The show is campy (with an animated intro in the Rocky and Bullwinkle style) that talks about the great scientific invention/pill that grants super human strength but only works on 96 lb weakling Stanley Beamish. The government uses Stanley to help solve problems when no other solution will do. Stanley, who works at the gas station with another fellow, is your stereo typical (and looks similar to William H. Macy). The show itself is campy and the transformation sequence (where Stanley takes his big white pill and then becomes Mr. Terrific) is insanely campy and was shown at least three times in the episode I watched. It was cute the first time, but it wore thin the second and third times. I wondered about the Batman influence as the government office (where Stanley reports for duty) looked suspiciously like the Commisioner's on Batman. I wondered if it wasn't the same set.
