I have been trying to find anyone left in the world that remembers a very short lived mid 60's sitcom called "Captain Marble". I was
6 years old at the time, and I still can hum the entire theme song..how sad!!It was about
a young professor type computer nerd, who worked for a major corporation which used a super computer-I remember he would talk to
his computer, and that it would spit out a "super marble" that he would swallow and turn him into Captain Marble-similar to Captain Nice. Hey, I was only 6 years old, I could be wrong about this, and I could have been hallucinating..it was the 60's. It aired around the same time as "it's about time"..If anyone has any leads, clues, corrections..
send me an email. Thanks, Leee@unix.asb.com

Could you be thinking of "Mr. Terrific," whose rhyming intro began, "A scientist both wise and bold / Sought to cure the common cold. Instead he found a power pill..."
