Nickelodeon, CBS, and The Family Channel (FamTV) aired Inspector Gadget in the 1990's, while the series was still airing reruns on local stations of Fox, independent channels, & the big 3 network affiliates (NBC, ABC, and CBS) at the same time.
Inspector Gadget was an American-Canadian co-production produced for the syndicated market that was a stable around North America in the 1980s and 1990s.
I would like to talk about the syndication history of Inspector Gadget: After the show aired its last episode on November 13, 1985, it remained well in syndicated reruns until well into the 1990s and the early 2000s. Even as the series continued its local run, beginning on October 1, 1987, while the show was rerunning on local stations and Independent channels at the same time, Nickelodeon began rebroadcast Inspector Gadget reruns, where it gained exposure and became popular. In my opinion that Inspector Gadget was a replacement for Danger Mouse was very interesting because those are 2 of the only acquired Nickelodeon shows to leave and then come back. According to LBS cable strategy LBS Entertainment has taken Inspector Gadget out of syndication and is “resting it on cable,” according to the company's president, Paul Siegel. Nickelodeon has the series exclusively for one year, then nonexclusively for a second.The first Nick run (1987-92) was even more of Nick memories for me than Danger Mouse, Count Duckula, Special Delivery, You Can’t Do That on TV, Mr. Wizard’s World, Out of Control, the B&W Dennis the Menace, Belle and Sebastian, The Adventures of the Little Prince, Star Trek: The Animated Series, Lassie, Flipper, The Mysterious Cities of Gold, The Monkees, Spartakus and the Sun Beneath the Sea, the original Double Dare, Super Sloppy Double Dare, Rated K: For Kids, By Kids, Sixteen Cinema, Adventures of the Little Koala, Maple Town, Sharon, Lois & Bram’s Elephant Show, Noozles, Dr. Snuggles, Kids’ Court, Don’t Just Sit There!, Heathcliff and the Catillac Cats, Nickelodeon’s Total Panic, Think Fast, The Patty Duke Show, Make the Grade, Hey Dude, Eureeka’s Castle, SK8TV, Nick’s Most Wanted: Yogi Bear, Cartoon Kablooey, Welcome Freshmen, Fifteen, Get the Picture, The Littl’ Bits, Mork & Mindy, Adventures of Superman, F Troop, Rocky & Bullwinkle and Underdog. The channel also aired the Inspector Gadget's Gadgets Galore marathon, Super Spy Marathon in 1990 and Mega-Toon Monday marathon in 1992 respectively. During this time in the early 90's, it was the #1 Kid's show on syndicated TV, and a proven winner on Nickelodeon's #2 rated show. They did a similar thing when they first acquired Inspector Gadget, coincidentally, around the same time the original Nicktoons premiered. Nick ran a few promos more or less stating (or at least hinting in a less-than-subtle way) that Gadget was the 4th Nicktoon and "their" property. In 1991, Nickelodeon did a trading card promotion with Capri-Sun, Nicktoons trading cards the channel released featuring all 3 of the then Nicktoons Doug, The Ren & Stimpy Show, Rugrats, the live-action children's show Eureeka's Castle...and Gadget. Inspector Gadget was one of the featured shows (the only-non-Nick property featured on those cards). On November 2 of that year, while airing on Nickelodeon at the same time before the end of its run, those same episodes of Inspector Gadget had a limited network run, it was played on CBS with a brief presence on Saturday afternoons at 12:00pm on their Saturday morning "CBS Kid TV" block late in the day as a mid-season replacement program filler for CBS Storybreak repeats, during the 1991-1992 TV season, where they had alongside with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Muppet Babies, Mother Goose & Grimm, Garfield and Friends, Back to the Future, Where's Waldo? and Riders in the Sky at the time. The show consisted of only reruns, the same reruns that originally aired in syndication, so that could have been why Burger King chose to feature it in its kid's meals. Sometimes for the episodes that had been preempted by Saturday sports events or syndicated programming. It still they plugged away in syndication and on cable. A spanish dubbed version aired on Univision's Chispavision block from March 2, 1992 to January 24, 1993 when it was removed from the lineup. On April 23, 1992, during its Nickelodeon run, the long-running show was now then-syndicated with new characters stripped into old episodes. On August 29, 1992, it was removed from CBS' Saturday morning schedule for almost 1 year. Eventually about the time 2 days later on August 31, 1992, it ended its first run Nickelodeon run when they removed it on their schedule, after almost 5 years. 