Captain Nice
Captain Nice was an American comedy TV series that ran from 9 January 1967 to 28 August 1967, Monday nights at 8:30 pm EST on NBC. The show was an unsuccessful attempt to cash in on the smash hit ABC TV version of Batman. A similar series on CBS, Mr. Terrific, also aired on Monday nights that season in the 8 pm EST time slot. Reruns aired on Ha! (Comedy Central) in 1991.
Plot
Riding the tide of the camp superhero craze of the 1960s, the show's premise involved police chemist Carter Nash (William Daniels), a mild-mannered mama's boy who discovered a secret formula that, when he drank it, transformed him in an explosive burst of smoke into Captain Nice.
