Having been recruited by an elite international peacekeeping group called the World Organization of Mega Powers (WOMP), Inspector Gadget is now Lieutenant Gadget, and fights crime with a pair of mechanical assistants called Gadgetinis, who are small robot versions of the Inspector created by his niece, 12-year-old Penny (due to Brain retiring from active duty).
Seasons
Season 1
Colonel Nozzaire (pronounced Nosehair according to the Colonel) is captured by aliens who think that he is Gadget. They do tests to see if he is Gadget, which he fails. Gadget tries to find him, but when he finds the aliens, he doesn't realize who they are. When the aliens trick Gadget onto boarding their ship, when find out they have a deal with Dr. Claw where they'll exchange Gadget for the moon. One of Claw's agents tells them that Gadget is really dangerous, so the aliens put a device on Gadget that will reverse his brain waves. Thinking that he is really smart, but acting stupid, they put it on him. Gadget ends up being really smart and saves the day by stopping Claw and telling the aliens that no one owns the moon, so they can live there if they want.
Season 2
At the Young Inventors Expo, Penny unveils her latest invention (the Gadgetinis were her entry the previous year) a DNA tracker which can find anyone. Her friend Shawn shows off his invention an invisibility spray and is abducted by MAD Agents since Dr. Claw thinks the sprayer could be useful. While Gadget and the Gadgetinis are stumbling around, Penny finds Shawn but gets herself trapped in the MAD lab. So, the two young geniuses have work together to escape.

This was honestly a breathe of fresh air in the context of my Inspector Gadget binge, but I think i liked it overall? There’s this new character named Nozzaire that's introduced (who has the most exaggerated french accent i have ever heard in a children's show) and the entire joke is that his name "Nozzaire" sounds like "noise hair" and that is the entire joke, it wasn't funny for the first episode and it was current not funny for the last. I honestly feel bad for Nozzaire because Gadget gets called for all the missions and is the only one who realizes that Gadget is a complete moron. And seeing Gadget unknowingly torture Nozzaire isn't funny because he didn't do anything to deserve it and they keep having to one-up themselves on the torture meter for every episode. I also feel bad for Figit and Digit, Penny just makes them do all the work while she doesn't want to get her hands dirty and that just makes her really unlikable. Yeah, I don't know what else to say, it's just the most standard and forgettable cartoon that you could of released at the time and it's kinda sad that this is one of the best pieces of Inspector Gadget media. Could of been better, but could have been worse.
Also why was the intro so lazy?
Edit: Now that really think about it and seeing all the other shows that I also rated 6/10s, It really sticks out like a sore thumb and there's not a lot holding me back from lowering the score from a 6 to a 5. Sorry
