The Inspector Gadget Thread!

~~Mew~~ · 02-03-2015, 04:19 PM

From the classic DiC cartoon, to the Disney movie series, some CGI series and cartoons in the mix, and the upcoming CGI series this year, come here to talk and discuss our favorite bumbling detective, the Don Adams voiced Inspector Gadget!

*TheCanadiandrome* · 02-03-2015, 05:19 PM

nothing beats the vintage cartoon, bar none, period!

~~Mew~~ · 02-03-2015, 05:29 PM

Yes!
Pure greatness.

*TheCanadiandrome* · 02-03-2015, 05:35 PM

Yes.
And I hate claw's face from the toy and SNES game.
I wish it were almost cat like, like I imagine it, because of the M.A.D. Logo!
Here is the introduction to the new series coming out:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lL9guIMtbo
Claw has a son or nephew now?

*Allio* · 02-03-2015, 05:45 PM

Enjoyed it as a kid. now, not so much.

not keen on the new theme song but looks kinda decent

~~Mew~~ · 02-03-2015, 06:07 PM

Yes.
Meh.

I was watching some of the episodes from the DIC series not too long ago. It brought back memories.

Was Dr. Claw's face ever seen in that series?

in the vintage series? no. i believe his face was ever shown in the first, yet forgetable, live-action movie

*Wildcat* · 02-03-2015, 10:32 PM

Loved it growing up. Looking forward to the new one. Intro looks good...like they upgraded the original one. That's nice.

Just noticed there on Youtube, Gadget and the Gadgetinis, I never saw that before. Don't even remember hearing about it. That's weird. Gotta watch some of those.

The movies were ok. Just wish the car had been cartoon accurate and not a talking convertible. I have every piece of the McDonald's happy meal toys that form inspector gadget. It builds a nice big figure.

There was also a cartoon called Gadget Boy wasn't there? It was kinda based on Inspector Gadget I guess. I don't think it last very long.

*TheCanadiandrome* · 02-03-2015, 10:37 PM

Yeah if you do some checkin there was a series something like that yes

Gadget and the Gadgetinis sounds and looks really good. It's an actual continuation. Cool.

I remember seeing a few episodes of Gadget Boy. I don't remember it enough though. I should watch that too. Kinda weird that it's not really tied to IG...just a different version I guess.

Go-Go Gadget Nostalgia!

The original will always be one of my favorite cartoons of all time. I never cared much for anything after the first season, though I did like Inspector Gadget Saves Christmas and Inspector Gadget’s Last Case.

You know how most kids usually fantasized about having super powers? As a kid I always wished I had all the abilities of Inspector Gadget. I’m sitting down and I need something across the room? Go-Go Gadget Arms! Need a pen, flashlight, binoculars, extra hand, screwdriver or umbrella? You got all that and more. Tony Stark wishes his Iron Man suit could do all the things Inspector Gadget can.

The Inspector Gadget game for the Super Nintendo was really good too. If you pause the game at just the right time during the final boss, you can see half of Doctor Claw’s face. That blew my mind as a kid.

The game and the toy (which shows his full face) probably came out at the same time

Gadget's Last Case was good, but it should have had the original Gadget-Mobile.

*TheCanadiandrome* · 02-04-2015, 03:33 PM

Gadget's Last Case is kinda what i was talking about earlier, whereas i was hoping for some kind of finality

I don't like that theme at all. It's pretty bland and uninspiring if you ask me. Also, does Dr Claw have a plucky teenage son now or something? I don't like it.

Have you folks ever seen the pilot episode of the original cartoon series, where Gadget has a moustache and is voiced by Gary Owens? It's pretty weird to think it could have gone that way.

~~Super Goku~~ · 02-04-2015, 10:17 PM

I'm glad more people like Inspector Gadget. This is a nice topic, MewMeow.

I am a big fan of the original cartoon. It would be nice if a TV channel would show the old episodes. I have a DVD with some episodes on it.

I'm looking forward to the new series. I'm glad it will be shown in the USA. Early on, I thought it might possibly be just in Canada, but I wasn't sure.

As for Dr. Claw, he is one of my favorite 1980s cartoon villains. I like how he is mysterious. To my knowledge, his face is seen in the Super Nintendo game, the action figure, and some other video game or computer game.

Watching new episodes of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Inspector Gadget is like brining a new version of nostalgia to this decade.

*sdp* · 02-04-2015, 10:33 PM

I really liked IG as a kid but while I find it curious to check the show out again I'm overwhelmed by the amount of episodes since I'm guessing they all follow the same format not to mention two spin offs with 52 episodes it doesn't make me want to get into the series.

Random continuity questions: So Gadget boy is a prequel, does it break continuity or is it never explained how he became IG in the cartoon? I know they explain it in the Live Action movie. Gadget and the Gadgetinis is a sequel right? What about the animated movies? do they follow the continuity of the show? Is the new show in continuity?

As far as the new show based on the opening it looks beyond awful, early 2000's CG.
