When I saw it in entirety on TV in 1994, the animated series been picked up back by the completion of the 1985s series. It was something like a refreshing change of the pretty formulaic tone the Season 1 that was co-producing with five countries have to offering. In this, it's mostly DiC trying to be itself. One may assume that the sound-effects or characters voices (Are they due to contractual issues?) had regressed when this season came out, but in some places, it was an improvement to the more polished Season 1's episodes all around.
By be producing first in 1983 with the America, France, Taiwan, Canada and Japan, the sixty-five syndicated firsts episodes have most of time very robotic, sluggish and rigid animation styles with characters been animated on a very uneven way. The production was so dysfuctional that it's easy to step all the differences figuring episode by episode. The kinds of adventures like Movie Set, King Wrong or Down On the Farm are certainly the worsts of the bunch, while the most sub-standard episodes producing with least saturated color palettes are definitely the bests we got. Generally unsatisfying of the results from the most older season (Not to mention the 1982s half-hour that have started it with such name like Gadget in Winterland or The TV Pilot, but its official name is Winter Olympics), DiC decide to re-beginning from scratch the Gadget's journey with much bigger control and notably, a more satisfying effort to do the job correctly. Such as if Season 1 and 2 came up from different metaverses!
One of the key differences, aside of Capman, is the random selection of one-shot MAD agents been extended onto three consecutive episodes, by giving us a sense of continuity that the first season didn't. Dr. Claw been more and more annoyed of his defeats and the MAD agents' incompetence and cowardice. Gadget is now obligated to gaining such control on his missions by the presence of Capman, which it make a comedic duo that works... well, finely. Penny's clothes been also something revolutionnary for 1985-- as you see her now with many vests that never appeared in the most poilshed Season 1 shows and also, the animation delivered a sense of fast-paced chase that was a rarity in 1985s Kids Television, while the animation quality of them been a real pain to watch. It went and works on directions that the occasional Season 1 episodes didn't although one suspect the presence of familiar DiC properties in Gadget's home rooms like some of the junkyard cats characters from the Heatchliff's cartoon segment that was at that time on production.
By 1985, Gadget's "new" home is all filled with technology and gizmos that never went in existence in the most older 1983s episodes. It is something that went keeped for a much longer extending existence like DiC's attempts to revived the franchise back with Gadget and the Gadgetinis in 2002... few times before it been purchased along with the now ill-defunct animation studio Cinar by formed a property union named Cookie Jar. Today, we known this by WildBrain by be the official owner of such loved kids properties like Teletubbies, Strawberry Shortcake or Caillou.
Is all these complains related to the Season 2's episodes over the years are justified? To me, it's another mistep of the way haters getting control of the Internet since it ever came out, by ignoring that the Gadget's comeback in another season was a risqué, but necessary challenge. Finally, it results with DiC been typically DiC but it improved in directions and its writing by became a little more dark or dramatic without it went too gore or ugly. It's a season that works despite all these planning change that trying to make Season 1's efforts like an distant history. After the whole season (and original series) ended, Inspector Gadget never going a chance to make his return adequately, and for that matter, the two Disney live-action movies were exactly the reason why no one longer wanna mention its name again. The last time we've fully covered with a new series of the bumbling detective is in 2015, by a CGI animated series, but everything felt so cheap and lazy (No mention seen Penny beginning to become also stupid like her uncle) that it don't justify that the only thing that went work with that is the Dr. Claw's mother and his nephew Talon.
Just make sure that there will have no more Inspector Gadget reboots in the future. It's a concept that sucks anytime a new version been featuring. Better to stick with the original two seasons show.
