SERIES

MacGyver Mac and Riley (Lucas Till, Tristin Mays) go missing and wake up 24 hours later in a cornfield with no idea what happened or how they got there in the final episode of the rebooted adventure series. Justin Hires, Meredith Eaton, Levy Tran and Henry Ian Cusick also star. 8 p.m. CBS

After a protracted opening bit in which he semi-seriously attempted to pull a “MacGyver” and charge his phone with a lemon, a copper penny and a paper clip, writer-producer Peter Lenkov finally admitted it would take six lemons to finish the job and talked about his process in bringing the ’80s action series back to life.
