Of course, I'll always remember him as the voice of Tennessee Tuxedo the Penguin, too...

In memorium, someone oughta play Toto's "99" (which allegedly actually was inspired by the lovely and talented Barbara Feldon).

P.S.  If Adams's death results in someone greenlighting a film remake of "Get Smart," I'll be doubly saddened.

as noted in a thread here last week, it's already in the pipeline with Steve Carell as Maxwell Smart. Been in development forever, actually;, Carell's success in 40 Year-Old Virgin led to it being revived.

Would that TVLand starts showing the reruns again.
