Like NBC was trying to cash in on the Batman craze with Captain Nice, CBS also tried to cash in with Mr Terrific. The series was about Stanely Beamish (Stephen Strimpell), a gas station attendant who could transform into a superhero when he took a pill developed by the government. Legendary voice actor Paul Frees was the narrator. The series only lasted one season of 17 episodes and an unaired pilot (Alan Young played the lead in the unaired pilot). The last episode aired on May 8, 1967. ("The Sultan has Five Wives" Mr Terrific, TV Event)
