I was 16 when this series aired. Something clicked. I never forgot it. I also saw Captain Nice which followed on NBC. Mr. Terrific was on CBS. Captain Nice was a satire in the Get Smart tradition. It was a fairly good show. I liked it. Mr. Terrific was an average situation comedy.
Stephen Strimpell, who wished that he could have forgotten this series, played Stanley Beamish, an incompetent super hero, who in real life is a weakling. Dick Gautier in a change from Hymie the robot on Get Smart, played Stanley's partner, Hal Walters. The government Agents were played to perfection by John McGiver (Mr. Reed) & Paul Smith (Mr. Trent). Harley Trent's comments were priceless. Stanley just managed to succeed even though on one mission, he kidnaps an understudy instead of the ballerina. Of course there are funny moments along the way. You see a little bit of what it might be like to be a part time super hero.
Not much of a show. I still don't know why I'm crazy about it. I wish it would be released on DVD here. It is available only in Germany.
