A wrong statement

[edit]

"This show alters the premise of the character slightly, as he seems to be permanently an inch high (he is fired due to his short stature and endures constant jokes from other characters because of it), whereas in the original series his potion frequently wore off at inopportune moments to humorous effect."

This is wrong. Inch High was always at the same height, he didn't need to take any special potion to make him smaller. Since I'm watching an episode right now, I know I'm right. Maybe the one who wrote this is mistaking this for some other show?--Mégara (Мегъра) - D. Mavrov 00:49, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Once again, I have to ask everybody to stop adding such wrong information. Apparently, one of the sites in "External links" made a blooper and gave wrong information about the show. It still runs here (though every night at 02:00 AM local time) on Boomerang and, as I said before, no such potion is part of the show's story. --Mégara (Мегъра) - D. G.

Also, this very site claims Lori is Inch High's niece; however, in the one Gold Key-issued comic book they appear in, she is thrilled when he asks for her ring finger, thinking he is proposing to her (he's really putting a tiny handcuff and shackle on it). --The_Iconoclast (talk) 23:42, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Euphemism and Feminism

[edit]

Did no one catch that 'Inch High, Private Eye' is roughly equivalent to 'one inch dick'? ('dick' being a slang term for a 'private investigator'). Combined with obvious feminist overtones (Inch is short and can't do much alone; he requires the help of his female niece. The "muscle" is described as "her boyfriend", not the other way around.), I can't believe no one has noticed or commented on this yet. Perhaps someone can find some references?
