Anyway, for those of you familiar with the original series, let me know how much this one might let you down (if at all). I love Steve Carrell, and I can't see anyone else better suited for the part, but the previews look like they've very much changed up the flavor of the original, and probably not to good effect. Still probably funny, just not sure I want to be disappointed by my expectations.

As much as I like Steve Carrell, I just don't think he can do better than Adams. I grew up watching that show and Adams makes the character in my mind. His voice alone is what makes me think Maxwell Smart (Inspector Gadget anyone? Same voice).
