Some people watch the Super Bowl just for the commmercials. Are Stargate fans in for a treat this year! Former Stargate SG-1 leading man Richard Dean Anderson ("Jack O'Neill") is jumpstarting the rest of his career with a new commercial for MasterCard. At the end of December he shot the commercial for their "Priceless" campaign, which is now set to air during Super Bowl XL on Sunday, February 5.
In the ad Anderson slides down a wire, drives a semi truck through a fence, and blows up a building -- then is found in a convenience store purchasing replacements for all the things he used to make his escape "priceless." The actor filmed a 30-second and 60-second version to begin airing in regular rotation March 6.
"While I've had offers to bring the MacGyver character back to life, MasterCard had the sense of humor I felt was needed to bring the character back," Anderson said. "The commercial really speaks to how oftentimes everyday items are truly 'priceless' and can serve as life savers."
The ad will air during the game's fourth quarter. Following the premiere, MasterCard's Priceless.com will offer behind-the-scenes footage and interviews from the filming of the spot.
Read more at RDAnderson.com! MasterCard International has a complete run-down of the commercial, from air freshener to tube socks. Super Bowl XL begins at 6 p.m. Eastern time on ABC.

Given that he's been slinging around an H&K MP5 and some other really fun looking hardware on SG1 for the last ten years, maybe he's changed his tune...
He's no Amanda Tapping, of course...

I always thought "The Foundation" was kinda sinister, in an ends-justifies-the-means kind of way...

I bought the first season of MacGyver because so many people recommended it. As hard as I tried, I found I couldn't care less about the show or his character. I didn't care whether I watched another episode or not. I quit watching the DVDs about a third of the way through the season. Boring.

That's possible, I s'pose. But it's more likely that he's just a frikkin' Hollywood hypocrite.

We've tried TiVo'ing them and had a similar experience - boring. I remember enjoying the show as a kid but now I can hardly sit through an episode.

While I never liked his politics, I enjoyed his character on SG1. As all the shows I am seeing seem to be out of sequence I did not see what happened to his character. Can you shed some light on that? Cheers.

In reality he was tired of doing the shows. In the show I think he got promoted out of the SGC. He still shows up every once in a while.
