Get Smart (1965)

Get Smart cleverly parodies the secret agent trope, blending humor and espionage in a way only Mel Brooks and Buck Henry could. Starring Don Adams, Barbara Feldon, and Edward Platt, the show was born from a desire to capitalize on the popularity of iconic figures like James Bond and Inspector Clouseau. Featuring an unusual laugh track for a Brooks creation, its comedic brilliance led to the production of two follow-up films, a 1995 revival, and a 2008 movie remake. TV Guide even ranked its iconic opening sequence among the best in television history.
