Gadget Boy and Heather

Getting the wrong bad guy, not really understanding that they're there to work - it's the exact same storyline to Inspector Gadget, but set a few years earlier. As with Inspector Gadget, I practically wanted the bad guys to win.



My favourite part of the show, however, is Tara Strong as Heather, but I'm probably biased as I am a Tara Strong fan. Heather was no where as annoying as Penny was. G9 was quite funny as well, better than Brain was, at any rate.



I was also impressed by the bad guys. I thought Boris was hilarious, and was always curious as to what was actually underneath Spidra's mask - as with Claw, it's a shame that we weren't shown what they actually looked like in the last episode.

This show is just basically a spin off of Inspector Gadget. I mean, it is not all bad, but the stories are just mildly intersting and the enemies are fairly passable.



For me though it just does not cut the mustard so to speak as far as the stories, the animation and humour etc. The worst thing is that CN show it for 4 hours a night back to back and it gets a bit much. It had me reaching for the remote control to change it as quickly as possible. A complete waste of my time watching this and a waste of 25 minutes when I could have been watching something cool.

Wow, this is an...interesting..show. And as Draco says: "Oh my God, it's your son!". What, did I make Gadget Boy or something? I used to watch this when I was a little..err...midget. This show is okay, except the weird graphical glitch things, like the colour-changing eyes or something. It's funny to watch it though. And I'm running out of what else to say...err...don't watch the Gadget Boy's Adventures in History. Unless you really want/need to. No, really, don't. And I'm dry of words. Or whatever. I hate long reviews. It's like PHSE. "Write 300 words minimum on jobs." or something. YES! It's over!!!

Sometimes it sucks, but it's usually okay. Course, it'll always be better than Neighbours! How can anyone watch that? It should be shot down. Anyway, Gadget Boy and Heather it's weird at times, and usually quite unbelieveable, and sometimes everything is just too perfect, but it's cool as it is. Oh, and i'd NEVER EVER want to live there. Beach views and death on every corner!

I remember when I was young, staying up late and catching this show late at night on Toon Disney. I can see an image of gadget boy in my mind, but that's all I really remember from this show. I remember this series being pretty good, and it was worth staying up for. Like the original Inspector Gadget, this series was very original.

As you probably would know from watching "Inspector Gadget" this show is a Spin-off of that show, in which this shows Inspector Gadgets Childhood with his fellow work mates, Agent Heather (likewise to his neice Penny, later on in life) G-9 (The robotic dog who is like Brains later on in his life again), Gabbel the genius who is somehow a complete idiot and Cheif Stromboli or something, who pretty much gets blown up every episode by some means, much like Gadget's employer in "Inspector Gadget"



All these references are quite well and good but they end there and that doesn't save the show from being bad.



Unlike the main villian of Inspector Gadget, Dr Claw, this shows main villian is the evil Spidra, a women who's identity is completely concealed due to her freakish looks that'll turn you to stone, much like Medusa, and of course, she has six arms for the sake of being a spider.

Her identity isn't really a secret, unlike Dr Claw, you pretty much do see her in public, she frequently encounters Gadget Boy, and she only has 2 henchman and a sidekick.

At that, she isn't a very good villian, her henchman are of no use, so often they disguise themselves to capture Gadget Boy or etc, the disguises never work there's never a doubt it's them, but it doesn't matter, since there isn't an ounce of intelligence in Gadget Boy anyway.



And then there's her "Side kick" Boris the Vulture. (A Spider and a Vulture??)

He's pretty much there to be beaten up by Spidra whenever he makes a small comment, he just takes it, and there's pretty much nothing stopping him from leaving.



As I earlier mentioned, Gadget Boy is a complete idiot, and seriously, no common sense.

Inspector Gadget might've been a bit stupid in adult hood and as a child of course Gadget boy isn't gonna be any smarter, but this is TOO MUCH.

As a matter of fact, almost everyone is an idiot, examples?



1. Gadget boy doesn't even get things when they're explained to him, for example, he's told you don't fall upside down in Australia, a mistake I can understand someone making at his age, but he NEVER learns, at all.



2. Gabbel, the guy who makes all the gadgets for Gadgetboy, and infact the creator of Gadgetboy and other "Gabbelventions" dispite being able to make fully functional robots with human intelligence (yet the inability to learn), rockets and lifelike dolls that can be programmed to function identical to their bearer with a download of their mind cannot figure out when someone is impersonating someone.

What do I mean?

In one episode, Spidra for whatever reason impersonates Agent Heather in an attempt to get an ice beam (wth?)



Even when he can clearly see "Agent Heather" has 6 arms and is wearing the same outfit as Spidra he suspects nothing, even when he hears her voice which is clearly Spidra's voice, he suspects nothing.

Even when he gets a phonecall from the real agent heather whilst being driven in a stolen car by the imposter he suspects nothing, complete idiocy is rampent in this show and destroys anything called a "plot".



At that the voices aren't the best, everything is a bit cartoony and out of place, as for the musical theme, it feels nothing like Inspector Gadget, and animation is mediocre, if not acceptable at least.



All in all, this is a show to avoid like the plague, chances are if you see this, it'll be in the UK on Cartoon Network at 2AM for a 3 hour marathon of pure garbage. (As apposed to America's Adult Swim at late night.)



Just leave this show alone, it's bad enough that everyone's an idiot. (Except for the famous people in history at least.)

This here is a spin-off of the famous Inspector Gadget. Only it's not in the same universe as IG.



Don Adams who played IG does the voice of Gadget Boy.



Along with Tara Strong and Maurice LaMarche did a good job with his roles.



This cartoon isn't for everyone due to it being allittle silly sometimes and some animation mistakes as well. But not bad to see every now and then.
