Did Get Smart ever do a direct parody of Uncle?

I know they had made one episode with Max parodying Mission Impossible's standard opening and they had "Die, Spy" complete with Robert Culp parodying his I Spy character.

Get Smart did an episode called The Man From Y.E.N.T.A. but I don't think it was a direct spoof like Die Spy.

The whole show was a spoof of "The Man from U.N.C.L.E.", parodying everything from a hidden entrance to gadgets and guns to organizations (CONTROL and KAOS) known only by their acronyms.

That's true. Mel Brooks said he and Buck Henry were permitted to visit the U.N.C.L.E. set to observe and get ideas for the series they were developing that would be a spoof of "MFU".
