One of my favorite shows when I was a kid is finally coming out to DVD. Starting John Wesley Shipp and Amanda Pays the series premiered on CBS in 1990 but due to low rating was cancelled after a couple of seasons. Eventhough it was too true to the comic I still loved this show, cementing the Flash as one of my favorite comic characters.

Flash – The Complete Series IS in the works, and WILL be on DVD in the future! The studio hasn’t said anything officially about this release yet, so we don’t have a date or any other details, but stay tuned and we’ll let you know more when we do.
The 1990 series starring John Wesley Shipp as “Barry Allen/The Flash” and Amanda Pays as “Tina McGee” was short-lived (22 episodes) but has become a fan favorite. The show was based on the classic DC Comics superhero about a police scientist who gains super-speed in an accident involving lightning and chemicals, and who uses his powers to fight crime. M. Emmet Walsh, Jason Bernard, Angela Bassett, Priscilla Pointer, Denise Crosby, Jeri Ryan, Bill Mumy, David Cassidy as “The Mirror Master”, and Mark Hamill as “The Trickster” are among the many guest stars in this cult classic.
