For me the mix of nostalgia with the modern was cool. Though when they crashed that '59 Cadillac into a pole I was ready to murder someone. (Chuckles) If your a car guy this is worth it just for the cars. If your into comics and the flash its worth it as well. My only real complaint about the writing is that the Flash is fickle when it comes to women. He has Tina fawning over him and he ignores her to fall in love with a different girl every couple of shows. That actually began to be distracting. Ok onto what you want to know. Good production value no skips or jumps. Awesome video and sound.Six discs with 22 episodes and no special features. (Awesome with everything else but no special features)Ok here's the episode list with spoilers.1 \"Pilot\"Forensic scientist Barry Allen is struck by lightning and doused in chemical products that afford him superhuman speed, which he learns to control with help from Tina McGee, a scientist from S.T.A.R. Labs. When Barry's brother, policeman Jay Allen, is murdered by his corrupt ex-partner, Nicholas Pike, the leader of a vicious motorcycle gang of criminals, Barry uses his newfound abilities to bring Pike and his men to justice and decides to continue protecting Central City as \"The Flash\".2 \"Out of Control\"While Barry and his colleague Julio Mendez investigate the murders of several homeless people whose bodies are being stolen from the crime scenes, Tina reconnects with an old friend, Dr. Carl Tanner, who has recently returned to Central City to retrieve Tina's late husband's research on genetic engineering. Barry and Tina learn that Tanner is using the vagrants in his illegal experiments to create mutations, and upon being confronted, Tanner injects himself with the unfinished serum, turning into a man monster that only the Flash manages to defeat.3 \"Watching the Detectives\"Barry's secret identity is uncovered by Megan Lockhart, a private investigator employed by corrupt District Attorney Thomas Castillo, whose collaborator, mobster Arthur Simonson, has hired an arsonist to torch buildings in the waterfront area as part of Castillo's efforts to bring legalized gambling into Central City on behalf of the organized crime. Castillo blackmails Barry into becoming his secret accomplice, enabling Barry to acquire evidence of Castillo's crimes, including his plans to control the mob bosses and seize control of their business. Upon learning of this, Simonson rigs a bomb in Castillo's car and Castillo is subsequently assassinated when he turns the ignition. Lockhart, having grown attracted to Barry, surrenders the evidence to Barry she had compiled in order to protect his secret.4 \"Honor Among Thieves\"Master thief Stan Kovacs assembles a team of criminals, which the police believes intends to steal the Mask of Rasputin from the museum of natural history. While they are distracted guarding it, Kovacs masterminds a string of robberies across Central City, which are foiled by the Flash, and in the process Barry learns that Kovacs is using the other criminals as a diversion so his accomplice Celia Wayne can steal the relic from the museum's curator and Barry's mentor, Ted Preminger. The Flash catches up to Kovacs and Celia before they escape with the artifact and brings them to justice, insuring that Preminger can finance the museum with the Rasputin Mask exhibit.5 \"Double Vision\"Barry attempts to foil the kidnapping of Paloma Aguilar, daughter of DEA agent Peter Paul Aguilar, who is scheduled to testify against drug lord Reuben Calderon. However, Calderon's enforcer, Marcos Trachman, utilizes advanced microscopic devices to control Barry's nervous system and force him to help them kidnap Paloma before Tina manages to jam the devices' signal. Barry and Tina then race against time to prevent a brainwashed Paloma from murdering her father while under Trachman's control, and once he's defeated, he agrees to testify against Calderon, leading to Calderon's conviction.6 \"Sins of the Father\"Barry attempts to protect his father, veteran policeman Henry Allen, from Johnny Ray Hix, a dangerous criminal that Henry arrested 15 years prior and who has escaped from prison to enact revenge. Henry is initially dismissive of Barry's attempts to use forensic science, which Henry rejects, to locate Hix, but they prove vital when