A CGI Inspector Gadget cartoon animated by DHX Media.Some time after the original series (presumably), Dr. Claw tried to launch a stink missile at HQ, but was accidentally frozen in the Antarctic by Gadget. Without Claw to worry about, Gadget went into retirement, while Penny and Brain became open junior investigators for HQ. However, Dr. Claw had a nephew named Talon, who re-awoke Dr. Claw, retrieved his lost claw, and began rebuilding the MAD organization with Claw's "guidance". With MAD's threat very real again, Gadget comes out of retirement at the chief's request. Now partnered with Penny and Brain on a regular basis, it's up to Gadget and his partners to stop MAD wherever they might strike, no matter how dangerous, or petty, it might be.Each episode now consists of two 11-minute shorts per episode which takes up both slots.The show first premiered in 2015 on Boomerang in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America and on Teletoon in Canada. It is exclusive to Netflix in the United States. It ran for 4 seasons and a total of 52 episodes. | |

Age Lift | |
Inspector Gadget (2015) / int_121b3725 | comment |
Age Lift: Though not the first incarnation to do so,note Penny was previously a teenager in the animated DTV movie, "Inspector Gadget's Biggest Caper Ever", Penny is now a teenager. Professor Von Slickstein actually debuted in the original Inspector Gadget cartoon's episode "The Amazon". There, he had a hunched back, balding hair, a white mustache, and a cane. For some reason, he appears much younger in this 2015 series, although this professor might just be a relative of the other. | |

Always Someone Better | |
Inspector Gadget (2015) / int_19d1c1ae | comment |
Always Someone Better: Gadget's Russian counterpart, Comrade Multi-Use Tool, is a subversion. He's better than Gadget, but thinks Gadget is better than him because he mistakes Gadget's idiocy and gadget malfunctions for brilliant tactics. For Dr. Claw, there's his unseen rival Baron von Steeltoe. Most mentions of him tend be about a successful scheme he just pulled off flawlessly and/or lording his success over Claw. | |

Welcome Back, Traitor: Professor Von Slickstein has defected to MAD in a few episodes and is accepted back into the ranks of HQ without a word being said. In "Parched Nemesis" he (and Kayla, who did the same thing) tries to play it off as having been a Fake Defector, but no one seems to care either way. | |

I Want Grandkids | |
Inspector Gadget (2015) / int_23cc7485 | comment |
I Want Grandkids: Dr. Claw's "turn everyone in the world into babies" plan in "The Fountain of Cortez" kicks off because of his (circa late '80s) memory of Mama Claw pestering him for grandchildren. In the era of the show proper, she does have one grandchild, but certainly would like more. | |

Inspector Gadget (2015) / int_25a7dcb9 | comment |
Suggestive Collision: "Growing Like MAD" has about as suggestive a collision as a TV-Y show could plausibly get away with — after being knocked from behind by a vine, Talon winds up flung face down on top of Penny with his lower half between her legs. Both are mortified, and Talon chuckles nervously, says "let's never speak of this again," and jumps up to resume the fight. | |

Mythology Gag | |
Inspector Gadget (2015) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: The new opening contains some scenes from the original cartoon's intro, such as Gadget handcuffing a fake Dr. Claw arm and finding a bomb in the seat, with the explosion causing him to become the "I" in the show's title. The Gadget Copter bears some resemblance to its appearance in the live-action Disney films. In the premiere episode "Gadget 2.0", it is revealed that Dr. Claw has been frozen since Gadget went into retirement and he is also seen wearing a mitten over his hand instead of his traditional metal claw glove. This is a reference to his brother Dr. Thaw from Gadget and the Gadgetinis, who also wore mittens and ended up frozen. Gadget and the Gadgetinis also featured a nephew of Claw who was Ship Teased with Penny. Unlike with Talon, though, Penny's dynamic with William lacked Foe Romance Subtext, since he wasn't a villain himself. Penny's pajamas are just grown-up versions of her outfit from the original series. In one episode, it's mentioned that Gadget was a magician in college known as "the great Gadgetini". Penny's digital scrapbook shows the globetrotting Gadget visiting many exotic locales, including a shot of him at the Great Wall of China, that looks a lot like stills from the opening credit roll of Inspector Gadget's Field Trip. In one episode where the characters go back in time, Dr. Claw is shown to have the MAD uniforms from the original show. A Russian agent is shown to have a computer book, which Penny mentions having used one for years. Talon's first plan in "A Clawruption" is to set off the volcano using bombs hidden in pineapples, which was also the scheme of the "Volcano Island" episode in the original series. | |

