Will you shut up? Gadget is equally as funny as Get Smart and is ten times better than nearly every current cartoon and "mainstream" anime being shoved down our throats right now.

You have no taste if you blast Gadget.

Hey, hey, let's not go to the extreme, Zarius. He has a right to his opinion, and you don't have to agree with it, but let's not get hostile over it.

This is the SECOND post he's made in this thread dissing Gadget, he's trying to force his opinion down our throats as if it's fact.

As long as you don't think it's fact, why should you even bother? It's not like he's going to change his mind. Just let him be, it causes less trouble that way.

I understand how you feel, but as a keeper of the peace (I'm trying to keep this place as calm as possible), I'd like to avoid any kind of conflict. Besides, Stryker has been a little...hot-headed as of late. I would just leave him alone for a while.

EDIT: I've been known to be a hypocrite myself. I respect people's opinions, but sometimes I lash out when someone hates something computer-related...

Maybe that's because it was a straight spoof of Get Smart.

Gadget is a spoof of get Smart, not to mention it pays homage to a lot of other references to many Spy films and Spy cartoons that came before it.

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

Most modern remakes of classic cartoons suck. The new generations don't understand the magic that made the originals so special, and the result is a series that has no relation to the original, and drives off the old fanbase. That's why Gadgetiens sucks so greatly as compared to the original Gadget.
If the animation companies would realize that the old fans would watch, and quit trying to change everything to appeal to only the younger audience, then sequels might be a little better. The new TMNT is one of those VERY few examples that appeals to both. It moves into the future without forgeting where it came from.

Well said, ThirdMarioBro. TMNT is one of the very few shows that have surpased their originals.

"Surpassed" my ass.

It's EQUALLY as good as the original.

It's like how Beast Wars is equally as good as Generation One

I had no problem with Matthew Broderick, who's Tony Shaloub? While on the subject of Broderick, am I the only one who finds it interesting that Broderick has two cartoon versions of himself (Neither of them look like their silver screen counterpart of course but they are the same character) One of these cartoon Brodericks is Inspector Gadget, and the other one is Nick Tatopoulos. Can you imagine the man who controls The King Of Mutants as Inspector Gadgets?

Tony Shalhoub currently plays detective Adrian Monk on the TV show "Monk". I'll always remember him as Antonio from "Wings".

He's got a fantastic acting range, and is a master with accents. I don't doubt he could have made a smashing Inspector Gadget. Then again, I'm biased. He's one of my favourite actors.

On a different note, my husband looks EXACTLY like Matthew Broderick, ala Ferris Bueller. It's frightening.

And I look like Leonardo DiCaprio, guess we should all be on the celeberaty lookalike show! No matter how many times I look at Broderick, I always see his Godzilla cartoon character...
