- The cartoon was based on the 1960s TV show, Get Smart. Don Adams, the voice of Inspector Gadget in the cartoon, also played Maxwell Smart, the lead character in Get Smart.
Really? the cartoon was made in France. -- Tarquin
Don Adams was the voice of Inspector Gadget, and he did play Maxwell Smart as well

- Going by the link in the article, there's this (http://inspector-gadget.net/php/modules/freecontent/index.php?id=4) too -- Jimregan
I'm not saying the guy didn't do the voice. I'm questioning whether the French cartoon series was based on this US show I've never heard of -- Tarquin
- That statement is fixed now (in the non-vandalised version). There are some similarities, but not enough to say Inspector Gadget is based on Get Smart. -- Jimregan
It still reads wrong. It's a french series. Get Smart has nothing to do with it; it's just a coincidence picked up by US viewers. I've fiddled it a bit -- Tarquin 09:29 24 May 2003 (UTC)
- You've never heard of Get Smart? I'll have to jog my memory and write an article :) Plus, your version looks better. (But I'm not a US viewer and I saw a similarity :) -- Jimregan
Don Adams was (is?) an American actor. I'm pretty sure he didn't do the voice for the original French cartoon, just the American dubs. I Looked quickly on Google, but didn't find any info about the French version. -- Merphant
- All I've found so far about "Inspecteur Gadget" is that Pennie was Sophie. No actor names as yet, but my French is pretty rusty... I tried this search (http://www.google.fr/search?hl=fr&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=%2Bnom+de+l%27acteur+%22inspecteur+gadget%22+%2Bt%C3%A9l%C3%A9&btnG=Recherche+Google&meta=), but can't remember how to say "played". -- Jimregan
Animated by which studio in Japan?
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)
"Inspector Gadget had his gadgets installed through an operation after an accident he had where he slid on a banana peel chasing a villain"
...Er, no. This was the set-up for the 1999 movie which was very, very loosely based on the cartoon. Inspector Gadget's "origins" are never explained in the cartoon itself. --Squirminator2k 15:49, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
- I don't remember that either, but I do remember the doctor who did the operation was in a few episodes. Dr. Claw even forced him to make an army of robots once. However, these memories are very fuzzy.--The_stuart 16:44, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
