History Trivia / InchHighPrivateEye

* RetroactiveRecognition: Creator/JamieFarr did several voices in the show, right about the time he was gaining fame as Cpl. Maxwell Klinger on ''Series/{{MASH}}''.

* FollowTheLeader: The idea of a tiny detective was previously seen in 1966 on ''Tom Of T.H.U.M.B.'', a segment of Videocraft's ''King Kong'' cartoon series. Although, in that show, the character was a secret agent who started out as a janitor for a secret agent bureau and accidentally got shrunk from a ray gun.
** In the Hanna Barbera train, Inch using teen help ties it into the YouMeddlingKids type of shows, thought in terms of plots the show has more of a noir detective agency slant. The criminals are often more run of the mill crooks that have fun a foul of the Finkerton Detective Agency, with the only examples of a ScoobyDooHoax being quick disguises they are never the source of the crime.
** Inch is the star and is a KnowNothingKnowItAll, something ''WesternAnimation/TheFunkyPhantom"' also had. While with only two human team mates Lori and Gator trade off as the smart one versus the dumb muscle. Braveheart is the cowardly big dog, but he is also just a normal dog as such he doesn't talk.
