 * Comment - Hoax? How so? This is a modern French remake (they bought the rights) of the mid-90s Gadget Boy & Heather, which seems to have been particularly popular in France. WP:CRYSTAL maybe (does not air until next month), but I don't think it's a hoax. Stalwart 111  05:13, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
 * One of the voice-actors from the original (Maurice LaMarche) is supposed to be coming back to reprise his role. If it's a hoax, it's a bloody complicated one! I'm not suggesting this shouldn't be deleted (there are zero news-type sources), just querying the nom. Stalwart 111  05:24, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
 * [edit conflict]: I am interested in what is your source stating that they bought rights to do a remake? Google has none (except verbatim reference(s) to the earlier–2012–hoax article); the article has none. See Hoaxes_on_Wikipedia; Gadget Boy (2013 TV series) — Purported 2013 revival of a 1990s Inspector Gadget spinoff; 17 October, 2012 — 15 December 2012; "references to the series on other Inspector Gadget-related articles also went untouched for 2 months."
 * Yeah, no, I don't have one - as I said there are zero sources. And I'm all in favour of deletion nonetheless. Just can't believe someone would put this much effort into a hoax - still can't believe it. But your explaination helps explain it. Bizarre! But in that case...
 * I think it is the old one resurfaced. Anyway, thanks.  GenQuest  "Talk to Me" 05:58, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
