"Inspector Gadget" (1983) More at IMDbPro »

• The English version had a new version of the series theme, using the same melody, as well as instrumental versions of Sophie's theme and Fino's theme, while keeping the rest of the musical cues intact.

• In 1985 when the show was going for its second season, the show was changed somewhat. The opening's sound was redubbed and the color process was changed to a brighter tint. The cartoon's sound was also changed. The animation was done by the same new people who animated and recorded for the Heathcliff cartoons. Also Inspector Gadget was given a geeky assistant, Corporal Capeman who appeared off and on and was removed for half the season. The episodes also went in parts of three. Each three was about Gadget and sometimes Capeman dealing with the same M.A.D Agent throwing diffrent traps at them, whether in space, back in time, or right in their very own home.
  
  
• The pilot episode featured an opening different than the one used in the regular series episodes: Inspector Gadget's siren entered from the left of the screen instead of the right and the buildings had a different look, Gadget had a mustache, different sounds were used in various places, scenes from the pilot were intercut with traditional scenes from the opening, and the title letters fell on a green screen rather than the traditional orange. Completely different end credits were used too: Inspector Gadget performing various heroic and bumbling acts.
