This is so true! And lets not forget the episode "MAD Trap" (one of my fav episodes) where he actually started to "connecting the dots" by looking up on the map of each location of a clue of each crime and trying to figure out on what is the "connection" between them. however Penny finishes it buy painting a copy of the map at her art class and finds out where the MAD agent is going to be next....
if Gadget didn't bring out the map when penny was there, she might've will have a hard time (or finding out another way) by "connecting the dots" to solve the crime. I think Gadget would of figured it out himself(if he was 'ever' givin the damn opportunity, to freaking SHINE for once!!!!), but 'nooooo' we can't do that! We have to stick to formula and have Penny solve fucking everything! Cause Gadget, is 'suppose' to be too much of a damn 'retard'.. ..to figure THIS SHIT OUT!!!!! Freaking really!!!!! Meanwhile, the man's got allllll kinds diplomas, awards, trophies, tough man competition plaques!!!... and crap like that...ALLLLLLLL OVER HIS HOUSE!!!... I guess it's just for show!!… Yeah whatever! I know the feel. The times that I wished that those two were caught in the entire series so they could be busted. Unfortunately this IS an 80's cartoon and on that time character development was not that important until now, you only had the hero, a side character and a comic relief character, in most cartoons on that time except probably anime and probably cartoons around the 90's. If DiC actually was smart enough to work on a third season with a little bit dark tone and some better character development then it would have been a dream come true, but nope, instead they decided to waste their time turning Gadget as a kid. Not to mention another series they worked on based on a video-game about a blue pesky hedgehog where my favorite villain feels more like a RIP OFF of Dr. Claw and the hedgehog's girlfriend is a RIP OFF of Penny (yes, I'm talking about SatAM Sonic the Hedgehog). Oh well… @butterflyblew86 yes, "The Haunted Castle"! That's also another great episode where he shines as well. And let's not forget the pilot episode either.

Yeah, I do agree with the darker tone, it would've gave Gadget more reasons to "shine" and also more of a background story to each character. I mean, we see it in the first season where Gadget at one time in his life became very successful, but afterwords he reads a book upside down until Penny catches him doing it. you would've think the writers would've just shine a bit of light on Gadget's past and maybe flashbacks of his memory where he thought he lost. you know? but I personally think DiC really did lost the opportunity on a really good story.
And I also agree with you about character development was not that important until now. After years of research behind the scenes of this series, it seems like the writers didn't bother with character development because they were a lot of them that had different ideas (I guess some of them didn't agree with each other) and sadly, they were rushed by writing from episode to episode on a tight time period. *sigh* well, it was the 80's and it was a different time before a lot of technology took over.
yeah, just to be honest, they should've worked on the revival of IG instead of Gadget Boy, only because the original IG was still poplar at the time thanks to Nickelodeon and the former Family Channel.

Yes, I know he had his moments(they happen to be my favorite episodes because of that reason), I just wish he had more! Obviously he was more than capable. But it is what it is unfortunately. That's why we have fan fictions, and rps! But yeah, the pilot episode was really good! But they seemed to give it a complete 180 turn around, with everything that happened there after! I feel like if maybe they dropped the ball with it, so to speak. Damn shame really!

I feel like if maybe they dropped the ball with it, so to speak. Damn shame really! yeah I do agree, the pilot seems to be best since Gadget was more competent than other episodes. I wish they didn't change things around, but they were close on getting sued only because of the "mustache". I personally think they should've never "lower more of his IQ" after they took his mustache off. if you guys agree. but it is what it is...
that's one of the reasons why I love reading fanfictions and rps. everybody has their own story about our favorite charterers and some write about Gadget being a little bit more competent than he really is.

I think he tried to a couple of times, but it always seemed to backfire in someway. But yeah! It would be pretty funny! Especially if he was like, "Here's your assignment Gadget! Read it, memorize it! And whatever you do, 'don't' give it back to me!..Or your fired!!" Knowing Gadget, he would just shrug his shoulders and say, "O-kay Chief whatever you say!" Then reads the note and tosses it over his shoulder, only for it to find one of the many unseen cameras, that Claw seems to just have 'everywhere'! Have it somehow magically 'enter' the camera lens(ahhh cartoon magic at it's finest here!), and to pop out of Dr. Claw's computer terminal, only to land in his lap! Heh!... That would be kinda funny actually!

Cat suddenly jumps in his lap and tries to play with it * M.A.D. Cat-*swatting at the rolled up ball w/ his or her(I always saw him as a male), claws out* ".. ..'meow!!'..." Dr. Claw-*starts freaking out as he tries to grab him* "WHAT THE 'HELL' ARE YOU DOING M.A.D. CAT??!!!.. NONO..DON'T TOU-!!..*BOOM*…" *gets blown up, chair half broken as it's falling apart, M.A.D. Cat tumbles to the floor * ".. ..GRRRRRRR!!!!!! I HATE YOU GADGEEEEETTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!! "

(Btw, Madcat is a male in the original series. ) Damn it! I thought he was! That crap in the 2015 series made me almost question it! Why the hell would they change it??..Unless the M.A.D. Cat in the 2015 series isn't the same one. And is a descendant...actually that makes a lot of sense now, if I think about it. If the 2015 series was suppose to be a continuation from the '83' series, then that M.A.D. Cat, would be long dead by now! Damn I just depressed myself!!

yeah, that's another questionable issue behind this franchise that could be perfect for another post.
however I look at 2015 as another "Gadget" universe. lol!

Tho I've always thought MAD cat was a lady. XDDD Those lashes that rival Gadget's own. On the 2015 topic a sec I would have doed laughing of in the GET SMARTS episode when his intelligence was sucked out. Instead of a tiny blip or was for some reason able to over load the machine. Rest of the episode Gadget's like "Shit, they're on to me now."
