Gadget & The Gadgetinis
 

Alot of television shows from the 80's and early 90's have been redone, Gadget & The Gadgetinis has to be by far the worst, and this is coming from a guy who grew up watching Inspector Gadget. Supposibly set years after the events of the original Gadget series, Gadget & The Gadgetinis plays off as follows, Gadget no longer works for the Metro City Police Department, he now works for the US military which means he now takes orders from Colonel Nozzaire (That's right , no more Chief Quimby and self-destructing messages, sorry), and as Gadget has been promoted he now answers to the name Lieutenant Gadget, not Inspector Gadget. Brain is no longer in this one, instead Penny has built two miniture identical robots called Figget and Digget (Robots modelled on Lieutenant Gadget himself). Don't even get me started on the animation, you thought the Warner Bros turtles were bad? You ain't seen crappy till you've seen till you've seen the animation of the new show. Where as shows like Ninja Turtles 2003 have greatly enhanced the animation, Gadget and The Gadgetinis doesn't even try to improve it's images, Dr. Claw alone looks like an Empire Zerg reject. I always loved Mad Cat, here I can't stand to look at him! Oh and remember that car we all knew and loved, Go Go Gadgetmobile, a vehicle that could be either a van or a police sports car? Here it looks like some one tried to build a Chevy Bel Air replica from a sunken speed boat! No it doesn't turn into a van, nor does it look anything like the GadgetMobile from the old show. I used to love the theme song, used to sing it when the intro started, did they even bother to use the original theme? No, they subject us to a 'song' that sounds like it was sung by a numb-mouthed drunk! If you want to vomit, go ahead.

In short verdict, it is such a pitty, no, a crime that after all these years they allow the rights of such a wonderful show to fall into the hands of a bunch of no-talent hacks and let them create a new Gadget show stripped of everything that made the original such a joy to watch. :evil: Terribly disapointing.

True in all respects. That series sucked beyond belief. Thankfully, they're releasing the original on DVD in a month and a half. :D

I can't believe they got rid of Brain...DiC REALLY sucks as of late...

Anyway, I think I once saw an episode of the original that wasn't quite like the others...Gadget had a mustache, the drawings were CRUDE (Penny looked like a chinese for God's sake), the episode happened in winter. Anyone know what I'm talking about? Even the intro song was different (visually speaking).

I think that was the original episode.

That's news to me :o I'll be sure to get my copy.

meaning...?

anyone have any pictures?

It was the pilot episode I think.

Did it have a title?

I've never heard of it... did it even have Don Adams as the voice of Gadget?

No, Maurice LaMarche played Gadget in the new series, you can tell it's phony.

... :|

I don't really see Gadget speaking with Egon Spengler's toon voice.

So what you're trying to say, Jarrah, is that the "new" Gadget show was just some way for DiC to get money off the Inspector Gadget franchise?

BTW, thanks for the info...

It's not that new. It came out in the late 90s.

Actually, the Gadget & The Gadgetinis show is made by

Disney...WTF??? Still, this show was nothing but a money making scheme, right?

Doesn't surprise me, Don Adams is pretty old so he probably couldn't do it.

Well how'd you ever guess?

Damn Disney. Money grubbing idiots. Oh well...

Yeah...those live action movies they made weren't masterpieces either.

I only saw the first movie.

Why Is Gadget So Celebrated? He's Dumb, he never gets anything done right!

Shame on you Mr.Gadget for all your failures, If I need a Man with a Helicoptor in his Head I will Call you but for now, I bid you Adieu

Maybe because his show was a straight spoof of all the spy flicks, it was funny, and it rocked! A dog and a girl that was always smarter than the so-called hero, a criminal organisation with a Blofeldish leader, and enough gadgetry to make Q, R, Smithers, and Donatello all jealous. It even had Don Adams (from Get Smart) play Inspector Gadget. How can you not love a man who has it all, Go Go Gadget Copter, Go Go Gadget Laser, Go Go Gadget Arms, Go Go Gadget Cuffs, Go Go Gadget This, Go Go Gadget That. Penny and Brain even had their own gizmos, commumications wristwatch/dog colar and Penny's computer book. Not to mention the GadgetMobile, the car was one of those icons, Alec Sects has his G-6155 Intercepter, James Bond has his Aston Martin, BatMan has the BatMobile, and Inspector Gadget has a vehicle that can be either a van or a cop car at the shift of a gear stick. And who could forget those notes that would always blow up in Chief Quimby's face "This message will self-destruct in thirty seconds" :lol:

