Inspector Gadget - Go Go Gadget 'Brella! (with the original British-accent voice by Gary Owens)

Inspector Gadget demonstrates his gadgets in air. This clip was taken and edited from the original, first version of the pilot episode, ''Winter Olympics'', produced in 1982. Before they cast Don Adams, the production company DiC considered having Gadget speak with a British accent. So, they cast voice actor Gary Owens and made a first recording. Gary Owens might not be Don Adams, but I love his ad-libbing towards the end of this clip ;)

As far as I know, this audio version of the pilot episode never made it to television, but it can be found on Magna Pacific's Australian DVD edition ''Inspector Gadget - The Original Series - Box Set 1''.

Oh, and thanks to biconditionals on youtube for pointing this out to me :)

wish we could get a copy

[Mesterius1]

You can. Read my various comments on this site about where to buy it. (It should also be available on ebay from time to time.)

I wonder if a full copy of the "Winter Olympics" pilot with Gary Owens exists anywhere in the world.

[Mesterius1]

Um, did you even read my video description? ;) It says that the entire "Winter Olympics" pilot with Gary Owens can be found on Magna Pacific's Australian DVD edition "Inspector Gadget - The Original Series: Box Set 1". The reason I'm not posting the full episode is that I want to support the DVD sales of Inspector Gadget. It can easily be bought online... if you need a tip, I got my copy fairly cheaply from the Australian DVD store 'Family Box Office' (fbo.com.au).

@Mesterius1 can anyone outside the land of OZ buy a copy?

[Mesterius1]

I don't see why it's so hard to get, but everyone ouside the land of OZ (or Australia, if you will) can buy a copy. You can find it at any online Australian DVD store, and I've already described what I think is the best alternative: Go into the web site fbo.com.au and search for 'Inspector Gadget'. You'll find box set 1 in no time and get info on how to buy it/register as a customer. (Just note that it's region 4, so you must either own a region-free DVD player or just watch it on your PC.)

Wen I was a kid I loved this show and Today I still do.

I wish they would bring this show back. Along with all the other classic Cartoons.

Don Adams of "Get smart" did a better job of voicing gadget.

[SpartenB89]

I saw this voice acting on foxtel once and he had the mustache i thought what happened to his face and voice. Then I thought that the normal voice actor might of been sick or sumthin lol
