Trivia
The origin of the name "Captain Nice:" When Carter Nash is first discovered as a "superhero", he has a belt engraved with his initials, "CN". A passer-by asks him what the "CN" stands for and, not wanting to give his real name, he comes up with, "Captain . . . Nice."

Goofs
Alice Ghostly plays Mrs. Nash, Carter's mother. In real life, she was only 4 years older than William Daniels, who plays Carter.

Quotes
Sheik Abdul: Sopar, you know what to do. If he gives you any trouble at all, reduce him to a memory! If he behaves himself, kill him!

Alternate versions
The show was issued on DVD in Germany (first as a stand-alone, then double-packaged with Mr. Terrific (1967)), but the episodes run 10 minutes short of their original 24 minute running time, and there's no option for English audio.

yeah bad, but fun for kids

Back then we appreciated almost anything with a 'kid theme', especially in the evening. There were a few tantalizing bits thrown at us back then, Top Cat and Bugs Bunny were prime time a few years earlier. But to have a whole non-animated series devoted to being able to drink a potion, ala NICE or eat a pill, as in Mr. Terrific and become super, now that was GREAT FUN. After all these years I remember Captain Nice leaping from a van where in the dark he dressed in culottes and the time the secret formula dripped into a gutter to powerize a 'HIC-BOOM' worm. Even then I knew it was cheap, but I watched it, right after Mr. Terrific.
