Inspector Gadget

The American-French-Canadian co-production Inspector Gadget is doubtlessly one of the best and most charming animated series ever to be broadcast on international TV screens. For 86 episodes between 1983 and 1985 we were allowed to participate in the clumsy bionic inspector’s goofy adventures, in which he (unknowingly) always needed the secret assistance of his young niece Penny. Sadly the 1999 live-action movie starring Matthew Broderick in the title role couldn’t live up to those standards at all and turned out to be a major bomb. Nudity Report: Luckily Inspector Gadget himself never got naked – there are things even the most faithful skinster doesn’t need to see. Instead Marilyn Lightstone, an actress involved in the synchronising process of the series, was able to score one skinful credit by revealing her left tit during a sex-scene in the 1978 drama In Praise of Older Women.