Hix murders Henry's old partner Pete Donello and hires a hitman who nearly kills Henry. The Flash rescues him and brings Hix to justice, while Barry and Henry finally make amends.7 \"Child's Play\"Barry shelters street orphans Terry and Cory Cohan, who have stolen the knapsack of a recently murdered journalist, Philip Sullivan, containing Sullivan's research on a highly addictive synthetic drug known as \"Blue Paradise\", developed by notorious drug designer Beauregarde Lesko. Terry is nearly murdered while meeting Lesko to exchange the briefcase for $1 million dollars, and Barry subsequently defeats Lesko and dismantles his operation before Blue Paradise can be unleashed in Central City, while Terry and Cory are adopted by Sullivan's widow, Joan.8 \"Shroud of Death\"Lieutenant Warren Garfield stonewalls Barry and Julio's efforts to locate a cloaked figure who is targeting individuals connected to the arrest of notorious anarchist Jefferson Zacharias, who was executed after having been given the death penalty. Barry realizes Garfield was the arresting officer just as Garfield's fiancée, Mavis, is critically injured by the killer, revealed to be Zacharias' daughter, Angel, who then lures Garfield into a trap. The Flash intervenes, saves Garfield's fiancée and then prevents Garfield from killing her in revenge. Garfield then marries Mavis.9 \"Ghost in the Machine\"In 1955, Central City's guardian was Desmond Powell, who fought crime as \"the Nightshade\". His nemesis, a criminal mastermind known as \"The Ghost\", is believed to have died after a confrontation, causing a guilt-stricken Powell to retire. However, the Ghost has in fact preserved himself in cryogenic suspended animation and resurfaces in 1990, where he hijacks Central City's power grids and holds the city for ransom, forcing Powell to return to action and join forces with the Flash. Together, the defeat the Ghost, who had wired himself into the city's electrical network, and save the city.10 \"Sight Unseen\"Brian Gideon, a disturbed chemical engineer, learns that S.T.A.R. Labs is producing nerve toxins based on his research for the United States government and uses an stealth device to infiltrate S.T.A.R. Labs and retrieve the toxins. His plan traps Tina and her employer Ruth Wenerke in the lab, where they are exposed to a deadly neurotoxin. While attempting to locate both Gideon and a cure, Barry clashes with federal agent Jack Quinn, who is trying to cover up his own involvement in the crisis. Barry confronts Gideon, who injects him with the toxin in order to escape, but Barry is able to burn it off his body, and use his blood to inoculate Tina and Ruth. Gideon is then arrested, while Ruth cuts ties with Quinn, who is suspended when the activities he illegally sanctioned for Gideon are exposed.11 \"Beat the Clock\"Barry and Julio are tipped off that Wayne Contrell, a famous Jazz saxophonist on the death row for the murder of his wife, lounge singer Linda Lake, is innocent, and they have less than an hour to find evidence to acquit him. They ultimately learn that Linda was kidnapped by Wayne's brother, Elliott Contrell, who wanted to ruin his brother's life out of jealousy, and that his enforcer, a hitman nicknamed \"Whisper\", murdered another woman, who was then put in Linda's place in a fixed car accident designed to lead back to Wayne. After incapacitating Whisper, Barry carries Linda to the execution chamber. They arrive in the very moment the switch of the electric chair is flicked, so Barry unties Wayne just in time before the current would electrocute him. Wayne is reunited with Linda, while Elliott is arrested.12 \"The Trickster\"James Jesse, a serial killer with multiple personalities, becomes obsessed with Megan Lockhart, who had been investigating his activities, and attempts to kidnap her, but she is rescued by the Flash. Believing them to be romantically involved, Jesse adopts the identity of the Trickster and begins tormenting the Flash, who ultimately lures Jesse into a fight at the police's costume ball, where he is arrested. Despite Barry and Megan becoming involved, she decides to leave Central City and ends their relationship.(Just got to say Mark Hamill was AWESOME)13 \"Tina, Is That You?\"Barry becomes plagued with nightmares due to his double life as The Flash.

