=== Television === ''Get Smart, Again!'' eventually prompted the development of a short-lived 1995 weekly series on [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]] also titled ''[[Get Smart (1995 TV series)|Get Smart]]'', with Adams and Feldon reprising their characters with Maxwell Smart now being the Chief of Control as their bumbling son, Zach ([[Andy Dick]]), becomes Control's star agent (Zach's twin sister is never seen nor mentioned – though the new leader of KAOS, a hidden female figure, would have been revealed as the other twin if the show had continued). And 99 is now a congresswoman. The beginning teaser shows Maxwell Smart and Zach driving to Control headquarters in a car wash separately; Smart, Zach and their secretary cram themselves into a secret elevator: a soda machine which "disappears". (A cleaning lady sits down in the open space when all of a sudden the machine pops up and knocks the woman into the ceiling.) A late episode of the 1995 series shows that just as Siegfried is leaving a room, Maxwell Smart accidentally activates an atomic bomb just before the end of the show. (The teaser for the episode shows an atomic bomb going off.) This ending is similar to a device used by the ''Get Smart''-inspired series ''[[Sledge Hammer!]]'' at the end of its first season. Hopes for the series were not high, as Andy Dick had already moved on to ''[[NewsRadio]]'', which premiered weeks later in 1995. With the revival series on Fox, ''Get Smart'' became the first television franchise to air new episodes (or made-for-TV films) on each of the aforementioned current four major American television networks, although several TV shows in the 1940s and 1950s aired on NBC, CBS, ABC and [[DuMont Television Network|DuMont]]. The different versions of ''Get Smart'' did not all feature the original lead cast. ''Get Smart'' was parodied on a sketch in the Mexican comedy show {{lang|es|De Nuez en Cuando}} called {{lang|es|italic=no|"Super Agente 3.1486"}},<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEHo7h-F1KM|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130727022345/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEHo7h-F1KM|url-status=dead|title=- YouTube|archivedate=July 27, 2013|website=www.youtube.com|accessdate=December 18, 2022}}</ref> making fun of the Spanish title of the series ({{lang|es|Super Agente 86}}) and the way the series is dubbed. An early ''[[MadTV]]'' sketch titled "Get Smarty" placed the Maxwell Smart character in situations from the film ''[[Get Shorty (film)|Get Shorty]]''. An episode of ''[[F Troop]]'' called "Spy, Counterspy, Counter–counterspy" featured [[Pat Harrington Jr.]] imitating Don Adams as secret agent "B. Wise". ''[[The Simpsons]]'' episode "[[Bart vs. Lisa vs. the Third Grade]]" parodies the opening of ''Get Smart'' in the couch gag. Homer goes through many futuristic doors and passageways until he reaches the phone booth, falls through the floor, and lands on the couch, with the rest of the family already seated. This couch gag was later repeated in two other ''The Simpsons'' episodes: "[[The Fat and the Furriest]]" and "[[A Star is Torn]]".
