Description

Show: Inspector Gadget
Episode: 8
Year: 1983

Writer(s): N/A


"Dr. Claw planning to sabotage law enforcement convention. Suspect he's in Dracula's castle. Your mission is to get Claw before he gets the convention. This message will self-destruct."


Inspector Gadget has become synonymous with the great bumbling crime fighters of the 20th Century alongside the likes of Inspector Clousteau of Pink Panther Fame. For the most part, the show was very formulaic: "Gadget is assigned to stop Dr. Claws latest plan, Penny follows him because he's a moron, he mistakes Brain for a MAD agent and Penny end up making him look like he stopped the crime". However there are a few episodes of the series that do try some different things and stand out from the usual formula, Haunted Castle being one of the best examples.


In this episode, Gadget is actually remarkably 1/2 way competent, what do I mean by this: he's still a bumbler somewhat, that will never change, however he manages to pull off some very impressive feats here that help remind the viewer that he CAN be a great hero on his own if the situation calls for it. As a matter of fact he saved Penny and Brain from plummeting to certain death in the Gadgetmobile, and his gadgets were malfunctioning as they always do, but he saved them all by himself! Granted he falls for very obvious MAD traps on his way to Count Dracula's castle, but for the most part he really is "on duty" here. He's not just wandering around falling into death traps like he usually is, he's doing his JOB! THAT'S impressive! He also manages to help Penny overcome her fear of ghosts, something that actually keeps her from being fully useful here, which really allows Gadget to shine. He manages to save her TWICE and gets his gadgets to work right when they're caught in a blazing inferno! On a side note this episode is pretty funny. This is a must-see for any fans of Dic or Inspector Gadget.
