Inch High Private Eye was a popular animated television show that premiered on NBC in 1973. The show was created by Joe Ruby and Ken Spears, who were also responsible for many other popular animated TV shows during the 1970s, including Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!. The premise of Inch High Private Eye was fairly simple: the show focused on the adventures of a private detective named Inch High and his team of assistants. Inch High was a very small detective, standing only one inch tall. Despite his diminutive size, he was a skilled detective and was always eager to solve a new case. His assistants included his niece Lori, her dog Braveheart, and their pilot Gator.

The show was notable for its high level of humor, as well as its subtle nods to classic film noir and detective movies. The writers took inspiration from classic films like The Maltese Falcon and The Big Sleep, and referenced them in clever ways throughout the series. This gave the show a more mature tone than many other children's cartoons of the time, which made it popular with both kids and adults.

One of the standout features of the show was its voice acting. The main character of Inch High was voiced by Jamie Farr, who was best known for his role as Maxwell Klinger in M*A*S*H. Farr brought a lot of energy and humor to the role, and his enthusiasm helped to make Inch High a memorable and beloved character.

In addition to Farr, the show featured a number of other talented voice actors. Kathy Gori voiced Lori, Inch's niece, and brought a lot of charm and spunk to the character. Ted Knight, who was known for his role in The Mary Tyler Moore Show, voiced the villainous Mr. Finkerton, who was always getting in the way of Inch's investigations.

The show's animation was also noteworthy. The artists behind Inch High Private Eye used a relatively rare technique called "limited animation," which involved creating detailed characters and settings, but animating them with a minimum number of frames. This gave the show a distinctive look that helped it to stand out from other cartoons of the time.

Despite its popularity, Inch High Private Eye was only on the air for one season, with a total of 13 episodes. However, it remains a beloved cult classic to this day, and has inspired a number of other shows and movies over the years. It is ed for its clever writing, charming characters, and unique animation style, and continues to be enjoyed by fans of all ages.

Inch High Private Eye is a series that ran for 1 seasons (13 episodes) between September 8, 1973 and on NBC