Suicidal "Gotcha!": In "A Clawruption," after trying and failing to talk Talon out of his mission, Penny suddenly jumps from the helicopter. Talon is horrified and rushes to the door after her screaming her name... and then he sees the parachute deploy. He immediately reverts to his smug persona and claims he'd known about it all along. | |

Hidden Depths: Penny seems to believe this of Talon. In "Tiny Talon Time", Penny tells Kayla that while "super-cute", Talon is still evil. She quickly amends her statement by adding, "Mostly." Considering there are a number of occasions where Talon actively saves her life, and Penny's knowledge of Talon's Hilariously Abusive Childhood, she may be hoping for a Love Redeems situation. | |

Borrowed Catchphrase: Talon borrows both Gadget's and Claw's catchphrases in "The Gadgetor". He does the first on purpose when Penny mocks him by pointing out he's talking like her uncle, and when she knocks his goo gun out of his hand he uses the latter. He actually goes nuts when Penny points out he's now talking like his own uncle. | |

Villainous Rescue | |
Inspector Gadget (2015) / int_446c5792 | comment |
Villainous Rescue: Though he's quite willing to put her in harm's way himself, certain occasions have prompted Talon to save Penny. In "MAD Carpet Ride" she loses her balance on top of a rapidly turning blimp and he stops her from falling to her death... though he does so by catching her ankles with a rope and tying the other end to a beam, leaving her hanging safely but embarrassingly upside-down. In "Frienemy of the State" Mal has her weapon trained on Penny and is about to capture her before Talon jumps in and disables Mal, with a quip about being The Only One Allowed to Defeat Penny. Less dramatically, he also talked Madthew out of tossing her off a building in "Towering Towers". | |

Inspector Gadget (2015) / int_46e53efd | comment |
Screams Like a Little Girl: The shark in "Game Over, Man!", apparently. Several henchmen are like this as well. In later episodes, such as "Were Brain of London", more of these screams happen, and strangely, it's Talon who's making these crazy screams. | |

Harmless Freezing: Getting turned into a Human Popsicle is harmless but for some shivering afterward. In the first episode Dr. Claw and MADcat suffer only minor temporary effects after having been frozen in an iceberg for years. The trope makes repeated appearances throughout the series (and could be seen in the original cartoon as well). | |

Friend-or-Idol Decision: In "Ice, Ice Yeti", Penny has to choose between disabling Dr. Claw's icecap-melting heat machine (and in the process, free the yeti Talon captured to power said machine), or capturing Talon to receive good marks at HQ for detaining the enemy. She naturally chooses the former. | |

Long-Runner Tech Marches On: Penny's computer book has been replaced with a tablet akin to an iPad that materializes in front of her. She can also summon up goggles with Stat-O-Vision, infrared, etc. Chief Quimby's exploding messages are now given in on small devices that play recorded messages instead of pieces of paper that explode when Gadget finishes reading them. Brain's collar now offers quick transformations in addition to communication with Penny. Gadget's old coat and Gadgetmobile appear in the first episode, but are replaced with newer versions (the latter disintegrating into dust because it was so badly rusted). | |

Affably Evil: Talon seems to genuinely enjoy running into Penny, despite being shown to be perfectly willing to kill her during the course of his duties. Virtually all of their encounters have involved banter (occasionally bordering on flirting!) and one of his immediate questions when Gadget is spotted is, "Is Penny there too?" It should be pointed out that while Talon is willing to use lethal force against Penny, when her life is in actual danger and she's helpless to save herself, Talon rushes to save her. | |

Friendly Enemy: In some episodes Penny and Talon bear each other no personal animosity and can be quite chatty and cordial until duty demands they start fighting. Penny and Mal agree to be "frienemies" at the end of "Evil U" after Mal finds out that her best evil buddy was in fact good all along. This relationship is somewhat strained in "Frienemy of the State" though. | |

