[ SYNOPSIS ]

Barry Allen (John Wesley Shipp) is a police crime technologist endowed with sudden talents after a fluke lab accident. He pledges to use his new powers for good, powers that include ultra-speed reflexes and the ability to vibrate his molecules so rapidly he can pass through solid walls. Medical researcher Tina McGee (Amanda Pays) monitors Allen's accelerated metabolism and guards his secret identity. The Trickster (Mark Hamill), Captain Cold (Michael Champion), The Ghost (Anthony Starke), and various mad inventors... Central City is rife with criminals. Now there's a hero to keep pace with them.

[ NOTES ]

The Flash (1990): The Complete Series is available on Blu-ray and DVD: 2011 Repackaged Plastic Case or 2006 Fold-Out Digipack Packaging. Although the DVDs look good - I got the 2011 repackaged version in Best Buy for $10 a year or two ago - the Blu-ray looks fantastic and is worth the upgrade if you like or love this early 1990s series, which is in the same vein as Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman - another show that I hope Warner Archive gives the Complete Series Blu-ray treatment to soon. If I had any complains, it's that it would have been nice to have a few special features, be they vintage promos and interviews, or new interviews with Shipp, Pays, and Hammill.

Nearly 25 years later, The Flash came back to TV in the 2014-2023 series starring Grant Gustin, and after that ended, he appeared in the self-titled 2023 theatrical film starring Ezra Miller (which I reviewed last year). You just can't stop the Scarlet Speedster.
