1* ActorAllusion:
2** Penny is now played by Creator/TaraStrong, who previously played Agent Heather, an {{Expy}} of Penny, in the spinoff series WesternAnimation/GadgetBoyAndHeather.
3*** Also in a bit of a meta-sense. Penny was once played by Creator/CreeSummer. Both Tara and she have worked on a lot of productions together and are friends in real life. So this was a bit of PassingTheTorch in a way.
4** In the episode "Forever MAD", Talon complains about some problems with song lyrics for their fake Broadway show. His voice actor, Creator/LyonSmith, would know a thing or two about having trouble with lyrics, having previously voiced the lead in ''WesternAnimation/GrojBand''.
5* ChannelHop: In Canada, the series aired on Creator/{{Teletoon}} for its first two seasons, but moved to Creator/FamilyChannel starting in the third season.
6* CrossRegionalVoiceActing: The show generally features Toronto-based actors like Creator/LyonSmith, Creator/KatieGriffin, Creator/MartinRoach, and Creator/DerekMcGrath, but the California-based, Toronto-born Creator/TaraStrong voices Penny Gadget here.
7* MythologyGag: A possible one—Gadget's magician name in college was [[WesternAnimation/GadgetAndTheGadgetinis the Great Gadgetini]].
8* RealLifeRelative: In the French dub, Gadget is voiced by Antoine Durand. His father (the late Luc Durand) was also the voice of Gadget in the French dub of the original series.
9* SavedFromDevelopmentHell: There were plans for a ContinuityReboot as far back as 2009.
10* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
11** As mentioned on the [[Trivia/InspectorGadget Trivia page for the original series]], there was going to be a reboot back in 2009, which fell into DevelopmentHell. It was going to be DarkerAndEdgier with a more {{Animesque}} art style and feature Gadget fighting ghosts.
12** Also the show's theme song would have been similar to the original theme. However, [[ScrewedByTheLawyers due to the legal issues, the producers couldn't use the original theme at all]], which is really sad, given that Music/BrentalFloss was going to be the composer. He even explained it in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B236au25Rx4 this video]].