Labs, using the bio-feedback device to restore her to normal.14 \"Be My Baby\"Barry crosses paths with Stacy Doubek, the daughter of Nobel prize winning academics, and her young daughter, Lily, who are fleeing Lily's father, mobster Philip Moses, who wants the child as his heir. After the Flash prevents Moses from kidnapping Lily, Garfield attempts to use her in a sting operation to lure Moses into a trap, but Moses is tipped off by his men and manages to escape with Lily. The Flash chases him to an abandoned airfield and prevents him from leaving Central City, and Moses is arrested while Stacy and Lily are reunited and decide to stay in Central City.15 \"Fast Forward\"Nicholas Pike is released from prison on a technicality and attempts to use a missile to kill the Flash, instead transporting him 10 years into the future, where Barry's secret identity has been exposed and Pike has conquered the now dystopian city. Aided by his old friends, Barry regains his speed and manages to return to the past, capturing Pike once again and saving the city.16 \"Deadly Nightshade\"Philanthropist Curtis Bohannan, son of Derek Bohannan, a mobster fought by the Nightshade in the 1950s, becomes a copycat vigilante known as \"The Deadly Nightshade\", who employs lethal force in his crusade against crime.

Barry locates them and defeats Bohannan with Powell's help.

Barry's investigation is hampered by Terri Kronenberg, a tabloid reporter for the National Inquisitor. After killing Swain for firing him after his failure to kill The Flash in the first attempt, Wynters nearly kills Barry after Kronenberg gets in the middle of them during a confrontation. Wynters is caught by The Flash after he attempts to kill her in her apartment. Wynters later escapes prison and lures the Flash into a trap, hellbent on completing his contract out of honor, but Barry outsmarts him due to a device that preserves his body heat, and diverts Wynters' beam against him, encasing Wynters in ice.18 \"Twin Streaks\"Barry is cloned by Dr. Jason Brassel, who names the clone \"Pollux\". Upon learning that he is a clone and not a real person, Pollux goes on a rampage and comes into conflict with the Flash, who is currently suffering symptoms of stress and fatigue.

He rescues Tina, who had been lured to the station where Stacia was trying to sell the battery, pummels Scudder and arrests Stacia, returning the battery to S.T.A.R Labs.20 \"Good Night, Central City\"Petty crook Harry Milgrim and his cousin, scientist Roger Braintree, plan to use a soundwave device developed by Braintree, which places people in an induced slumber, to rob Central City. Milgrim fakes his death during a test run, then pins the blame for a robbery on Barry, who races against time to both prove his innocence and prevent Milgrim, Braintree and a group of professional gangsters from conducting a citywide robbery. In the end, Barry triumphs, with Milgrim, who had killed Braintree in an argument about using weapons, is arrested, clearing his name.21 \"Alpha\"Barry and Tina befriend Alpha, an android assassin developed by the United States government who refuses to kill, and protect her from another assassin, Omega, send to destroy her.

