In 1999, Disney made a feature-length film out of this cartoon from the 1980s which had Matthew Broderick (The Freshman) and Rupert Everett (The Next Best Thing). See the video to the right to watch the official trailer for details.
I got bored with this show as a kid, because they totally refused to advance the story in any way. They just kept repeating the some formula every episode.
Now that Im older I realize that Inspector Gadget was literally an amalgam of 'Get Smart' & 'The Pink Panther' made especially for kids. Dresses like Peter Sellers, voiced by Maxwell Smart
Not too many fans of this cartoon realize that, within the context of this show, Inspector Gadget is really a hallucination and an alternate personality of his "niece", Penny. You see, Penny is a schizophrenic with anterograde amnesia which is why she and her dog solve the mysteries while Gadget is an incompetent moron.
Look people, The cartoons today are JUST as good as they were back then. I am very positive that our children would be saying the same thing when they are our age.
Penny's computer book was the coolest thing that I wished was real when I was a kid. Laptops didn't really exist yet. Instead business people carried around these 30 pound computers in a briefcase.
When I was little I used to clamber behind the TV set, trying to see Dr Claw's face. I just didn't understand the way things worked back then...........
@OddOneOut665 Yes thats a DeLorean. Deloreans are also being restored in texas. just google Delorean Motor Company. But im actually not sure if its a DeLorean or not... it could also be a 1980 Lotus Esprit Turbo
@OddOneOut665 I'm in a debate with a friend about the Gadgetmobile. It looks like a generic early 80s Japanese sport coupe. Examples: 300ZX, Mark II Supra, Isuzu Impulse, etc, etc.
@SuperStitchesTim My Little Pony real? Come on, there are PURPLE ponies. I am going to piss off a lot of bronies with this comment, but just get a life. Really.
@iAreRenHo3k Cartoons aren't real now? Maybe you just outgrew them. I have a 7 year old nephew and he's getting as much entertainment from cartoons as I was at his age (I'm 27 now). Avengers: Earth's mightiest heroes. Fairly Odd Parents. My life as a teenage robot. Spongebob. Samurai Jack. Futurama. Transformers (some new version). Just off the top of my head. Cartoons are very much alive for him. And for me too. Well some of them anyway. Obviously too old for spongebob but not for avengers etc
@Xylarxcode I've honestly not watched a modern cartoon for probably 7 or 8 years. I think anyone is allowed to look at their own generation of cartoons with rose colored glasses.
The point I'm making is that cartoons had a different feel back then than they do now. Inspector Gadget, Silverhawks, Ren & Stimpy, He-Man, etc. That was back before a cartoon had to make it through politically correct focus groups and demographic research and so forth. More creativity in my opinion.
@toadette64 They're still on where I live. That really depends on what region you live in, doesn't it. Europe has different shows and seasons at different times than America or Japan. We usually also only receive them much later than America making them much newer to us europeans then to Americans or Asians.
I liked this show, the movies didn`t do justice to his awesomeness and Gadget and the Gadgettinis almost ruined my good memories of this. They should air this cartoon on TV again.
I've just gone through pretty much the entire cartoon list that i used to watch showing my kids how great old school cartoons were. Cartoons nowadays, (with the exception on sponge bob) are crap. They have even ruined scooby doo. Bring back gadget, fraggle rock, dream stone, danger mouse, trap door bananna man just to mention a few.
0:30 instructions for a good cartoon
1.Catchy theme
2.Actual animation and not "live"...reality junk
3.An actual interesting plot
4.Lovable characters
5.A Delorean
