British television series such as "Danger Man" (renamed "Secret Agent" in its US airings), "The Saint" and "The Avengers" began appearing on American screens, inspiring a series of American-produced espionage programs such as "I Spy", "The Man From U.N.C.L.E.", and the parody series "Get Smart". By 1966, spy series (both British and American) had emerged as a favorite format of American viewers, alongside Westerns and rural sitcoms. Television shows that featured uniquely American styles of music, such as "Sing Along with Mitch" and "Hootenanny", were quickly canceled and replaced with shows such as "Shindig!" and "Hullabaloo" that were better positioned to play the new British hits, and segments of the new shows were taped in England.
