Inspector Gadget (1983 TV series)
Inspector Gadget was a cartoon series from the 1980s about a bumbling detective, Inspector Gadget, and his fight to stop the evil organization MAD, led by Dr. Claw.
Inspector Gadget was a cyborg; he had various "gadgets" built into his anatomy, including binoculars, a laser, rocket-powered roller skates, and extensible arms and legs. He could activate each gadget by saying the phrase, "Go-go gadget arms!" (for example). The gadgets would often malfunction in humorous ways.
Each episode, Dr. Claw was foiled not by Inspector Gadget, but by his young niece Penny and her dog Brain. Inspector Gadget invariably got credit for solving the crime, and everyone believed that he had in fact stopped Dr. Claw single-handedly.
Dr. Claw was never shown, save for his arm and the back of his chair. He had a cat, Mad Cat. At the end of every episode, Dr. Claw would escape, and yell, "I'll get you next time, Gadget! Next time!"
In 1999, Matthew Broderick starred in a live-action movie, also called Inspector Gadget, based on the cartoon series.
In 2003, French Stewart starred in the Inspector Gadget, straight to DVD sequel, Inspector Gadget 2
