90's Flash TV Show

Postby Idiot Savant » Sat Feb 08, 2014 8:21 am

Anyone miss this show? I do! Loved it when it was on the air and I didn't miss an episode.

The effects, though somewhat cheap compared to today's standards, was top notch for the time and if I remember correctly, il the show won an award for the effects. Too bad it ran (Flash puns, YES!) for only one season but it was fun.

The suit, even though it was bulky, but so was John Wesley Shipp, was very good and they even had a logical origin for it too.

$10? Lucky. I loved this show as a kid. So much so that I paid $40 for the series when it first came out on DVD years ago. I was a little disappointed it didn't have more true comic villains, but back then you really couldn't be choosy with your super hero shows. Especially since they didn't butcher the costume like a lot of shows and movies like to do nowadays.

I absolutely loved this show. I, too, bought it on DVD when it came out. And Mark Hamill as Trickster was incredible. The costume looked great and then reprising his role again in JLU, so cool. And boy, was I ever hot for Trickster's female sidekick when I was a kid. LOL.

Epic theme song and intro, too.

I loved this show back in the day. I also remember CBS moving the show around without advertising the time changes making hard to catch the show, and if something ran long this was the show that got bumped.

I loved the intro to this show. Man I miss it. I used to stay up late on school nights to watch it. Captain Cold scared me. lol. :smlol:

I sadly wasn't able to watch this show, nor did I know about it during its airing time, but from the bits I've seen lately, I'd certainly say it was pretty great, especially for its time. And I have to say, I absolutely loved Mark Hamill's Trickster appearance. I'm going to have to watch this show all the way through, for sure.

I remember this show! I used to like it a lot! One episode that's going around in my head was one that had a blue Flash that was like a bizarro Flash. Also Captain Cold looked like the Terminator in that show.
