Talk:Inspector Gadget (1983 TV series)

message: It's been a while since I've seen Inspector Gadget, but the moment I first saw Lupin the Third I was reminded of it.  Were any of the Lupin the Third animators involved in the production of Inspector Gadget? --69.234.183.71 07:28, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  I'm betting the different styles of some of the episodes were most likely due to different directors for each episode. It's like how Bugs Bunny looks different compared to when he is in a Chuck Jones short or a Robert McKimson short. That most likely explains the "squared-off" animation in "Follow that Jet" and the fuller animation in "The Curse of the Pharaoh," "The Coo-Coo Clock Caper" and "Did You Myth Me?" Interestingly, a few of the dull-animation episodes like "Down on the Farm" had more Gadget music cues, while "The Coo-Coo Clock Caper," even though it had better animation, had music similar to episodes like "MAD Trap" or "Art Heist" and had someone else voicing Dr. Claw! --Wile e2005 (talk) 20:52, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Does Don Adams really need to be described as "the late"? In an encyclopedia, noting that a figure has passed away at every mention of their name is unnecessary, so single uses like this one are either inconsistent or set a bad precedent, considering the volume of articles that discuss dead historical figures. A link to their biography should be sufficient. There must be a guideline on this, but I can't find it. Anyone know of anything official, or at least a consensus somewhere? In any case, I'm removing it for now. -- Fru1tbat 16:47, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

message: How about this for an explanation of Dr Claw and Chief Quinby?
Chief Quinby IS DR CLAW--his evil personalty is DR Claw and his good personalty is Chief Quinby. Only he has NO MEMORY OF BEING EITHER.
THIS COULD explain WHY CHIEF Quinby always gets Dr Claw Evil plans:
This could explain WHY DR CLAW IS NEVER CAUGHT by Inspector Gadgett.
HOW did this happen-a combination of things-after having to put up with Inspector Gadgett's natural stupidy for years-the Chiefs mind snapped-like Inspector DREYFUS Mind did with CLOUSEAU. So while his good side is always chasing "EVIL"-his bad side is always to get Gaddget.
:I had thought about something like that when I was young, but had to drop the idea after seeing an episode (don't remember the title) where Dr. Claw had captured chief Quimby. Dr. Claw had allowed chief Quimby to phone to Gadget, while parasiting the communication to lead Gadget into a trap. I don't think it is possible that they both share the same body in any way.

thread_title: Gadget's Anatomy

message: Inspector Gadget has many qualities associated with superheroes, which raises the question: is Inspector Gadget a superhero?
In favor:
*Extraordinary and unique super-human powers (including, notably, the ability to fly).
*A strong moral code and sense of duty (including a willingness to put his life at risk for the service of good and an unwillingness to hurt or kill anyone).
*A distinctive costume which is worn as a uniform when fighting crime.
*A strong motif/theme running through his name, his tools and the names for his tools (ie gadgets).
*An archenemy (ie Dr. Claw).
*A sidekick (ie Corporal Capeman).
Against:
*No secret Identity to protect his loved-ones from becoming targets (interestingly, in Gadget's case, the loved ones are the ones operating covertly/in disguise)
*Costume is not flamboyant (although his sidekick, Corporal Capeman, wears one of the most quintessential and flamboyant superhero costumes imaginable)
In conclusion, Inspector Gadget has almost all the common traits associated with superheroes, and therefore can indeed be considered a superhero, if a slightly unconventional one. Unlike many superheroes, Gadget does not use a secret identity, but neither did the members of the Fantastic Four, all of whom fall strongly into the category of superheroes. Also, despite being highly distinctive, Gadget's costume is very formal, and not at all flamboyant (however, his sidekick's costume does a lot to compensate for this).

replies: text: No, it was removed for being unsourced - your personal memory is uncitable, and even possibly unreliable - what you remember as airing on CBS could have actually been your local CBS station airing the show in syndication. Besides, if we were to start adding in every station or network that ever ran the show all over the world, the article would quickly become unmanageable - as it is, the "Broadcast History" section is overly larhe and (for the most part) completely unsourced as well. Information about its status during its original production period is sufficient. TheRealFennShysa (talk) 17:20, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: [[Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Peter_Hudecki_(2nd_nomination)]]

message: I propose to delete the following 2 sections: "Gadget's Ancestors" and "Other villains and M.A.D. agents".
Both of these sections list non-recurring characters who only appear in single episodes and are not important to the show in general. The "Other villains" section in particular just reads like an episode guide and is not about the show in general.
While there some intereting trivia in these sections, and I appreciate the trouble it took someone to write them, I strongly feel that any trivia that is of particular importance/significance should be moved to another section, where it has some relevance to the show as a whole, in a more general way. In any case, the article should not be listing the events of individual episodes. If nothing else, it clogs up the start of the article.
I think both of these sections should be deleted, and I am going to delete them both in a few weeks' time unless there are any objections?

