Mr. Terrific is a sitcom that aired on CBS.

Gas station attendant Stanley Beamish, a mild-mannered scrawny youth, secretly worked to fight crime for a government organization, The Bureau of Secret Projects, in Washington. All he needed to do was take a "power pill" which gave him the strength of a thousand men and enabled him to fly, much like Superman, (albeit by furious flapping while wearing the top half of a wingsuit.) Unfortunately, he was the only person on whom the pills worked. It was established that, although the pill would give him great strength, he was still vulnerable to bullets. Furthermore, each power pill had a time limit of one hour (like Underdog and DC Comics' Hourman), although he generally had two 10-minute booster pills available per episode. Much of the show's humor revolved around Stanley losing his superpowers before he completed his given assignment.

Stanley's government employers were Mr. Barton J. Reed and Mr. Harley Trent, and his day-job partner at the service station was Hal Walters. Stanley was sworn to secrecy concerning his alter-ego and superpowers.