Hilariously Abusive Childhood: Talon is often the target of Claw's displeasure. Claw's mother even scolds him for how he treats Talon-for not being harsh enough. The episode "A Clawruption" subverts this, as it shows Talon going along with Dr. Claw's plan (despite his own neck being on the line) because he's so desperate for Claw's love and/or affection. Penny actually feels bad for him and tries to get him to call it off, but he goes through with it anyway. | |

Took a Level in Dumbass | |
Inspector Gadget (2015) / int_6a4f3cf7 | comment |
Took a Level in Dumbass: Relative to the 80's version, Chief Quimby is stupider. In the first episode, he mistakenly tries to open the door to HQ by using the wrong magnetic cards, and even a cracker. Truth in Television: Nowadays, people tend to have a lot of loyalty cards scattered through their wallets for stores, restaurants, AAA membership, etc. Including ones that are useless due to the chain going out of business, or moving to where the chain doesn't have a location, etc. So Quimby confusing his cards isn't technically impossible; besides, he now wears glasses, so it's possible age has taken a toll as well. Gadget is somehow even dumber here than before. At one point, he is chained to a pike with middle ages style warriors around, and comes to the conclusion he's at a party and fire is just what the party needs, and lights up his own pike Dr. Claw is significantly less intelligent and cunning than the 80's version, sometimes borderlining on plain goofy. One episode sees Claw mention a plan to plant a giant Jack O'Lantern for a plot and Talon trying to correct him that you have to grow a pumpkin and then carve it instead. Claw scoffed at the idea and replied "Next you're going to tell me that you can't grow mashed potatoes!" | |

Denser and Wackier | |
Inspector Gadget (2015) / int_8a07e085 | comment |
Denser and Wackier: Compared to the original show, this one is a lot more fast-paced, the slapstick is more frequent, and there are more jokes. Dr. Claw, while still the mysterious and gravelly-voiced villain, has become a lot more comedic and at times comes across as almost a parody of his old self (very much like in Gadget and the Gadgetinis), although it could be attributed to that he's much older now. As an example in the original, Dr. Claw once crushed a *diamond* with one hand, terrifying M.A.D.Kat and his henchmen, and on numerous occasions, it's clear his henchmen are terrified of him. The 2015 Claw is...not quite as terrifying. At least not without resorting to laser fire. | |

Not So Above It All | |
Inspector Gadget (2015) / int_96b89043 | comment |
Not So Above It All: This show's Penny is far more flawed than past incarnations. For example, if Talon's involved, chances are she'll drop everything to go after him, leaving Brain to watch over Gadget. This sometimes leads to her getting in over her head. As an example, she once infiltrated a MAD training seminar and wasn't able to resist taking Talon on when he asked for volunteers to demonstrate self defense. Unluckily for her, while he couldn't see through her disguise, Talon recognises the way she moves and fights. Penny also acts more like a typical teenager around her friend Kayla and even Talon herself. She and Talon joke about Dr. Claw during "Sucks like MAD", and seem like they genuinely enjoy the conversation. | |

Evil Counterpart: Dr. Claw's nephew Talon appears to be this to Penny, as well as a Spear Counterpart, as he is Dr. Claw's nephew and Penny is Gadget's niece, and both are very intelligent for their age. An example of how evenly matched they are can be seen in the episode where Talon is sent to take over a super airship. He uses a machine to seize control of the ship and sets up a firewall preventing Penny from hacking it, but she then uses the Gadgetmobile as a ram and knocks the machine clean off the ship. Talon then uses another machine to drag the ship towards a MAD base, and Penny is on the verge of giving up when she realises there's nothing stopping her from using the Gadgetmobile again. | |

Save the Villain | |
Inspector Gadget (2015) / int_ac560dc4 | comment |
Save the Villain: Being the good guy, Penny will save Talon if he's in dire need. This almost always means saving him from a threat he himself created. In "Operation Hocus Pocus" she swoops in on a rope to swing him to safety after he's been cornered by a rolling boulder o' doom. As they're swinging, the art shifts and they smile at each other, apparently both caught up in the Rescue Romance aspect. In "Mr. Security" she repeatedly tries to save him from the rogue AI turned Knight Templar Mr. Security. Clarifying that she wants him to live behind bars, she helps him out from a pit Mr. Security threw him into, and tries to talk the AI out of killing him by suggesting he has good qualities. In "The Walking Head Cold" she knocks away a mucus-zombie that was about to attack him. | |

