MacGyver


Watching my mate's MacGyver season 1 box set recently (you can't beat a bit of 80s retro TV...) and noticed a 20 year old Teri playing the unbelievably stupid bimbo that is Penny Parker. Still, at least she looked cute tottering around in that yellow dress, boing boing.

hihih. She really was annoying in this episode. She was looking very sweet and her quirky voice *lol*
When I remember correctly, she wasn't so stupid, when she appeared a couple of years later on MacGyver, or was she??

Didn't she appear again in an episode about a cursed house? I think Penny inherited a house, but there was someone hiding in the basement. Reminded me of Phantom of the opera, but still Teri was cute in the ep. They even found a skull in the house's front yard and MacGyver reconstructed the head with pencil erasers and other stuff - and the head looked like Teri afterwards. Really cool!

The skull was her aunt's.

She appeared in an episode at a theater as well, and performed a smoking musical number. If you search youtube with "Cleo Rocks" you should find it. She is especially bendy.

True. Michael Des Barres who played Murdoc in that episode wrote the song.

I just saw her in a season 2 episode called "Soft Touch" and she was looking very cute. She was wearing a cowgirl costume because she had a job as a singing telegram.

She and Richard Dean Anderson had wonderful chemistry on MacGyver. I heard that they dated in real life. Wonder what happened. Anyway, they were cute together.

I'm just watching "Cleo Rocks" and the opening scene with the dance rehearsal is just SOOO cheesy and embarrassing. It's shows like MacGyver that make happy that the 80s are gone - and hopefully never come back!

That episode was probably why she was cast as Stallone's dancing sister in Tango & Cash.

She was in a bunch of MacGyver episodes. It seems like she and Jack Dalton were the two most obnoxious MacGyver buddies on the series. Most of the others would just appear in one episode and get killed off.
