The Inspector

1966 – 1969 34 cartoons

A second spin-off from the Pink Panther series of films, The Inspector is based on the Peter Sellers' characterization of the (Chief) Inspector Jacques Clouseau. But rather than being grossly incompetent, this Inspector is just prone to moments of bad judgment.
