    Hi All
    I have to find this TV shows name.....
    Sort of a cheesy, funny, drama show.

    It was 100% filmed and set in Mexico.
    almost all of the extras were Mexican. (everyone who was not a "core" character was dark skinned).

    It sort of does remind me a bit of Macgyer but
    that is totally not it.

    screen shot from opening credits :)

    Prob not enough Mexicans in it though.
    Tales of the Gold Monkey looked promising until I seen it was based in the 30's, whereas the plane in the pic looks quite new :(

    He was probably chained to a radiator in Saw VII, and had to come up with the answer, or saw his own head off with a blunt hacksaw blade.:eek:
