I don't know why they needed a more retarded INspector Gadget.

fell for the scrappydoo trope. Also they probably though grey toys don't sell

They were in need of someone who could make Gadget look like smarter by comparison.

Executive meddling?

It's weird. I was watching that show as it aired and by my own recollection, that character was in my two episodes.

Maybe I literally tuned out (knob on TV) any time he was on.

it's one of the strangest cases of executive meddling in my opinion, what were they trying to capture here exactly? there wasn't a recent trend they might've been capitlazing on with capeman, he wasn't a smurf-esque or ewok-esque or c-3P0-esque character getting shoehorned in which is what other shows might have shoehorned in around the same time, and he's not adding an additional female or any racial diversity (they already had a kid and an animal with penny and brain). he just makes gadget look smarter without making gadget smarter, and gives gadget someone to talk to when he's doing stuff, when previously he mostly would've only been attempting to talk to the person that brain was disguised as and who would run away from him.

Difference is kids actually liked Scrappy.

Who the fuck is going to buy a toy of this fucking nerd?

To be fair, Gadget needed somebody to talk with who wasn't neither Penny, nor Brian, nor anybody smart enough to ever notice them.

and he also couldn't be somehow who could realize that gadget is mostly incompetent, and having another agent be that stupid would seem weird. i can kinda see how they ended up on this retarded superhero guy when you take all that into account.

He's the reason I haven't watched S2.
Am I missing out? Is it worth enduring him?
