Recent Gadget Cartoon
No, I'm not talking about the Mainframe effort that combined the original Gadget look with the Gadgetini designs of Claw, Mad Cat, and Penny. I'm talking about the second season of "Gadgetinies"...you know, that bad Inspector Gadget spin off that aired in some european regions "fortunate" enough to get them? The series that tossed out Brain, Cheif Quimby, and replaced them with bumbling Gadget droids and a french colnel called Noisheir (or "Nosehair")
...And Penny was by far the least unattractive teenager I've seen in that series when compared to her "guilty as charged" appeal from the original... Well now those same writers have gone ahead and given Gadget...deapth. "Go Go Gadgetinies" is the lastest (and probably last) season based on the Gadget and Gadgetini series, in it Gadget finally finds a romantic relationship with "Inspector Prince", a purple haired, slightly more competent british secret agent with her own gadgets and gadgetinies at her disposal (plus she has a hilarious obession with stopping at any point in a chase for coffe), the most fascinating aspect about Prince is'nt the fact shes' a glorified mary sue that has all but made Penny redundant, but the fact her past is cloaked in mystery, leading to some shocking developments I wont' divulge for the sake of some you looking for these episodes, there bloody excellent, Claws' never been this badass either, throughout the series he has genuine "steamy office cubical" moments with his new mistress "Miss Molly" , and not only succeeds in capturing Gadget, he also tortures the s*it out of him and Prince to boot. Even better upswing is that Quimby is back I hope to god this series gets another renewal, this team fouled up in the last version, but seemed to have gotten rid of most of the cons for this, disliked the ending though (series actually has a finale, unlike other Gadget shows), but just dehumanize "Superprince" and get Penny back where she belongs in terms of full time assitence and we'll call this perfect. http://photobucket.com/albums/e45/Dr_Claw_of_MAD/

Ugh...you know...this whole bandwagon of "OMG, THIZ REMAKEZ SUCKZ" is so f*cking retarded now, even I'm getting sick of it. None of you hav'nt even watched it yet, what the heck makes you lot so sure it blows? I HATED the original season of Gadgetinis, yet loved THIS season, so that kind of proves that if the efforts' good enough, I'll lwatch it in spite of how much I loved an original version. It does'nt mean I DONT' love the original, or that I'm betraying it by liking a remake, which seems to be the "blasphemous" thing to do these days. I dont' remotley consider the new version of the Turtle cartoon in the same fracking leauge as the original, but I love it all the same, I gave that a chance, it caught me
Here I am offering some broad discussion on a new version, and all I get is the same rubbish from a bandwagon that died, or should have, RIP, when the new TMNT and He-Man series proved remakes work years ago. This season is an improvment, and I sure as hell wont' let sentimental attachments to the original, even if its' superior, deter me from giving something its' due |

I do actually wish they'd run the Gadgetinis here in America, as I'd like ANY Inspector Gadget over NO Inspector Gadget.
I gave up after I bought Inspector Gadget's Last Case and found it to be more disappointing than those live action movies. Which reminds me, is this Inspector Prince inspired by the female Inspector Gadget from the second live action movie? Sorta like the newer, blacker Gadgetmobile. This new season actually sounds very appealing, as all I wanted from the first live action Inspector Gadget movie was a slightly DARKER storyline. I dunno if the trailers were just misleading or what, but I was hoping Gadget would have grown up with his fanbase just a little. And just for the sake of asking a Gadget question that's been irking me, has Dr. Klaw's face ever been revealed in the show-itself, or only in the SNES game and the action figure? |

