Amazon.com:
One of the more exciting and atmospheric TV adaptations of a popular comic book series, The Flash benefited from terrific special effects, but lasted only a single year on its network in 1990. The series stuck to the Scarlet Speedster's origins: police scientist Barry Allen (John Wesley Shipp) is struck by lightning during an experiment, and chemicals splashed on him during the accident give him the ability to move at incredible speeds (note: hardcore comic fans know that this is the origin for the '60s version of the Flash, not his WWII-era identity). The series partnered him with an attractive fellow scientist (Amanda Pays) who assists Barry in his crime-fighting pursuits. Where the show deviated from its source material was its choice of combatants for the Flash--episodes focused on decidedly human villains, like corrupt officials ("Watching the Detectives") and mobsters (Michael Nader played ex-cop turned hood Nicholas Pike in two episodes, including the pilot), and didn't pull in the comic's excellent "rogues' gallery" until the end of the season, when the Trickster (Mark Hamill, who appears in two episodes), Captain Cold (Michael Champion), Mirror Master (David Cassidy!), and a sort-of Reverse-Flash (in the episode "Twin Streaks") made appearances. Sadly, these appearances were too little, too late for the series, which struggled with a high per-episode price tag and a fluctuating time slot (as well as frequent breaking coverage of the Gulf War). But for the Flash faithful, the six-disc set compiles its entire 21-episode run, including the 90-minute pilot. Unfortunately, no extras are included. --Paul Gaita

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - he Flash Runs at Top Speed
In the early 1990's Barry Allen returned as the Flash on CBS for a short run. CBS pulled the plug on the show saying that it was to expensive to produce and was not cost effective.

Like "Smallville" and "Buffy the Vampire Slyaer," they would also show about 3 or 4 new episodes then to be followed by reurns. Then to e follow by 3 or 4 more new episodes and then more reruns.

It ran for a half a season on CBS.

The series was a combination of the Barry ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best TV live action hero
Definitely the best comic character taken to a TV show ever! truly faithful to the comic storyline this TV show only did bad cause it had to compete with some sort of super bowl thingy.

In this pack you get the whole first and only season that was produced. No extras though!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - In A FLASH
Having remember is series and now viewing the DVD's I realized I missed alot of the series when it first aired. In comparison to today's CGI technology, the show was well done for the small screen at the time. Central City on a whole was not as dark as Gotham City or as Bright as Metropolis. Campy but not like Adam West's Batman. Wonder what it would be like if the show were done by todays standards.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Looking back
I am a comic and speed freak (velocity only)..so the Flash series fulfilled both sides. The thing about it is that I did not see the pilot episode. So for years I've occasionally thought of purchasing the series in it's entirety. I've seen it at many retail stores (for exorbatant prices) but have always decided not to buy, citing reasons that I needed something else that took priority. Well, after making a few forays into the Amazon website, I saw that the prices were reasonable and the safety of ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Nice Set
This short-lived TV series focusing on the comic "The Flash" comes in a nice looking set with all the episodes. Central City has is plagued with drug dealers, gangs and power hungry villians that Wesley Shipp and his trusty dog "Earl" defend. He even uses his "talent" to do his mother's dishes. A great addition to any sci-fi or comic hero fan.
