Teletoon Canada plans to air ‘Inspector Gadget’ reboot

TORONTO – Go-Go-Gadget reboot.

Teletoon Canada says it plans to air a new CGI version of the 1980s Canadian children’s animated series “Inspector Gadget” from DHX Media (TSX:DHX).

The show features a bumbling cyborg detective who launches bionic gadgets in his body with the command “Go-Go-Gadget.”

Teletoon Canada says the new incarnation, which doesn’t have a premiere date yet, will also include original characters Dr. Claw, Brain the dog, and sidekick Penny.

The speciality channel has also announced plans to air the new original series “Pirate Express” in the fall of 2014.

That series follows 12-year-old Newt, the son of Poseidon, as he leads pirates on bizarre voyages.

Teletoon Canada has also renewed the series “Rocket Monkeys,” “Endangered Species,” “Total Drama” and “Johnny Test.”
