OllieSuave-007 Another cartoon show from my childhood - about Inspector Gadget, the super cop with just about every mechanical tool and gadget built into him, from a copter under his detective hat to his extended arms, and from roller skates under his shoes to his extended legs. He battles the forces of M.A.D., a criminal organization bent on taking over some of the world's greatest landmarks or artifacts, headed by the notorious Dr. Claw.Inspector Gadget is voiced by Get Smart actor Don Adams, who gave the character a very unique and comedic portrayal that fits Gadget's good-hearted but bumbling personality. In the earlier episodes, Gadget seemed to be more in tune in tracking down the bad guys and giving chase to Dr. Claw, but as the show progressed, he seemed to be oblivious to his surroundings while on his mission, inadvertently allowing his niece Penny and dog Brain solve the crimes for him. I would have prefer to see Gadget to be a little more competent, and could do without the later addition of the annoying character Corporal Capeman. But, nonetheless, this was a really fun show with plenty of laughs, adventures and a really catchy theme song. It's a real treat seeing Inspector Gadget use his many gadgets and tools as he tries to get himself in and out of wild situations. And, it's always suspenseful for this cartoon that Dr. Claw's face is practically never shown.Grade A-
Chris1993-102-829725 I grew up with the eighties Inspector Gadget and I absolutely loved this show, and I still do. The show was funny and exciting and I really truly miss the adventures of the clumsy Inspector Gadget, his brave and intelligent niece Penny and her dog Brain setting out to stop Dr. Claw and MAD's evil plans. The theme song brings so much joy and so many memories of Inspector Gadget, Penny and Brain. The animation is so beautiful and unlike any cartoon show I have seen, the characters are hilarious and lovable and voice cast is outstanding. Again, it really makes me miss the old Inspector Gadget from my childhood. It is a unique show and one of my favorites that I will always hold dear.
MustangMan44 Inspector Gadget rocks! I wish that they still showed it on TV. I can remember staying up late on Saturday nights with my dad when I was growing up and watching the three stooges and then inspector gadget. I'm going to have to watch out for the seasons on DVD so I can retain those memories. The effects aren't the best when compared to todays standards, but it gives that early eighties feel that makes you think of growing up. I just wish that the show wouldn't of ended and they would have made more episodes. If anybody reading this has any pull on what cartoons are shown on the "old cartoon" channels, see if it would be possible to put it back on air. I'm sure that if a poll was taken, it would show that I'm not the only one that feels this way.
TheLittleSongbird Shows like Inspector Gadget, Dangermouse, Scooby Doo, Looney Tunes, Pink Panther Show, Tom and Jerry, The Flintstones, Darkwing Duck, Talespin, DuckTales, Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain and Tiny Toons make me realise how much I miss my childhood. Whenever I see an episode of either of those shows all those warm, nostalgic memories come flooding back.Inspector Gadget is a classic. Forget the movies, which were both quite poor, this show is the real thing. The animation has a great look to it, I loved the designs of the characters and backgrounds and the colours are visually pleasant too. The music alone gives the show its classic status, the theme tune is wonderful. The writing is very consistent in a good way, the stories are always exciting and well-thought out and the pace is spot on.The characters add a huge amount to the show. Gadget himself is bumbling yet very lovable, Penny is not irritating instead she is very likable and smart and Dr Claw(who you never see other than his claw) is a great villain. The voice acting also adds a lot, Don Adams, Cree Summer and Frank Welker are all top notch. Overall, this childhood favourite is a classic and worth looking out for. 10/10 Bethany Cox
