Is Captain Nice coming back?
Captain Nice (1967–1967) — comedy on NBC
About Captain Nice
Captain Nice ended on May 1, 1967, on NBC. The show originally aired from January 9 to May 1, 1967, and reruns were later shown on Ha! (Comedy Central) in 1991. It was a comedy series that capitalized on the superhero camp craze of the 1960s, featuring a humorous take on a mild-mannered police chemist who gains superpowers after consuming a secret formula.
The series centered on Carter Nash, a police chemist who transformed into Captain Nice after taking a special serum. Despite his superhero costume and powers like superhuman strength, invulnerability, and flying, he remained quite clumsy and nervous, especially about heights and when drinking the serum. The show depicted his everyday struggles and humorous attempts at crime-fighting, often highlighting his close relationship with his domineering mother and his unrequited affection for Sgt. Candy Kane, a police meter maid.
The cast included William Daniels as Carter Nash/Captain Nice, Alice Ghostley as Mrs. Nash, Ann Prentiss as Candy Kane, Liam Dunn as Mayor Finney, and Bill Zuckert as Chief Segal. The series had a runtime of approximately 30 minutes per episode. Since the show ended in 1967, there are no upcoming episodes or renewal plans.