Why Don't You Just Shoot Him? | |
Inspector Gadget (2015) / int_bce16d24 | comment |
Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: In the episode "Towering Towers", MAD construction worker Madthew suggests throwing a newly captured Penny off the side of the skyscraper they were on. Talon profusely objects to this, before trying to cover himself up by making a Bond Villain Stupidity excuse. Of course, Penny scrambles off the first chance she gets. This scenario is ironic, given it's usually Talon who likes to poke holes through his uncle's way of going about things as opposed to being more practical. | |

Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal | |
Inspector Gadget (2015) / int_bce728ca | comment |
Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal: Detective Data was once HQ's youngest Junior Agent to be made into a full Agent. To her misfortune, she was partnered with the Cloudcuckoolander Inspector Gadget, who not only neglected taking her seriously, but ended up always taking the credit for anything she may have actually accomplished on their missions (just like with Penny, who actively gives Gadget the props regardless of his involvement in the given caper). It was like this for ten years, and to say she wasn't pleased would be an understatement. It's why she no longer works with partners on missions (it's in her contract) and why she currently works for MAD. On the few occasions she sees how Claw treats Talon, Penny can't help wondering why he hasn't pulled this off yet. | |

Bad Is Good and Good Is Bad: The bad guys are all absurdly silly Card Carrying Villains who demonstrate these reverse principles all the time, particularly when their larger organizations are given a look. Showing up late is for class at the Academy of Evil is worth extra credit, the trust-building exercises are passed by not catching the teammate's fall, Claw's mother criticizes him for obeying traffic laws rather than driving like a lunatic and so forth. At the end of "Evil U," Penny is able to twist this "logic" into a justification for how she and Mal can still be friends despite having opposed morals. | |

Relationship Labeling Problems: Penny has this with her mortal enemy Talon (who is Doctor Claw's nephew to boot). They're clearly attracted to each other, virtually everyone who sees them interact can see it, but both are also extremely loyal to their sides. In an episode where she and Talon are spying on Gadget and a MAD agent on a date (while engaging in date-like activities themselves while doing it), when the Chief contacts her and asks "what's your status?" she sheepishly responds, "It's complicated?" | |

Shout-Out | |
Inspector Gadget (2015) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: In "Appy Days" Brain's businessman disguise is based on Bill Lumbergh from Office Space. When Gadget visits a space station, one of the astronauts has an acoustic guitar and seems to be modeled after Chris Hadfield (which he acknowledged on his Tumblr.) "My Gadget Will Go On" has several references to popular ship disaster movies, such as Titanic (1997) and The Poseidon Adventure. In "Dog Show Days Are Over", we get this exchange: From "A Claw for Talon": In "Gadget Management", Brain has several run-ins with the glowering emu from Untalkative Bunny, who is apparently now working for MAD. The episode "Back to the MAD Future" features a car that must go at 88 miles per hour to work as a Time Machine. The playing-with-dinosaur-dolls opening to "Jurassic Jerk" is straight out of Firefly. Claw makes sure to use the memetic "sudden but inevitable betrayal" line. | |

Lighter and Softer: The original series wasn't especially dark overall, but the humorous parts were almost entirely confined to Gadget's bumbling antics, which served to break up the more serious segments featuring Penny and Claw. Penny was physically helpless and never fared well against MAD agents, who seldom displayed any reluctance to hurt or kill a child, and Claw could head straight into Vile Villain, Saccharine Show at times. Here, everyone contributes to the humor, Penny's encounters with MAD agents are action-adventure romps against an opponent her own age, and Claw is almost as bumbling as Gadget. | |

Dr. Claw is significantly less intelligent and cunning than the 80's version, sometimes borderlining on plain goofy.

