Inspector Gadget enters the Film Noir Zone
Can you imagine how great this would be, if made into a film? Dr Claw would fit in quite nicely, but you would probably have to change the other characters a lot more. Make it serious. Make it dark. Keep it animated, but animate it in black and white. Take the annoying characters and make them likable. Get rid of the lecture they always give at the end of the show, but make subtle in jokes about it. The smoking joke is set up right here.

Would they ever allow it?

Hey Alan,
I googled “film noir” and joke and found your Inspector Gadget sketch/idea. I like it. Anyway I’m former English major and an aspiring stand-up comedian, so I like the topic of conversation…
I’ll try to check out your blog more when I’m not at work…
Enjoy your day.

Oh the topic. Well I make no promises to stay on topic. I’ve decided this is my outlet for writing what I want. But hopefully I’ll still write something you enjoy. But I’m not going to try
Good luck with the stand-up.

I would gladly pay for a movie ticket to see Gadget, Private Eye. Could even play on the name, turn it to Gadgett, an inspector who just happens to double as an inventor and uses his creations to help him solve and fight crime.
Man. I would love for this to be a reality.
