Series was in early 70's-late 80's, guy was a secret agent of some sort. He could turn invisible.

He had a digital watch a lot like the old Casio, kept track of how long he was invisible. If he went too long, he could not turn back.

Watch seemed like a major prop on the show, I think it was back when we just started to see digital watches.

I want to say it was on NBC, and right around the same time Man from Atlantis was on.

Thanks

Ben Murphy as Gemini Man

Ben Murphy was Sam Casey a secret agent who worked for a government organization called INTERSECT.

While diving on one mission, Sam was contaminated with radiation from an underwater explosion which rendered him invisible. It was only through the dedicated scientists at INTERSECT that Sam was able to turn visible again, using a special watch they created. By turning the watch off, Sam could go invisible but if he stayed that way for more than 15 minutes in any 24 hour period, he would die.

The series was first broadcast on September 23, 1976 and lasted until October 28, 1976 before being canceled. It has yet to be released onto DVD, but fans of Ben's can always keep hoping!

Ben graduated from college with a degree in political science.

Gemini Man was actually a revamp on the David McCallum series, The Invisible Man, that had aired the year before. Leslie Stevens who had created such classic shows as The Outer Limits and had written episodes of McCloud and It Takes a Thief was called into make the show into something that could be sustainable week after week. Gone was the permanent invisibility, Casey could turn his off and on at will. Casey was a swashbuckler, a hero, whereas, Weston (McCallum's character) was a dour scientist who was on the run from just about everyone.