I am not afraid to admit that when I was a child and saw Inspector Gadget, I decided to give it a shot, you know, creating my own Gadget persona. Ah the memories.

You know... as bad as it is, I REALLY want to see it. It's unfair that the Damn thing dosen't come here, but we get a second Sabrina the Teenage Witch show (BOOOOOO!!!!!)

Don is pretty old, and I've heard Maurice's Gadet before (In fact, he's been voicing Gadget ever since the Christmas Special from 1993, but Alternating with Don)

However, Inspector Gadget's Feild trip is being rerun. it's very bland, and it doesn't satisfy my gadget fix, but they do work in a lot of "Get Smart" refferences.

I saw the animate Movie (actually, I have the DVD... a christmas present) it wasn't as good as the original series, but it was leaps and bounds over the Damn Disney version... they didn't even get the name of the TOWN right (Riverton my shell.... it's METROCITY named after the town from AstroBoy, I assume) Oy Vey... and Mathew Broderrick? What were they thinking (Clearly It had to be Tony Shaloub)

And what's this DVD of which you speak? Region 1? When?

This is blasphemy. My childhood is barrel-rolling in its grave. To this day, I still quote "I'll get you next time, Gadget! NEXT TIME!" in Dr Claw-fashion whenever I am thwarted.

Bastardizing Inspector Gadget (the live-action movies aside) is bad enough, but heaven help me if anyone dares touch the brilliance that is Dangermouse.

Tony Shaloub... he would've been an awesome Gadget.

Heh... Dangermouse ruled... :)

I wouldn't worry so much about a Bastardised Inspector Gadget.... I mean, they already did that. It's called "Gadgetboy and Heather." YUCK!

I remember that show...GOOD LORD!!! if only I could vomit online...

Gadget Boy?! That's news to me!

I know! Why do people produce these horrible remakes of classic, holy shows? I used to watch that show religiously! My cousin bought a hermit crab last year just so he could name it Dr. Claw! Disney, you monster! Is there nothing you hold sacred, you souless beast!?

You took the words out of my mouth!

What they hold sacred is their amusement parks and hordes of money. I used to respect Disney, because they had some classic...CLASSIC movies in the past, and their art for the cartoon movies was really good, but they've been slipping up lately.

So far, the only "remake" that's considered good is TMNT 2003, brought to us by 4Kids. of all companies...

Their art was unsurpassed by almost if not any studio in the world. Walt Diseny was a very respectable man; however, the people who took over for him were evil sacks of crap.

Can you imagine what Turtles would be like if Disney got ahold of it...?

Wasn't a lot of the art done by Korean artists? Please correct me if I'm wrong, because I remember Voltron telling me something about that.

That's right, Ai. It's made by Dong Woo aniimation.


Yeah, and ALL of Disney's animated movies are basically the same story but with different characters...

I see. Yeah, those guys are incredible. But then they started incorporating CG into these movies. Now, I'm all for CG, but it doesn't always work along with animated films. I've seen it done well in a few animes, but only because it was a futuristic anime and it was well-worked into the animation.

Yep...I too started to notice that CGI is being used in 2D animation. Most of the time it looks cheap.

Inspector Gadget...one of THE greatest cartoons ever, no contest, and whilst I HATE "Gadget Boy", which was retarded BEYOND forgivness, I LIKED the first film, and "Gadget's Last Case"

"Gadget and the Gadgetinies" is'nt THAT bad, but it sure as hell ain't the Inspector Gadget we like, or expect, from Disney

Yes, they'd resolve all their problems through music and dance.
