Inspector Gadget



The name says it all. Hidden within Gadget's getup were all sorts of helpful, voice-activated gizmos -- helicopters, spring shoes, binoculars -- if only he could use them properly. I'm inclined to give Inspector Gadget a low rating, but he gets bonus points if you throw in his niece Penny, who's even nerdier and more technically proficient than he is.
