Goddammit. I knew it was comming, but still. This ruins my whole day.

I gotta go buy those Inspector Gadget DVD's.

Are season sets of either show on DVD or just 'best of' sets?

I got you this time Gadget...this time...

Yeah, just read about it at another forum.

It's a real shame. Man, a LOT of voice actors have been dying recently. June Foray's gonna be next, I just know it.

Well, he'll be missed. Maurice LaMarche does a fantastic impression, for sure, but nothing beats the genuine article.

He was the best on Get Smart. I love that show.

Another cartoon Don Adams voiced for was the lead character in the mid-1960's series Tenessee Tuxedo, about a zoo penguin and his walrus friend Chumley who oftentimes try to escape from their zoo and live among humanity, but are always caught and brought back, and in each episode they seek advice from their human friend Mr. Whoopee (voiced by Larry Storch.)

Am I the only one here who's heard of this cartoon? It was my favorite when I was a little tyke.
