Inspector Gadget, a bumbling detective, needs lots of help and luck to solve cases assigned by short-tempered Chief Quimby. That help comes from his young, but smart-beyond-her-years niece, Penny, and faithful dog, Brain, who has a human IQ. The trio relies on high-tech items -- i.e. Penny's watch links to a video communicator in Brain's collar -- and other tools to elude trouble from Dr. Claw of MAD. Despite Gadget's shortcomings, he manages to solve each case. Don Adams -- who played Maxwell Smart in the 1960s series "Get Smart" -- voices Gadget.

4/5
Gadget's array of bionic tools and stretchy limbs will capture kids' imaginations, and it's just plain fun to see how he gets out of the many scrapes in which he finds himself. Go to Full Review Elizabeth Rayne Syfy Wire 02/08/2019
Whether it's his expando-arms and legs and neck, the things he randomly pulls out of his inflatable coat and everything he can turn his finger into, Gadget made every quirky kid out there believe they could be an unconventional hero. Go to Full Review David Cornelius DVDTalk.com 02/08/2019
Through grown-up eyes, I see something else entirely: sloppy storytelling; broad, obnoxious, unfunny jokes; cheap animation; and a repetitiveness to every story that reveals a lack of imagination. Go to Full Review Kyle Watson IGN Movies 02/08/2019
8/10
While the show's writing was never very strong, the physical comedy holds up nicely and there's still plenty of laughs left in the series after all the years. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