(Again Mark Hamill steals the show)"},{"@type":"Review","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"4.0"},"author":{"@type":"Person","name":"S***A"},"datePublished":"Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 30, 2023","name":"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n Broken case\n \n","reviewBody":"Case came in broken but the DVDs were fine"},{"@type":"Review","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"5.0"},"author":{"@type":"Person","name":"R***."},"datePublished":"Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 3, 2015","name":"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n Great show from the 1990s.\n \n","reviewBody":"Ah, the 1990's. Not a helluva lotta good came out of that decades. It was pretty lame for the most part, especially for comic book fans. Except for this one little gem: The Flash. But, alas, many people didn't get to see much of the show.91+2RFMQjmL._SL1500_The reason no one got to see much of it was because CBS was playing schedule roulette with the Flash, and then wouldn't even show the damn thing when it did manage to stay in one time slot for more than a week. I remember they put it up against both The Cosby Show and The Simpsons on a Thursday night. Thursday nights were owned by NBC's sitcom block, so that was a losing proposition from the outset, and virtually guaranteed that an effects-laden, budget-heavy show was doomed. I remember at least two instances where the program was preempted for \"breaking news stories,\" meaning we missed out on 45 minutes of story (and on one night, the whole damn show). I know I missed at least three episodes when they were originally broadcast, which majorly sucked, since this show was fantastic! I heard that some of The Powers That Be at CBS went so far as to apologize to some of the cast for mucking up their chances for a hit show.Re-watching this show, and doing so in color for the first time ( I didn't get a color set until 1992; don't ask), the show was, in my opinion, the best attempt to bring live-action comics to the small screen up to that time. The only better incarnation was Chris Reeve's Superman (at least the first two movies). Everything was garish; four color sets, older, stylish cars, not quite Gothic architecture. Watching it now reminds me a lot of Warren Beatty's Dick Tracy movie; the creators of The Flash seemed to use the same approach to the look and color scheme of the show. And it's a very good look.The acting was pretty good as well. John Wesley Shipp, like Chris Reeve, was a soap opera veteran and played the role with aplomb and a certain goofiness that fit the proceedings perfectly. Amanda Pays was cast as Dr. Tina McGee, and manages to keep a steady head amid the strangeness. You also have some interesting roles for many noted actors and performers, like Richard Belzer, Alex Desert (as Barry Allen's best pal Julio), Brian Cranston, Jeri Ryan, Bill Mumy, and David Cassidy. And, of course, Mark Hamill playing the Trickster, which seemed to be as much therapy for him as voicing the Joker on the Batman cartoon.The plot of the show was fairly true to the comic books, with Barry Allen being hit by lightning and chemicals to transform into the fastest man alive. The show itself is a grand, if unintended combination of all three then-current incarnations of the Flash --this Central City reminded me of Jay Garrick's roost in the original Flash Comics, and the science was similar to Wally West's mid-eighties run as the Scarlet Speedster. The show was a little corny, a little campy, at times, but it was a lot of fun, like a good comic book (or a good television show) should be. It wasn't as heavy on actual super-villains as the comic book was, with only a couple of the Rogues' Gallery making it to the small screen. But TV budgets could (and still can) only go so far. Especially in those pre-CGI days.I'm sure a lot of folks have been watching the newest incarnation of The Flash on the CW, a spin-off of Arrow. It's a great show, and features several stars of the original Flash series in supporting roles, particularly John Wesley Shipp as Barry Allen's father, and Amanda Pays as a new version of Tina McGee.This set runs for around $16.00 on Amazon.com, and it's really worth the price - 6 DVDs with all 22 episodes of the show. The only drawback is that there aren't any extras on the making of the show. But I can live with that. I binge-watched the whole series over the course of a few mornings and afternoons, but if you want to catch the really good episodes first, the pilot, \"Watching the Detectives\", \"Sins of the Father\" (featuring M. Emmet Walsh as Barry's father), \"Ghost in the Machine\" (introducing the fifties' vigilante the Nightshade), and \"Done with Mirrors\" (featuring David Cassidy as the Mirror Master) are all great shows."},{"@type":"Review","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"5.0"},"author":{"@type":"Person","name":"M***M"},"datePublished":"Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 10, 2023","name":"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n Great\n \n","reviewBody":"Worth it for the pilot episode alone."},{"@type":"Review","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"4.0"},"author":{"@type":"Person","name":"J***Y"},"datePublished":"Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 12, 2023","name":"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n 🏃🏽‍♂️💨 ...

He recovers to find out he has super powers that give him lightning fast super speed and reflexes.

It's a long forgotten show from 1990 and with the recent new series of The Flash doing well, now is the perfect time to revisit the show. It's dated but still fun with a decent cast and based on the classic DC comic The Flash, this is the first live action version TV or film of the superhero. It's camp though nowhere near as camp as the 60's Batman TV series that everyone remembers and shows how far superhero based TV shows have come in all these years. An American import release only so make sure you have a compatible DVD player before buying and not hard to see why this got cancelled after just one season with colourful villains, Mark Hammill's The Trickster, a kind of rip off of Batman villain The Joker being the highlight and a pair of incompetent comedy sidekick cops."},{"@type":"Review","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"5.0"},"author":{"@type":"Person","name":"D***K"},"datePublished":"Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 18, 2018","name":"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n Three generations gave this a thumbs up.\n \n","reviewBody":"This series I remember seeing some of years ago.