Claw scoffed at the idea and replied "Next you're going to tell me that you can't grow mashed potatoes!" | |

In "Tiny Talon Time", it's revealed that Penny's friend Kayla and Professor Von Slickstein totally ship them, especially when the two engage in a fight. Chief Quimby's response is a weary sigh and a reminder to Penny that she still needs to stop Talon. | |

Inspector Gadget (2015) / int_dca6a9d | comment |
Start My Own: Talon in a few episodes has expressed the ambition to leave Claw and start his own MAD empire. It's the main motive behind his plot in "The Heir Affair". | |

Unsportsmanlike Gloating | |
Inspector Gadget (2015) / int_df1cb219 | comment |
Unsportsmanlike Gloating: Penny in "Picnic Pests" is quite a sore winner who doesn't even check to see if her opponents are uninjured before starting to gloat over them. Kayla calls her out on her behavior, and Talon, when he sees it, can't resist joining in the competition just to show her up (he is, of course, just as bad). Although she is able to prioritize the larger objective over the insignificant competition, the fact that at the end of the episode she's recounting with nearly sadistic glee the exact injuries Talon will be in pain from after having "beaten" her makes it somewhat unclear whether she actually learned a lesson. | |

Ambiguously Gay: Dr. Slickstein has a questionable sexuality- while changing Gadget in a super-costume machine, Slickstein accidentally gets Gadget into a thong. He specializes in technological fashion, and at one point goes through a Sailor Moon-esque Transformation Sequence, complete with ballet twirl. | |

Morality Pet: In "Back to the MAD Future", Dr. Claw's past self mistakenly believes MADcat was killed at an explosion caused by one of his devices and he decides to become a good guy, creating a timeline where he's Da Chief. Unfortunately, MADcat survives and uses the plans the previous timeline's Claw sent back in time to become such a terrifying villain in the new timeline Gadget and Penny have to go back in time again and restore the status quo. | |

Inspector Gadget (2015) / int_e466ae41 | comment |
Family-Friendly Firearms: Talon and most other MAD agents carry around a purple gun that fires large globs of extremely sticky gum. (It's literal gum -- characters sometimes comment on its flavor.) Though often brandished threateningly, it's never shown to have direct lethal utility, and is used only to detain or delay. | |

Distracted by the Sexy | |
Inspector Gadget (2015) / int_f10d3363 | comment |
Distracted by the Sexy: Talon gets like this at times when Penny is around. On one occasion, he has weapons trained on her and gets distracted by how cute she looks while she's desperately using her holotech to disrupt his control. On several occasions, he gets so caught up in taking Penny on that he doesn't notice her (or Inspector Gadget himself) actually foil MAD's plan. Penny also gets like this at times, but she normally doesn't allow it to interfere with her mission. That said, in "We Heart Gadget" she spends quite a bit of time, staring at Talon with a lovestruck look on her face. Talon actually feels embarrassed when he notices. Even Gadget gets in on the act, as he is charmed by a MAD agent in "We Heart Gadget". | |

Love Makes You Dumb | |
Inspector Gadget (2015) / int_f7883b17 | comment |
Love Makes You Dumb: Seeing Talon sometimes leaves Penny temporarily dumbstruck. Penny has the same effect on Talon, to the point he sometimes changes or abandons plans in order to meet with her. And then try to kill her, but perhaps that's just his way of showing affection. It's especially notable because Talon generally spends his time pointing out obvious flaws in Dr. Claw's plans. | |

Inspector Gadget (2015) / int_fc9b6be5 | comment |
Foe Romance Subtext: Oodles of it between Penny and Talon. At times, their banter borders on flirtation. It is so obvious between them that "Tiny Talon Time" reveals that Penny's co-workers actively ship them In-Universe, and in "Tool Russia With Love", a Russian agent outwardly wonders if the reason Talon hasn't been caught is because of Penny's attraction to him. They even go on a Not a Date in "We Heart Gadget", and seem to genuinely enjoy each other's company. | |

Inspector Gadget (2015) / int_fe64d5a1 | comment |
Evil Is Petty: While some things MAD does is nefarious and criminal, like trying to take over all the TV waves of the world, sometimes it's something simple like trying to get rid of all dogs as revenge for one dog stealing candy when Dr. Claw was young, or putting all the people of the city into a sugar coma just so Mama Claw can have some peace and quiet. Talon doesn't hesitate to point out just how stupid this can be. In "Double O'Penny", after she thinks she's eliminated Gadget, Penny's evil clone engages in some random chaos around HQ before leaving. | |
