Thrilled to have Inspector Gadget available
When my son was a boy, he watched Inspector Gadget all the time. I had been waiting for these to come out on DVD, and it seems like the Inspector Gadget movies with Matthew Broderick were popular enough to warrant these original cartoons, with Gadget voiced by Don Adams (Get Smart), being released.This made a great Christmas present for my son, despite the fact that he is in his 20's now. A little bit of nostalgia is a wonderful thing.

Good for those who've seen it all
I remember watching Inspector Gadget when I was a kid. I remember I liked OK. My kids watch DVDs in the car because we have a longer than usual commute to school and home each day. They've seen everything so we were up for giving Inspector Gadget a try. They like it. They are glued to the screen and interested to keep watching as many episodes as time allows. Occasionally, Inspector Gadget turns to the kids viewing and tells them some sort of "safety tip" like not to touch a hot stove, etc. It's a bit quirky.As a mom, I think it's alright. Inspector Gadget reminds me of Get Smart. The overall tone of the show is unoffensive. I don't recall the bad guy being as nasty as he is. Dr. Claw was a vague memory to me from way back when I saw the show myself. But now that I am the mom, I dislike a lot of the things Dr. Claw says and does. Obviously -- he is the bad guy for a reason. But this isn't what I want my kids to take into their storybook icons. Still, it isn't so annoying that I "lose" the DVD. The kids don't seem to notice the subtleties of Dr. Claw's evil doings.We'll keep it in our library but will not seek any other versions. I am not sure if this is the only DVD.

At least it's something
It's a shame that Shout Factory didn't sell enough copies of their first and only chronological collection of Inspector Gadget. This was probably the best cartoon of the 80s, and I was looking forward to owning the original run of episodes. After waiting 3 and a half years for more, Fox finally released this new single disc. The episodes are random, out of order selections, and like the other reviewers have said, I want sets that are in order. Still, getting this release is better than nothing. It's 10 episodes that were previously unavailable, and for that I'm thankful. Hopefully this time around it sells enough to merit more releases, preferably with more episodes next time.

I miss Inspector Gadget!
This was one of my fav's as a child of the 80's. Arrived packaged nicely, and have zero complaints. It's nice to have around the house when you want to put a smile on your face. How I miss awesome cartoons! My 12 year old loves it too!

Good DVD but picture quality from the 80's
Overall the episodes were fun but the picture quality was not improved from the 80's at all.We are in 2013 so I would have thought that they would be able to make some improvements.
