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 - IF YOU BLINK...YOU'LL MISS...THE FLASH !!
This six disc set put out from Warner Studios is a welcomed addition to my superhero DVD collection and also contains the 90 minute pilot episode. This amazing six disc set also contains the entire 21 episode run of the much underrated, underdeveloped and short lived live-action 90's television series "The Flash". The packaging and disc artwork are well done and even though the discs overlap one another I find them easy to remove and replace in the package. For comic book fans and Flash purists this ...

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Cut past the cheese, and the rest is smooth sailing
Sure, the set was pretty bare-bones (seriously, would it have killed them to cobble together a interview segment with the cast and crew looking back on the show, or dig up some behind-the-scenes footage, or even throw in a single commentary track?), and some of the earlier episodes were somewhat cornier than I remembered, but the show definitely picked up speed (pardon the pun) pretty quickly. In fact, one episode in particular, "Beat the Clock", was a surprisingly good dramatic story, and even featured ... Read More


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good show, bad timing...
I can't really say too much that hasn't been said already. When this show came on the air, I was afraid that the special effects would be cheesy beyond words, but in fact were top notch for its time. J.W. Shipp as the Barry Allen was very solid, as was Amanda Pays (yum) as Tina McGee, and Alex Desert as Julio Mendez (a bit under-utilized, IMO).

The stories ranged from the excellent: the two with the late Jason Bernard, and the "Beat The Clock" episode with Angela Bassett (yes!) in a cameo where ... Read More


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - The Flash a bit miscast in his own show
In 1990, with a theme composed by Danny Elfman, the Flash made his live action debut. However, his would be gone in a flash, nowhere near the hits Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, his fellow DC superheroes would become. The pilot had him becoming a masked avenger similar to Batman who would avenge his brother's death. It doesn't quite work because those like myself to knew the early comic books of the late fifties when Barry Allen was introduced, his job already is Police Scientist.

The supporting ... Read More


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Before it's time
It would probably do better if it came out now. It was a decent series
