Gadget Boy

Gadget Boy (Also known as Gadget Boy and Heather and known as Gadget Boy's Adventures in History for its second season) is a French-American animated television series co-produced by DIC Entertainment and France Animation. It is a spin-off to Inspector Gadget and features a young boy who with his secret agent nanny Heather and robotic dog G-9, save the world from the villainess, Spydra.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Despite being a spin-off, the show is just a rehash of Inspector Gadget, with the characters and concept being based on that.
 * 2) Countless and visable animation errors, even for DIC standards.
 * 3) Bad lip-syncing, as many times when characters speak, their lips don't move at all or don't move to the speech well (mostly since it was first shown in France).
 * 4) Don Adams' voice for Gadget Boy sounds way too much like an adolescent and doesn't sound like a child.
 * 5) Unfunny and childish humor.
 * 6) The second season was only created to fulfill FCC E/I requirements and it shows.
 * 7) False Advertising: In the posters, VHS and DVD covers, Gadget Boy is shown to have bare hands, but in the actual show, he wears gloves.

Good Qualities

 * 1) Decent animation.
 * 2) Good and catchy theme song.
 * 3) Good voice acting from the likes of Don Adams, Maurice LaMarche, and Tara Strong.
 * 4) The French version is a bit better, with a more fitting voice for Gadget Boy and better lip-syncing.
 * 5) There are some likable characters, such as Agent Heather.
 * 6) Spydra is an entertaining and sympathetic villain, although not as good as Dr. Claw.

Trivia

 * Tara Strong, who does the voice of Agent Heather, would go on to voice Penny in the 2015 CGI Inspector Gadget cartoon.
