Does it get better?

I recently started watching this again. I remember loving it as a kid in the 80s, but watching it again as an adult is destroying my nostalgia. The writing, the acting, the production values are all unbearably bad. I'm only through the first season though, and we all know first seasons can often be sub-par. Does the quality step up in later seasons, or am I just truly deluded by nostalgia?

It definitely gets better after the first season. It's all still very rough around the edges. Very dry. Basically the longer his hair gets, the more fun the show becomes. I'm not sure where the change happens with the updated MacGyver intro visuals, but that's the point where the show is in full swing.
