Gadget Boy & Heather
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gadget Boy & Heather (also known as Gadget Boy) is an animated television series from DiC Entertainment. (View Photo)
This series is about when the bumbling bionic detective with a knack for getting into all sorts of hilarious trouble, Inspector Gadget was a little kid whose name is Gadget Boy. Dialogue in the first episode suggested that Gadget Boy is not Inspector Gadget as a kid, but, in fact, a future version where the personality of a "legendary crime-fighter" (i.e., the Inspector) was implanted into a new (probably robotic) host. Instead of Penny, Gadget Boy was assisted this time around by the resourceful Heather, and Brain was replaced with a fully-robotic dog named G-9.
Just as maladroit as he was in his previous incarnation, Gadget Boy was usually bailed out of situations by the more practical Heather, though he was also helped greatly by his myriad high-tech gadgets and extendable arms and legs. In this series, traditional nemesis Dr. Claw was replaced by the villainous villainess Spydra who is accompanied by Boris Vulture and her twin henchmen Mulch and Houmous.
The series debuted in 1995, and two series were produced, the second one complete with a name change to "Gadget Boy's Adventures in History" produced in 1997, and a change in story focus as suggested by the new title. The main title theme song was written and performed by Mike Piccirillo. Musical underscore composers were Mike Piccirillo and Jean-Michel Guirao.
