  Step back in time for a dose of spy satire with Get Smart. Co-created by Mel Brooks, this classic sitcom hilariously parodies the spy genre of the 1960s. Don Adams stars as Maxwell Smart, Agent 86, a clumsy but somehow effective secret agent working for CONTROL, battling the evil organization KAOS. The show is famous for its silly gadgets (the shoe phone, the cone of silence) and catchphrases like "Would you believe...?" and "Missed it by that much!" It's a lighthearted, gag-filled take on espionage that pokes fun at the tropes of serious spy dramas.
