The Inspector



Here's an episode of The Inspector, a cartoon loosely based on Inspector Clousseau. This particular episode, "Les Miserobots," entertained Cade and I this afternoon while Kerri and Savannah napped. Here's the description from Wikipedia of this 1968 classic:

The Inspector is fired after being replaced by a very efficient police robot, so he tries to destroy it. After the Inspector's many backfired attempts, the robot does such a good job that the Commissioner ends up losing his job and joining the Inspector in a skid-row soup kitchen.

I love the theme music, "A Shot in the Dark" by Henry Mancini. Mancini also did the music for The Pink Panther cartoon series. I also love that the Inspector and the Commissioner end up workin at "Le Skid Row Soup Kitchen" in the end.

Cade thought all the parts with the robot were hilarious.
