In terms of comparing Merlin to something...
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.

The Inspector himself is oddly endearing in his childlike obliviousness. But the theme song is a total brain worm. *headdesk*

Fortunately I've never watched Jeeves and Wooster and am completely immune to the evil of that connection. *g*

But hee! Jeeves and Wooster is amusing, though.

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

>.< I'm really glad that I almost can't remember it. BUT NOW THE THEME SONG COMES BACK! x.x

...the parallels just draw themselves, really :D

I'd like to say that Arthur is less oblivious, but it would be a lie.

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 ;)

Sorry? Did you say something?

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
