No it wasn't, it was on par with 80's anime because it was outsourced to a japanese studio like many cartoons that were NOT done by Hanna-Barbera, Filmation or Ruby-Spears

[@canonet17]

I watched it when the show was current in 1983 ( the first season is by far the best one) and the animation from what I remembered was decent. The show went downhill in season 2 when Captain Capeman came along , Cree Summer (Francks) and Frank Welker stopped doing voices.

[@Flip86x]

BEST CARTOON EVAR!!!!

I watched this cartoon on The Family Channel (now Freeform) and Nickelodeon when I was younger, growing up.

0:39 I am such a DiC ! LOL, this is the logo i've been waiting for. Aired 1983-84, then the DiC vortex (silent) logo was aired during late 1984, even though the synthesized music began September 1984, Inspector Gadget used no music for the DIC vortex during that time.

[@manuginobilisbaldspot424]

Man...you ain't gettin' shit Dr. Claw!

I like how the original DiC and LBS logos are at the end of the credits.

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

The original swamp green Vortex (no music) will never be seen again, at least not on DVD.

[@susanfit47]

This is also from when it was repeated on Nickelodeon during its 5 year run 1987-92 and again for an additional 4 more years 1996-2000.

I first saw this on Nickelodeon, then on CBS (during a brief time on Saturday Mornings in the 1991-92 season, with it airing on Nick during the same time), The Family Channel (FAM TV), syndicated TV, Fox Family/ABC Family, and Starz Encore Family.

[@alyssaboyett9182]

When I was a kid, I got to see the DIC logo after I watched the closing credits of Inspector Gadget during the 1983-1984 season. My family and I lived in Sandpoint, Idaho in three years old and then we moved to Cody, Wyoming in the winter of 1984 when I was about one, my youngest brother was about two, but, not even three yet until April and my oldest brother was about four, but, not even five yet until May.

[@susanfit47]

WildBrain (Formerly Cookie Jar Group and DiC Entertainment), and FremantleMedia Nortn America, Inc. (Formerly LBS Communications, Inc.) now co-owned the rights to "Inspector Gadget" in reruns, but the closing logo recreation from season 1 used the custom DIC logo from 1983 and the LBS logo from 1976, and when reruns were shown originally on Nickelodeon from 1987 to 1992 and again from 1996 to 2000, the end logos right after the end credits were shown as a combo.

[@Marbles471]

There are certain constants in DIC programs of that era. Jean Chapolin, Andy Heyward and Tetsuo Katayama are always the producers, Shigeru Akagawa is always among the production coordinators, Marsha Goodman is always the vocal director (though here she's listed as one of the coordinators), Lori Crawford is often the script coordinator (though not here), Haim Saban and Shuki Levy are inevitably the music producers. These names, by sheer repetition, almost become like characters themselves.

[@abloogywoogywoo]

So Quimby sends Gadget on missions to stop Dr. Claw who secretly is Dr. Claw, and tries to kill the bumbling inspector, but fails, and is forced to congratulate Gadget as Chief Quimby again. Enmity at its most elaborate people.

[@Marbles471]

Wow..... Thanks for that link. That's amazing. Funny---I'm not one of those people who thinks that five minutes ago is OLD, and I don't think of 1983 as all that long ago (even though I spent most of it being less than 1 year old), but in terms of computer chatting, it feels like ANCIENT times.

I have the Doctor Claw action figure from 1992 so i know what he looks like. and it's a bit of a disappointment.

[@Marbles471]

It was made for syndication. The giveaway to that is the 65-episode package. That used to be how first-run syndication programming was made--65 half-hours shown on weekdays translates as a 13-week run, shown four times a year. Syndicated kids' shows are a nearly extinct species now--cable basically did them in. (along with network cartoon shows--there is no such animal now. Anything shown on networks' Saturday morning lineups are carryovers from the parent company's cable channels.)

[@jorc76]

pennys computer book is like a ipad with a case.lol i should do a modern inspector gadget intro.loll

[@earlymid90schild]

The Family Channel (before it was ABC Family) also showed it for awhile in the early 90s.

[@BAXANDREW]

One 4 disc DVD was made, Volume form not season, but it may be all we're gonna get. Some classic episodes on them, including the original pilot episode where he had a mustache!

[@MilekCliff]

when i was like 8-9, i would run from school to mine 3 days a week when Gadget was on TV... it was like half a mile but loads of effort for an obese kid. and i liked the opening and closing just as the movie! the best cartoon theme ever! and the one from Heathcliff! ah, good old 90's...

[@fmix10]

This show was THE SHIT back in the day

[@WindowshadeCure]

This version was only used for the first 10 episodes or so. After that they fixed it so that the names were bigger and easier to read.

