I was thinking, if I could make the 2015 DHX Inspector Gadget show, I'd make it more like the original series. For starters, the series would be in 2D like the original series. I must admit, the CGI in the DHX series looks a lot better than the CGI in Biggest Caper Ever. It looks more like something from Pixar.

Gadget would be more competent and useful, but still bumbling and clumsy. I hate how they've exaggerated Gadget's stupidty in other Gadget spin-offs. He was useful and competent in the pilot. Also, he had a stache. But I think he looks better bald faced. Don't you?

He would still receive secret help from Penny and Brain. After all, what's Inspector Gadget without that?

Claw would be just as faceless, dark, menacing, and sinister as he was in the original series (probably more to raise suspense).

There will be no talking Gadgetmobile! I'm as sick of that as much as you are! Another thing worth noting is that I would have Capeman, but it'll just show how much I hate him. I hate him as much as you guys do.

I'd cast Maurice LaMarche as Inspector Gadget/Lt. Gadget and the Chief, Frank Welker as Dr. Claw, Brain, and MAD Cat, and Cree Summer as Penny.

How would you reboot the series?

i don't have anything against CGI and i don't think the new show looks that bad. the textures and environments could have used more polish though. personally i feel that a cartoon character like inspector gadget needs full benefit of the unlimited range of motion that 2D offers to be his best.

clean shaven gadget but has a mustache when disguised/in flashbacks

doctor claw as an actual threat

original gadgetmobile goddammit. if it makes one peep i'm sending it to the scrap yard to be recycled in a car crusher

penny as a young kid, no love interest

jim carrey as capeman

"How would you reboot the series?"
short answer: i'd keep it focused on gadget & penny's cute uncle and niece relationship and global crime/terrorism plots. good balance of humor and suspense. expand on the concepts presented in the original series. etc.
