"Captain Nice" aired for a few months in 1967 when I was 10 years old. I'm proud to say that I never missed an episode of this silly series in the middle of the superhero fad of the mid-1960s.
William Daniels--better known as a cast member of "St. Elsewhere"--played Carter Nash, a chemist who discovered a formula that gave him superhuman strength, allowed him to fly, and made him impervious to bullets. There were problems, though: as Captain Nice, Nash was afraid of heights, had trouble controlling his flights, and found the formula wore off at awkward moments during his crime-fighting adventures. Nash's girlfriend was played by Ann Prentiss.
Normally I would hate something like this, but Daniels was perfect in the title role, and the show was just campy enough to be very entertaining. It didn't last long, but I remember it fondly.
