I just realized that darkwing duck has a lot in common with inspector gadget
Both are obvlious to things around them darkwing because if his ego and gadget clueless
Both have daughters who are smart (I know it said for gadget being her uncle she might as well be his adpoted daughter
Both girls want to help their dads darkwing does try to explain about the dangerous bit to Gos Both series have sinster villains like claw/ negaduck and Taras Bulba (steerminator) he proebly one of the most ruthless villains on the show hinting that he murdered Gos family and has no qulems about killing her
Both dad both love their daughter/neice

There are some similarities, but not so much that I feel it's too significant. Sure, Gadget and Darkwing are both clueless and have an ego, but the difference is that the ego is much more inflated in DW. His superheroing was founded near totally on feeding his ego, to the point that he's threatened by other crime fighters, and it make him incapable of listening to others. I don't sense that inflation in Gadget, even though an ego is present. The only time he seems threatened by something is when it was going to out and out replace him. Otherwise, Gadget liked working with others.
I argue even more against the comparison of Gosalyn and Penny. Sure, they are both intelligent young ladies who assist their father figure in solving crimes, but with Gosalyn, seven times out of ten, she's causing the problem. Her insistance that DW acknowledge her help also contrasts hard with Penny's quietly standing in the background. Thus, Penny comes off as more humble than Gosalyn, with more concern on outcome than attention or credit. Truthfully, I find Honker to be more similar to Penny.
Now, I won't argue that their aren't similarities, I just don't think they are that strong. I love both shows, but for different reasons.

The only big similarity I see between the two shows is, Negaduck and Robo Gadget. Both despise their opposites, and their both f'ing crazy! Come to think of it, they would be awesome as a team! That is...if they weren't trying to kill each other first!!
