cloudpuma I'm really embarrassed about telling people what stuff I like from the 80s. This is my "guilty pleasure".I was never quite a fan of slapstick comedy, but here it just works. The characters are amazing. You have your hero who can't do anything because he's dumb, the super-smart girl that is too young to be as smart as she is, the partner-in-crime, and the villain who sits around petting his cat.I love video games, so I want a video game adaptation of some kind. A GOOD ONE. Inspector Gadget: Advance Mission was the best.If you're a parent of a 6 or 7 year old, I highly recommend you introduce this show to them. Now I'm gonna watch it myself despite being older than 7. Teens can like it too!

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.

Lee Eisenberg Some years after playing the inept Maxwell Smart, Don Adams played an equally witless agent: Insp. Gadget. Come to think of it, there were plenty of funny contraptions of the previous show (such as the shoe-phone). Now that I think of it, Penny's computer disguised as a book predicted the iPhone by almost twenty years! Like Insp. Clouseau, Gadget causes more accidents than he prevents, saving the day out of dumb luck (although it's actually Penny and Brain who do the work, unbeknownst to Gadget). I would hate to be Chief Quimby: the things that both he and Maxwell Smart's chief have to put up with! I guess that if Dr. Claw actually knew what a moron the inspector is, he and his cat would probably just have the poor sucker shot (which would probably fail).I notice that "Inspector Gadget" got created by DIC, the same studio that created "The Real Ghostbusters" (both featured the voices of Frank Welker and Maurice LaMarche). It would have been neat to do a show in which Gadget and the Ghostbusters have to cooperate on an assignment.Anyway, pretty funny. Yes, I would believe.

BlackJack_B Inspector Gadget remains one of my favorite cartoon series. I've probably seen the 64 episodes of the original season dozens of times. It never gets tiresome to see Gadget's *ahem* gadgets fail on him or getting friendly with the M.A.D. Agents who are trying to off him.I sometimes feel he was made to be dense so he wouldn't know Penny (his super-genius niece) and Brain (Gadget and Penny's disguise-wearing beagle) actually do all the heavy lifting.The voice work of Don Adams (as Gadget), Cree Summer (as Penny) and Frank Welker (as Dr. Claw) is top-notch. The cartoon isn't dated at all in fact, despite being from the 1980's. I'll still watch an episode here or there on Teletoon Retro. It's great children's T.V., too.My favorite episode is Quizz Master, the final episode of the original 64 series run. Dr. Claw brainwashes people on a Let's Make A Deal-type gameshow into robbing armored cars. It's laugh-out-loud funny to see Inspector Gadget's attempts to win a toaster.