thread_title:  Request For an add. Detail 

message: Within the first paragraph under the heading Premise of the section Background, is stated: "...with help from his faithful niece Penny, who is a genius..."
This line is an opinion. Stating Penny is a genius in such a manner without verifying this claim is unencyclopedic. Having grown up on this series, I have known the character of Penny to be competent [by comparison to her uncle, Gadget], but not a "genius." On one occasion in the later series in which Penny, Brain, and Gadget reside in the technologically advanced Gadget house, Dr. Claw sends agents to eliminate Gadget. Brain reports the trouble to Penny, buy this only results in Penny nearly getting in trouble [with Mrs./Ms. Blockentackle (spellcheck name)] for not paying attention in class: "Penny, you're not paying attention." This brief scene suggests that Penny is an "average" student in an "average" school classroom; evidence that however intelligent she may be, Penny is not a genius.
The genius claim within the article is only a personal opinion, and dubious at that. I suggest that if a reliable source can not be found to back the claim that Penny is a genius, that the line in question be corrected as appropriate.<BR>

message: In this edit  added Japan to the list of production nations. I'd like to see references that describe this series as a Japanese co-production, which would be the purpose of the nation field. The article describes the animation as having been outsourced to a Japanese company, but that doesn't necessarily warrant a change to the nation of origin. The Simpsons used/uses South Korean animators for years but is not considered an America–Korean production. Numerous Nickelodeon shows were animated by companies in India, New Zealand, etc, but are still consider American series. By contrast, a S1E7 credit indicate it was a DIC production, with FR3 and Nelvana as co-producers. No Japanese company is indicated as a co-producer. So, short story, references needed.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The infobox establishes the series as an action adventure comedy science fiction suspense series. That is quite the mouthful for a children's cartoon. Though I get that each of those labels is sourced, we typically care what the majority of sources consider the series, not what individuals consider the series, even if sourced, and genre salads like this just tend to look ridiculous. Genre should describe the overall shape of the series, not try to spotlight every narrative technique employed in the series. SpongeBob uses dramatic elements in its storytelling, but it is not a drama series. I would argue that the smart thing is to look at a dozen sources and find out where they all agree. My guess is that it'll be somewhere in the "action adventure" or "adventure comedy" area. Note also that while the Template:Infobox television instructions limit genre labels to 4, when this was discussed, some people felt that 2 genres were enough.
Similarly, in the lead we identify the series as a science fiction cartoon series, and we've added article categories to match. If the multitude of sources are describing the series as sci-fi, then I understand why this was added, but if it's just one guy's opinion, we should changes this. John Scott's opinions about sci-fi themes in the series might be valid for inclusion in a section on analysis or critical response, but if science fiction is not the prevailing classification for this series, it should be replaced with what the majority says.

thread_title:  Science fiction and other genres 

message: so, here is what i purpose:
After the pilot, the first 64 22½-minute episodes were written, designed, storyboarded, and voice-recorded in Canada at Nelvana Animation Studio (which co-produced the series under DiC's supervision), with creative supervision by Jean Chalopin. Bruno Bianchi was the Supervising Director. Most of those episodes were animated in Tokyo, Japan by Tokyo Movie Shinsha, while a few episodes were animated in Taiwan by Cuckoo's Nest Studio, before being finished in post production by DiC and Nelvana. The pilot episode, "Winter Olympics" (a.k.a. "Gadget in Wonderland"), was animated by TMS's subsidiary, Telecom Animation Film and had a slightly higher budget than the rest of the episodes. legendary animatior Hayao Miyazaki (who was working at TMS at the time), provided key animation for the pilot. Toei Animation, Sunrise, and Anime International Company contributed some of the animation for this series.
Nelvana was not involved with the show's 21-episode second season, in which pre-production was now moved to DiC's own Los Angeles-based headquarters. The animation and post-production was generally done at K.K. DiC Asia (later Creativity & Development Asia), a Japanese animation house Jean Chalopin co-founded that DiC had some ownership in at the time.