Yes, yes... I know that this was posted on 03-13-2006, but I have been looking everywhere on the net to find other places to discuss this outstanding series. Please forgive me.
 I guess i wanted to share my two cents and perhaps even discuss it further with folks. This is my favorite of the spin offs. It actually follows a set storyline instead of featuring random episodes that don't follow on from the previous one. There are a few new characters in this one and a few old and familiar faces too. Chief Quimby actually features in various episodes (along with his note-explodery) and even the original set of M.A.D Agents are back in their snazzy new black sneak suits. The new characters are Inspector Prince (Gadget's co-worker and soon-to-be-g/f *boohoo*), Miss Molly (Dr Claw's lady friend) and the 2 new female Gadgetini's who belong to Inspector Prince, who are called Data and Scooter and Prince's superior officer Chief Littlewood. Inspector Prince is a purple haired law enforcer. She is very clever, artistic, but also rather clumsy on occasion. And, like Gadget, she has gadgets of her own. They are kept neatly inside the navy, grey and beige backpack that she carries around everywhere. See the link for more info, I don't really want to go in depth too much. Miss Molly is Dr Claw's right hand lady and also share a romantic attachment. (ew.) She is dark, sinister and very sexy. Most of the time it is she who gives the MAD Agents their orders and not Dr Claw, since he finds it handy to have someone do all the work for him. Her outfit (A strappy red dress with huge slits down each leg, long black gloves and knee length boots and also wears stockings and a garter belt.) is unusual for a cartoon and is one of the many extra adult-aimed features of the show. Many actually come to the conclusion that its these more adult related features that allowed it to only show in the UK and not be aired in the US. Data and Scooter, the two female bots, were created for Inspector Prince. The four don't always get along and Digit and Scooter are fierce rivals. Data and Fidgit are more friendly towards each other and actually have a lot of fun most of the time. They created this real cute way of communicating when apart in enemy territory that is called the 'Marco-polo technique'. Fidgit will say "Marco" and Data willl say "Polo" (And proceed to giggle a hell of a lot) to let him know shes there. So cute! Chief Littlewood is like Chief Quimby was to Gadget. He is, however, much younger and doesn't smoke. lol. He wears a dark turquoise-ish jacket and is very vigilant. I don't know you guys remember from the 1983 original series... There was a MAD Agent who was really tall and skinny with a big nose, well his name was Agent Dick and he features more in this series. He tends to follow Gadget and Prince around making sure all the MAD plots work. (Most of the time getting attacked himself.) He is the only Agent that is referred to by name. There is a lil secret about him and one of the other characters, but you either already know, want to watch it (if its ever on again) or will most likely read it on pages you are likely to find lying around. I won't spoil it. 10/10 *holds up boards*

That's what they thought Dr. Claw looked like? Wow, he looks like some old plane pilot who forgot his helmet and is on crack. I always imagined Dr. Claw to look like Destro myself, which is funny they brought it up. Actually more like Soundwave from Transformers, I dunno why, they both have weird voices. But yeah he needs to have a helmet, in fact I wouldn't mind if they eventually showed Claw to the masses in the cartoon only to be completely covered in body armor.
But I thought it was a give in that anyone with a huge claw arm would have armor all around him or something. And wtf is this show? And why aren't the states getting it? I miss Inspector Gadget, I remember when they would have marathons of it on whatever channel it was back in the day. |

As far as the action figure goes... I have drawn (but do not have the methods yet to show you) that you can draw him in that manner, and he still can look sinister. The action figures were too cartoony looking anyway. I feel Gadget is cartoonish, but in a more rigid sort of way.
>>The new characters are Inspector Prince (Gadget's co-worker and soon-to-be-g/f *boohoo*), Miss Molly (Dr Claw's lady friend) and the 2 new female Gadgetini's who belong to Inspector Prince, who are called Data and Scooter and Prince's superior officer Chief Littlewood.<< Heh heh heh... Little Wood. Heh heh heh Huhuh huh huh huhhuh.. Sorry... Had a Bevis and Butthead out of body experiance. Now, I DON'T like any of these changes, but I still would like to see them. They NEVER aired it over in the US, and Dic has been parading out crappy "Educational" garbagy girly shows (and the random, unexplainable Littles Reruns) instead of showing this in any format. I just wish they'd stop trying to make the show more like the crappy movie. It was a mistake and should be forgotten.

There's been some good fanart using the Toy/SNES Dr. Claw character model.
This one's alright: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/...+age_scale%3A5 This one takes a bit of an artistic license, shaving his head and adding a cyborg eye, which I think works better: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/...+age_scale%3A5 |

Yeah... mine was similar to that first one.
BTW... As much as I liked the X-mas special of the old Gadget... I felt the wonky animation and poorly played music just couldn't make it as good as the original. Now, the question is, did someone else have the copywrite for the Gadget theme besides DIC? Other than the 2 crappy live action movies, they made other, lousier sounding themes for other projects.

Hehe. Yeah. That ending was spectacular! I nearly cried my socks off when the credits rolled! Those shots were so perfect and happy. But, what was with that music?!

Because Buena Vista are only now learning what a "DVD Box set" is and are too busy wondering whenever or not to put pilot episodes on the second or third volumes of their older cartoons?
Perhaps it's due to the fact the once great, now complaicent Mainframe are now animating Gadget, but the original series is currently getting a DVD release so it may mean we'll get around to the Gadgetini seasons sooner or later (The UK relesed a five episode DVD of the first Gadgetini season) |