1 day later, after Nickelodeon stopped airing the series, on September 1, 1992, it was then moved to The Family Channel airs the show on the FamTV lineup for a 3-year run, along with ProStars, The Littles, Wish Kid, The New Archies, Archie & Friends Featuring Maxie's World, Captain N, The Flintstone Kids, all 3 Mario cartoons (The Super Mario Brothers Super Show!, The Adventures of Super Mario Brothers 3 and Super Mario World), The Littles, Popeye, Augie Doggie and Friends, Hey Vern, It's Ernest!, Madeline, Heathcliff, Babar, Starcom, Super Dave: Daredevil for Fire, the DIC-distributed Filmation Archie cartoon, The Legend of Prince Valiant, and Popeye & Son. While airing on The Family Channel at the same time, the show was repackaged for syndication on local stations in September of that year after DIC ended their 9 year partnership with LBS and teamed up with Bohbot Entertainment for 2 years. Comprising reruns of the decade-old 65 half-hour episodes of season 1. The episodes were time-compressed definitely seen to have been done directly for Bohbot’s new syndicated package of the show. They also added the episode title of an episode to the start in Dom Casual all-caps font (usually in white or red). Bohbot didn’t distributed the final 21 episodes for season 2 as they already had a full package with the 1st 65. DIC had just redone the syndicated/broadcast package of eps. 1-65 of this show. Only 65 episodes out of the 86 episodes were acquired by Bohbot. They added the superimposed titles in Dom Casual font, that was the case. It also matches because the sped-up music masters with episode title have the Bohbot logo in the end on the U.S. DVDs from the 2000s -- and Bohbot took over the U.S. distribution of Inspector Gadget in 1992. Since the 65-episode syndication package performed well enough on stations already airing the show, acquiring the later episodes were deemed unnecessary. At one point, DIC was going to go full on a Inspector Gadget remake. The Christmas special, the Super NES, an action figure line by Tiger Toys a Dr. Claw figure packaged so anyone can buy it to see what has face had looked like. It was like they were just short of actually developing and pitched a new animated series, along with reruns of the 86 previous episodes of both 2 seasons, but they backed out and made some lame merchandising tie-in show instead. Inspector Gadget was quite popular though so it remained on TV in various syndicated TV markets for pretty much the entire duration of the 1990's, when it left syndication on September 16, 1994 after 11 years (11 seasons), 2 seasons syndicated by Bohbot, and 8 years of reruns. In September 29, 1995, it was removed from FamTV. The show returned to Nickelodeon when it started its 2nd run on November 4, 1996, for 4 more years and 3 and a half more years, where its was on Nick in the Afternoon where Stick Stickly spin around on the wheel to pick the show that had aired. Then it was on Nick's syndication package on its main block. The 2nd Nick run was even more of Nick memories for me than Wild & Crazy Kids, Family Double Dare, Clarissa Explains It All, Salute Your Shorts, Doug, Rugrats, Ren & Stimpy, Rocko’s Modern Life, Weinerville, The Wubbulous World of Dr. Seuss, Hey Arnold!, Nick News, Aaahh!!! Real Monsters, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, The Adventures of Pete & Pete, Ship to Shore, Space Cases, Land of the Lost (90’s), Kenan & Kel, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Beetlejuice, Muppet Babies, Looney Tunes, Tiny Toon Adventures, The Adventures of Tintin, The Angry Beavers, The Mystery Files of Shelby Woo, Figure It Out, My Brother and Me, The Journey of Allen Strange, The Secret World of Alex Mack, You’re On Nickelodeon, Charlie Brown!, The Wonder Years, Catdog, The Brady Bunch, You’re On!, Oh Yeah Cartoons!, The Wild Thornberrys, Cousin Skeeter, Animorphs, The Brothers Flub, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, and 100 Deeds for Eddie McDowd. Interestingly, finally after Nickelodeon stopped airing Gadget again taken off the schedule for good, ending its 2nd run on the channel on April 29, 2000, a year after finishing the theatrical showing of the promote the Matthew Broderick live-action adaptation based on this show. Gadget was a Nickelodeon staple in the 80's, 90's, and the beginning of the 2000's. It's hard to say if Nickelodeon keeping the show available for so long, kept Inspector Gadget's star up. But it seems the franchise was even bigger in the 1990's than it was in the 1980's. But at this time the show hadn't aired on Nickelodeon for a few years. Interestingly enough, went back to the Family Channel, which by that point had become the Fox Family Channel (later ABC Family) and ran there from September 4 to December 14 in 2001 (though by the time Gadget returned to that channel, it was mere months away from becoming ABC Family). However, that would not be the last time the character was seen on Nickelodeon; almost two years later, the revival film Inspector Gadget's Last Case was aired on Nick on October 13, 2002. Inspector Gadget was seen on This TV as part of the This Is For Kids block from September 27, 2010 to Sepember 23, 2011 and again from October 1, 2012 to October 31, 2013, for 3 years. It was also reran on Starz Encore Family (2016- 2020) and Qubo. Internationally, it aired on various TV stations and remaining in syndication into 2000. Inspector Gadget was seen on Qubo from August 31, 2019 until the channel's shutdown on February 28, 2021. As of early 2022, Inspector Gadget can be streamed on the Paramount+ streaming service as well as on The Roku Channel.
The only Inspector gadget I watched was the second movie I didn’t watch the first one. I didn’t even know inspector gadget came out in the early 80s though.
