In 1967 I was just shy of five years old... but I had a recollection of a TV show where a man's powers would always leave him in the middle of a fight - I think even once when he was flying. I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere her but I think he had a watch with an alarm which would go off when his powers were about to expire - I remember on fight in a garage where he was rolling under cars to avoid the criminals in the scene after his powers had run out...
Even my parents couldn't remember this show - finally a friend who is about 5 years older than me remembered it and told me the name - ahh! Thank you people for letting me know I wasn't dreaming up things...
Now if someone would just find a way to get some old clips... don't know if they allow emails here - but if you find some, please send email to me at agpbasc@aol.com

I was a big fan of Captain Nice and Mr. Terrific. I have some video of the Captain Nice program and after much searching, I recently bought the pilot for Mr. Terrific. Here's the big surprise - Alan Young, not Stephen Strimpell was the original Stanley Beamish, alias Mr. Terrific! Yes, the Alan Young from Mr. Ed. Mr Ed finished in 1966, so he must have filmed the pilot right after. Young was 47 when this was shot, but appeared to be trying to play someone in their late twenties or early thirties. He just seemed to be a little to old for the role, perhaps that's why Strimpell ended up with it.
It was very enjoyable to watch, regardless. It WAS silly. But I'll take that over the garbage that passes for comedy today!

I also remember this sitcom fondly. I remember the balding man who was the superhero's mentor. That was the man who invented the pill. Mr. Terrific pops a pill, then his face turns one color after another, then he gets super powers. I've always thought the pill was the reason this show got axed. It was a good show! But with all the pill-popping going on during the psychedelic sixties, I would imagine the network caught some blowback.
They had a fine concept, good writers and a fine cast. The shows were crazy-popular, both, "Mr. Terrific" and "Captain Nice". This one was conceived FIRST, and if somebody hadn't leaked the concept to another network, it would have run at least a few seasons. Mr. Strimpell's work, in the title role (Mr. Terrific), is more than adequate, he does what he needs to do, within the confines of the script. "Captain Nice", was a carbon copy, except not as funny, and since they were on at the same time, on the same day, the public got worn out on the idea, pretty quickly. Lines became blurry as to which show was, "the funny one". Both series were very formulaic. This is the superhero version of, "Get Smart". Blaming Mr. Strimpell for the show's failure (and frankly, I believe the networks came to an agreement to pull the plugs of both series together and prematurely), is absurd. I, as everyone else here has said, was a kid when they were on, I loved them both, and they were the rage. Kids didn't count, back then, however, as the networks hadn't yet done the math on the amount of dollars children pulled in. It should also be noted, that although Buck Henry was the creator and head writer of the other show, the experience was such a negative one, that he seems to have expunged his name from the records.
Over the years I have brought up the subject of a guy name Stanley Beamish. My name being Stan subjected me to being called "Stanley Beamish" as a 9 year old kid back then. I was a skinny nerd type at that time myself. I loved the Mr. Terrific/Captain Nice shows while they were on the air and still wonder why they took them off the air. Over the years I was curious why no one remembered the show. I began to wonder if it was a figment of my imagination. Thank God for the information available by way of the internet. I feel like a little kid all over again just knowing that there were others who had the same curiosity. Let's send Mr. Terrific and Captain Nice into Iraq to stop the madness!
