Editing Captain Nice (section)

== Production ==
The series was created by [[Buck Henry]], who was a co-creator of the hit series ''[[Get Smart]]''. The show's premise is similar to that of [[CBS]]'s ''[[Mister Terrific (TV series)|Mister Terrific]]'', which preceded ''Captain Nice'' on Monday nights. 
 
[[Ann Prentiss]], younger sister of actress [[Paula Prentiss|Paula]] and sister-in-law of actor [[Richard Benjamin]], played Candy.

[[Alice Ghostley]] (who was only three years [[William Daniels|Daniels']] senior) played Carter's mother. She later won fame as the witch Esmerelda on ''[[Bewitched]]'', and as neighbor Bernice on the comedy ''[[Designing Women]]''.

Carter's father, whose face was [[Unseen character|never seen]], was portrayed by one of the films' most prolific character actors, [[Byron Foulger]]. In a reverse of Foulger's [[wikt:ubiquity|ubiquity]] and familiarity in films, his appearances in this series generally found him hidden behind a newspaper and not making a sound.
