Inspector Gadget began in 1983 as a DIC animated series, which has since spawned a multimedia franchise.
The story concerns the titular cybernetic police inspector, a bumbling but kindhearted hero who is sent on various globetrotting missions by Chief Quimby to thwart the machinations of the villainous organization MAD and its megalomaniacal leader Doctor Claw. Joining him on his adventures are his brilliant kid-detective niece Penny and his highly-intelligent, long-suffering dog, Brain.
