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

I grew up during the early 1970's & began reading comic books at that time. Although I enjoyed all the DC characters the Flash was my favorite. But I had never seen an origin story in the comics. So when CBS announced a Flash tv series for 1990 I couldn't wait. The origin presented here is very exciting & complete. This series is supposed to be a combination of the 1950's Flash & Kid Flash from the 1980's. So when you watch the show & see cars & buildings from the 50's combined with computer crimefighting ...

THis is a True collectors item for The tv fan of AMERICAN classics. Not just for the superhero fans. This was a work of art. & great stories! Remember it is a TRUE fact that this show was cancled NOT because of low ratings. But because of not having $$$ for the budget. Sponsors couldnt fund the high cost of the new high tech special effects of those days. As a matter of fact the Show was at the top of ratings when cancled. To be cancled due to funding issues was particully a rare historic first.