[@inspectorgadgetarchives]

Correction: The smaller text end credits were only used in the first nine episodes. Starting in "The Ruby", it was replaced by the larger text end credits, which would be used for the rest of the first season. However, the Bohbot copies of some episodes after the first nine episodes use the smaller text credits for some reason.

[@Marbles471]

Nice job restoring what the whole sequence must have looked like! (I'm assuming this is spliced together from other KZbin videos, not directly taped from TV [?])

[@susanfit47]

Cree Summer was known as Cree Summer Francks at the time of the programme

[@Rusty0918B]

Yeah, that's awfully confusing. I do agree that it Dr. Claw's "I'll get you Gadget next time, next time!" is synched with the Chief's lips. I bet it was confusing to many. Heck, when I first saw this back when I was 8, I did kind of thing he was saying it. Oh and furthermore, I was thinking the huge cat meow was actually coming from the Madmobile's cat-shaped engines! Since we hear the meow as the amphibious/airborne vehicle flies by.

[@Phoenixfirex]

I'll Get you Next Time Gadget! Next Time! Yeah, Yeah... You say that Every Time!

[@Marbles471]

That is weird. 65 half-hours usually translates into 13 weeks, not a year.

[@ryanasaurus0077]

@EverEverSaftster That was Claw from the pilot closing. They just forgot to edit the voice out.

[@CelesteK]

Actually Inspector Gadget was syndicated. I remember seeing it on 31 W.U.H.F. which is now christened as Fox Rochester.

[@ErichoTTA]

I heard that someone once spoke to Frank Welker (who voices Dr. Claw) and he said that Dr. Claw is the chief. Then again, there was another animator named Brian LeMay who said that Dr. Claw is the real Inspector Gadget. So which of those is true? Well, the former was said by someone who couldn't verify their story, but the latter is from an official interview, so I'm guessing the latter is more likely. Of course, who says creators can't have different theories?

[@Mesterius1]

Brian Lemay was a character designer on the first season of the show, not an animator. And the whole "Dr. Claw is the real Inspector Gadget" is just a theory he posted for fun on his personal website many years ago. It has nothing to do with the original intent of the series. Remember, Lemay didn't do any development or writing on the Inspector Gadget series. He was hired to design secondary characters (such as the M.A.D. agents appearing in every episode) and props. The rumor about Frank Welker saying that Dr Claw is the Chief sounds like utter and complete nonsense.

[@susanfit47]

Growing up, I always prefered the Cree Summer and Holly Berger episodes of this.

[@kresblain]

...After which they repeat 3 more times that season.

[@Copper20]

[@jonathanthesawnerd4411]

Monkey Mutant Boss In one episode, Gadget actually said "my job will never be done, until I have Dr Claw behind bars!"

[@WillWill45]

There's a incredit mention of Nelvana, one of it's logos should be in the credits.

[@Booyaa728]

This vido is so cool man

[@StevieGreig1]

Well Everyone has their own opinion but I sorta Agree with you. Dr.Claw would look good with a Mustache.

[@leothewhiteranger]

"in a cosmo from FOP like voice" Good times, goood times

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

I wonder how long the customed DiC logo was used? It seems like they replaced it with the standard "Vortex" logo around November 1983.

[@howdoayebreathe]

It was actually American, Japanese and French

[@comgeek24]

Was Inspector Gadget exclusive to cable? Or did it air on one of the big three networks? I was spoiled with cable cartoons so i never saw much of the cartoons on CBS, ABC or NBC.

[@ksb78]

[@Mallory16]

Does anyone actually know the order the episodes were produced? I can't help but think they didn't air exactly in the order produced, since after "Race to the Finish," there are still a few other episodes sprinkled throughout (to "Photo Safari") that use this version of the credits instead of the readable version, including every episode with a scene in the closing sequence. I can't help but think, regardless of airdate order, that the "tiny credits" episodes were probably the first ones made.

[@Xavier64893]

That was before the live action version with Matthew Broderick.

[@Marbles471]

Sorry to be ignorant, but what's a BBS board? Was that a very early internet chatroom? I didn't know there were any that far back.

[@Flip86x]

@DOOMVSHALO Gadget did help save the day by being careless. He would cause a chain reaction that would foil the M.A.D agents plans.

[@wisp2007]

They probably had an incredit Nelvana logo like the others.

[@2TCHOLMES]

0:35 But you never do.

[@rarityunknown]

Clearly, you must find a way to watch some Inspecter Gadget episodes.

[@Marbles471]

I can't imagine what they were smoking when they made the credits font THAT tiny. It's absolutlely impossible to read. It's almost like a joke. Apparantly they came to their senses midway through and made them bigger later, but I would REALLY like to know what they were thinking when they first did it.
