Movie Reviews of Inspector Gadget: The Original Series
Movie Review: The Original Gadget, but on a better DVD this time!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was glad I got this DVD set. It was a big improvement over the cheap Sterling/UAV Gadget DVDs "The Gadget Files" and "Inspector Gadget Saves Christmas." The first 22 episodes are there, including the original pilot, with Gadget's mustache! Like I did with the Sterling DVDs, it's time to give it my "Gadget Factors..."
PROS
The original episodes are there, of course.
There is some cool special features, such as the interview with the show's creators and the original art gallery!
The pilot has its original dialogue (since reruns of this episode had badly-done new voiceovers explaining Gadget's mustache was a fake.) Plus, the pilot episode has its original opening and closing titles, featuring Gadget's mustache throughout them!
CONS
There's some noticable DVNR on some episodes.
And of course, like the other Gadget DVDs, there's the following edits...
EDITS
The title of an episode is electronically added at the start of most episodes during the beginning of the first scene. When these cartoons originally aired, including their Nickelodeon reruns, they had no episode titles! This probably wasn't really needed.
The original DiC logo featuring Inspector Gadget dotting the "i" was cut. It was replaced with the "Incredible World of DiC" logo on most episodes, though a couple of episodes have the famous 1990s "Kid in Bed" DiC logo tacked onto it. This was quite unneccesary. However, the original late-70s/early-80s LBS logo is intact on all episodes, which you might remember if you saw this show on Nickelodeon back in the 90s.
I have been waiting for quite some time ever since I got my "Gadget Files" DVD for a company to release a box set of Gadget episodes, and it's finally happened!
All in all, I wholeheartedly recommend it to those who are big fans of the show, or those who are dying to see this classic cartoon again!
