In terms of comparing Merlin to something...

[marguerite_26]

My 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.

I loved Inspector Gadget when I was a child, and the intro song! It got stuck in my brain and still hasn't left it. But Inspector Gadget as Arthur? ... NOOOO O_o

Inspector Gadget is soooo annoying and yet the theme song and something about the Inspector always captivated my attention when my daughter watched it thus establishing it as the devil back in the day.

That and Caillou because OMG the whining!

Hahaha, oh man, this is like when I couldn't unsee the Merlin + Arthur = Jeeves + Wooster connection (largely cause of things like this (http://s3.amazonaws.com/data.tumblr.com/tumblr_lefg2xNDD41qziulwo1_r1_1280.png?AWSAccessKeyId=0RYTHV9YYQ4W5Q3HQMG2&Expires=1294324352&Signature=fXO%2By8iscaCx96LP44fR%2FrJxRcU%3D)). My sympathies, bb <3

*Holds you!* Can't be the same, Arthur is hot! It's more Jeeves and Wooster ;-)

Ahaha. I used to love Inspector Gadget. :D

We have a 'no tv' rule in the mornings. It's hard enough to get them out the door without the tv on. D:

Sending you a large dose of brain bleach, before you go and watch the film and have Matthew Broderick imprinted on your eyelids, too.

I used to watch that cartoon. And now have the song stuck in my head.

Heehee, I love that cartoon! :D
I hope I don't start seeing it, too, though...

Oh. The theme is now stuck in my head... >:|

LOLIRL. This is the best post ever.

And now the theme's in my head forever.

Hubby and I are fond of saying "go go gadget arm" when reaching for something. Because we are twelve.

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