MacGyver: You keep calling names like that, he's going to take a walk.
Frank Colton: He knows I love him. Don't you, sugar puss? Push the bottle, Froggie, come on down, sweetheart.

Billy Colton: College. Don't even know what classes to sign up for.
Frank Colton: First two years they tell you.
Jesse Colton: Now how would you know? You ain't even seen the inside of a high school, let alone college.
Frank Colton: I know because I'm three years, six months, eight days older than you are, therefore wiser than you are, little brother.
Mama Colton: I'll get it.
Jesse Colton: There comes a time when chronological age and wisdom catch up. In our case, that happened when you was about four years old.

MacGyverisms:
* A yardstick centered on a roller. When the dog puts the bottle on one end, MacGyver kicks the other end down and catches the bottle in the air.
