The Inspector Gadget entry is rather fairer than most examples on this page in that the police are mostly absent as investigators rather than muscle. Gadget is generally sent to investigate odd but non-criminal activities, and the police get called once there's evidence a crime is in fact being committed, which tends to take most of the episode. They're even sometimes critical in getting the gang arrested (cardboard prison and that this tends to be when Gadget is the last to know about the crime aside).
