For those unaware...pilot episodes rarely are the same as the series. Pilots are simply a concept or idea of what a series will be about. Some pilots have different actors and actresses than the official first episode of a series and in this series, as you can see, character designs are different as are some of the voices. The voice of the Chief in this pilot episode is John Stephenson. He was also the voice of the news reporter at the start of the episode.
I'm asking my self the same question. Since when did he got a moustach? even chief quimby voice change. I remember running form school to catch the very first episode in Septemeber 1983.
@MsOneiroi77 it was the original idea, but it got scrapped as they thought he looked better without it. A wise move - i didn't like the idea anyway. :P
@CrackSom3 yeah I see what you mean it just cuts too close to the bone with other bumbling detective characters like Inspector Clouseau in The Pink Panther.
@MsOneiroi77 originally the writers gave him the look of Inspector Clouseau from the Pink Panther and the personality of Maxwell Smart also played by Don Adams but the producers thought that the mustache was a bit too much so they made him clean shaven for the rest of the episodes!
@VampiressFira Thats ok. Before I saw this again I had forgot about the mustash Gadget as well. Probably because he only had a mustash in the 1st episode and for some reason they got rid of it for the rest of the episodes
@VampiressFira LOL thats true. Then again I wonder why they didn't keep the mustash because as far as I heard that was the original idea the creators had for this show. I forget why they changed their mind.
@superfox89 I say it's because the show couldn't be taken seriously in any way, shape, or form, if Inspector Gadget kept that funky mustache. That's probably not the reason, but that's the reason in my head. Sounds good enough to me. lol
@VampiressFira Sounds reasonable to me as well. I can't even take him seriously with that mustash that makes him look a little like Luigi with a trench coat lol
Did he had a mustach in the beginning? O_O (I saw some episodes of when i was young like 3.. 4 but i dont remember much of it.. but he didnt had a mustach back then..)
Yeah, til the owners of the Pink Panther franchise complained he looked too similar to inspector Clousou from their movies. Face is Gadget is Robo-Clousou right?
@cdemanelis Agreed, I mean, 4Kids, really? I thought they went bankrupt or something, how are they still here? And shows like Chowder, and Flapjack, and all that shit is just stupid. I mean, the early 2000 was good, like Jackie Chan Adventures, that show was great. Oh how I miss those shows.
@Alaadein1 I still watch it. On tv if it ever shows up. Makes you wonder why can't Claw just kidnap Penny and Brain since they're the one who do most of the work and Gadget just takes credit for it. Although, some episodes he does do something, but mostly Penny and Brain do all the work.
@Davisrullzs: No. I'm saying IG ran in the 80s (see the year date of the pilot [1983]) first & was reran into the 90s. The same with Fraggle Rock (1983-1987), The Disney Afternoon (particularly, Gummi Bears, Ducktales, Chip & Dale's Rescue Rangers, & Talespin), The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, & others.
That's strange, I'm sure I remember a line at the beginning where Penny comments on Gadget's mustache. He says that it is so no one would recognize him. It is just before Quimby calls. Are there alternate versions of this?
@justaguy12345 The role of Gadget went through three different voice artists during production of the pilot episode. The first was Gary Owens, who voiced Inspector Gadget in a deep-toned, British-sounding way. Jesse White sounded closer to the voice of Maxwell Smart (Don Adams) of Get Smart, one of the series' inspirations. Eventually, producers decided to hire Don Adams himself to get the full effect, and found that he fit the role perfectly.
wow i din't even know that there on youtube episodes are from that show maybe said some people this already but i still say it thank you for up :D and i always love this kinda parts like 3:04 till 3:30 xD
Haha, You Fools! That's not Gadget! That's Mario in disguise! Obviously Gadget was too much of an idiot to take out Dr. Claw so Penny hired Mario to come whup his ass. Mama Mia!
This may be a dumb question, considering the utter silliness of this show, but I have to ask; what exactly IS Inspector Gadget? Is he a robot? A cyborg? What?
@kyawmawthu I don't know why they gave him a moustache in the first place, but I do know they removed it due to his resemblance to Inspector Cluseau from the Pink Panther films.
@HollywoodStudios100 From tvtropes: "Di C Entertainment had to remove the mustache for the rest of the series after MGM threatened to sue them for Gadget looking too much like Inspector Clouseau."
Also, I'm a little confused here...Gadget is trying to get rid of the dynamite, but Brain keeps grabbing it to bring it back to him...why? isn't Gadget TRYING to get rid of it?
I've got two Inspector Gadget DVDs, a total of eight episodes. Anyone know if I can get a compilation of every episode? many of my old favourite cartoons are being re-released as complete series. I'm in the UK btw.
It's funny to see Inspector Gadget with a moustache. I wish that it would have showed how Inspector John Brown became Inspector Gadget. I mean origins are nice.
