In my opinion, this show is amazing! I love it! It's quirky and funny and just overall adorable. Also, some other people have addressed their dislike for Talon, and I don't understand why you don't like him. He's great! Well anyway, just wanted to share my opinion. Later! (Btdubs you're doomed)

I personally loved it! I have not seen much of the original series, but I absolutely loved this. A lot of people keep comparing it to the original, an saying it's not as good, but this is a whole different series, not really a squeal. It's bright and fun, and besides a few underwear type comments, perfectly appropriate for all ages. It's not violent at all really, and they don't even shoot bullets, they shoot bubble gum. Which I kinda think is cute.I hear a lot of complaints on the animation, cause it's more 3D and such. But kids love that kind of animation, and i don't mind it. There is a tiny bit of light flirting and romance between Penny and Talon, a bit of a Romeo and Juliet type of thing, but it's not overboard or inappropriate for little ones. Honestly, Penny and Talon's interactions are one of the reasons I like this show so much. Also, some teens and adults like watching it too, so not always just for kids. There is actually a whole fandom online of fans.I loved this show, and would highly recommend it for kids, or anyone who likes a good and cute cartoon, with a bit of goofiness.

THINGS THAT ARE WORSE:They completely changed the theme song and not for the better.Gadget is just not quite the same and he isn't very prominent in the episodes. Plus his gadgets seem to be a great deal more lame than they were in the original.Penny is featured too much and she relies heavily on a hand held computer.Brain seems to be stupid and always angry.Dr. Claw is quite lame and really not that menacing.The chief is always getting blown up and he seems to be rather unnecessary.Penny's friend is hardly ever in the stories and she is just kind of window dressing.The stories are not very interesting.Perhaps much younger kids will enjoy it. I am an adult and my whole family always enjoyed the original cartoon series. None of us really care for this version.

Inspector Gadget was always silly so I can't be mad at the silliness in the new show. The jokes aren't horrible most of the time and Gadget himself is his normal useless brand of crazy. The animation is a nice stylized upgrade. Penny's technology upgrade is great, I wondered how they would work with her old book and this is a nice change. Speaking of Penny, always great to hear Tara Strong at work. Gadget's voice is a great impression of the original. The introduction of Talon struck me as a little off though, he is growing on me but he is like a goofy version of Scott from Austin Powers while Dr. Claw is more like Dr. Evil. I do like how he is competent though giving Penny a challenge. And of course most of the day's problems are solved due to Gadget being basically a creature of chaos with unpredictable actions. So it is far from perfect, the theme is lacking too, but over all there are far worse things out there.
