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. In the unaired pilot, Beamish was played by Alan Young. The first episode aired on January 9, 1967. Legendary voice actor Paul Frees was the narrator. ("Matchless" Mr Terrific, TV Event)
