The second animated series from [[DepatieDePatie-Freleng Enterprises]], and something of a [[Spin-Off]] from [[The Pink Panther]] series, ''The Inspector'' can best be described as what would happen if you turned the [[Mind Screw]] of the ''Pink Panther'' films [[Up to Eleven]], while dialling down the incompetence of its main character. The cartoons feature the titular Inspector attempting to solve surreal crimes in his home country of France, and generally failing miserably. The other main characters are the Inspector's dim-witted Spanish assistant, Deux-Deux, and the Inspector's boss, the Commissioner.
 
There were 34 cartoons produced between 1965 and 1969, making it DF-E's longest running series apart from the animated ''Pink Panther'' shorts. ''The Inspector'' was also the companion series for the ''Pink Panther'' cartoons in ''The Pink Panther Show'' for its first three seasons, after which it was replaced by ''[[The Ant and Thethe Aardvark]]''.

* [[The Bad Guy Wins]]: The Inspector very rarely solves cases successfully, and even when he does, the bad guys still find some way to screw him over.
* [[Beam Me Up, Scotty]]: While the Inspector is undoubtedly inspired by Clouseau, he isn't ''called'' Clouseau. In fact, we never find out what his full name is.
