Anyone remember a 60's (Inept) Superhero series? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

There was this Superhero show I watched as a kid. It had this bumbling SuperHero. I think he wore a red suit and cape. I think his name started with an "M"

You are either thinking of Mr. Terrific (which would go with the M name) or Captain Nice. The first involved pills that gave super powers and the second had a super serum that did the same thing. Both had capes. They were, afterall, superheros.

I remember Captain Nice and Mr Terrific. William Daniels was the lead in one. Captian Nice I think. THis was years before his St Elsewhere stint

The minute I read the word inept, I thought of Mr. Terrific.
