marguerite_26My kids have started to watch Inspector Gadget every morning.
For those that may not know (or remember) the basic premise of each episode is as follows:
With the help of his niece (Penny) and her dog (Brain), Gadget inadvertently saves the day, his nemesis escapes and his boss arrives to congratulate Gadget on a job well done. Gadget is left clueless as to what actually is going on and Penny and Brain's help remains a secret.
Sound familiar Merlin fans?
So... I'm seriously starting to wonder if it is in fact Inspector Gadget and not Superman that JCapps has watched too much of. :/
Needless to say this damn cartoon is endlessly annoying because I can't unsee the comparison and thinking of Arthur as Inspector Gadget is SO DAMN WRONG. *scrubs brain* (er.. that is my brain, not the dog Brain... I think I need more sleep and less cartoons). Hold me.

Date: 2011-01-05 02:59 pm (UTC)I'd like to say that Arthur is less oblivious, but it would be a lie.

Date: 2011-01-05 03:09 pm (UTC)J&W slash is some of my favourite slash in the world. The Wodehouse-ian language is absurd and wonderful and when ficcers get it right it's so, so wonderful. One of the first Merlin fics I read was in the style of a J&W story, and I think it had a lot to do with me falling for this fandom.
...you shouldn't have got me started, haha ;)

One memorable time he actually said "Go go gadget cock". That was interesting. :D
