DVD The Flash - The Complete Series
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
This is a fun show to watch, especially if you're a superhero fan. The show can get a little campy at times, but generally is fairly well written. If you're a hardcore Flash fan - I don't believe the series sticks 100% to the comic books, but then again, who does? When it was originally aired in the early 90's, it was one of the shows I made sure I was home to watch because it was great mindless escapism and it hasn't become any less enjoyable over time. Pick up a copy of this series, put it in the player, sit back with your favorite snack and beverage and have a blast all over again.
Flash series
Loved this show as I do with nearly any series or movie about a super heroe. Just a shame this is the only season.
Flash-tastic!!
Yeah, my title is cheesy, but this DVD collection isn't. I remember the show from when I was a kid, but there were episodes (and innuendos) that I missed. I recall why I was so upset that the show was not renewed. I remember hearing that it's because the special effects cost so much. Nowadays, the effects (and probably, the cost) pale in comparison to show's like Smallville. Most of the episodes are fantastic and the characters were very well cast -- although Alex Desert (Julio) is the only cast member I've seen lately. If you like Smallville, you'll like The Flash.
My only gripe is that the pilot episode ending was damaged on my DVD, so I could not see it in its entirety.
Lois & Clark presents a more upbeat world than the one depicted in Superman Returns. In Bryan Singer's big screen version, Clark loses the girl before the credits even begin. In the third season premiere of the ABC series, however, Clark (Dean Cain) proposes to Lois (Teri Hatcher). Before answering, she wants to know, "Who's asking, Clark or Superman?" So, now he knows she knows (yet another difference). In either case, the answer is no...for now. In this episode, Bill Church (Peter Boyle) also informs Bill Jr. (Bruce Campbell) that now he’ll be working for good rather than bad--which leaves Superman with little to do. That situation won't last long as the Churchs will soon be tossed in the clink and a new boss will take over Intergang. The Brylcreemed one is back in...

the title says it all. compelling storylines, interesting heroes, everything worked great on justice league and jlu (the only bad thing which i noticed (referenced in season 1 extras) was that superman got dominated non-stop in season 1. to the point where you just waited for him to rush in and give his crazy schwarzenegger-like yell as he got stomped. his main superpowers in those days were absorbing lots of pain. but it changed...)
john stewart was a great choice as green lantern. i know everyone loves hal jordan but with the new twist as an ex-marine it worked out well.
the flash is great, and keeps it light.
hawkgirl was an inspired choice, and the relationship between stewart and her builds well.
martian manhunter is a jla rock, and fits in well in a couple... More Info about this DVD DVD Release Date: Released the 21 March 2006 Usually ships in 24 hours

In Lois & Clark's first season, Clark Kent (Dean Cain) and Lois Lane (Teri Hatcher) joined the ranks of Sam and Diane and David and Maddie as TV's sparkiest couples whose devoted fans couldn't wait to see get together. Season 2 takes the star-crossed duo--and the series--to "the next step"; a long-awaited first kiss (the episode "Lucky Leon"), and declarations of love, culminating in a season-ending marriage proposal ("And the Answer Is..."). But getting to that deliriously romantic rain-soaked moment is all the fun. There are diabolical villains for Superman to foil, including a resurrected (and bald) Lex Luthor (John Shea reprising his first-season role in "The Phoenix"), a trash-TV host (Raquel Welch in "Top Copy), the vengeful Prankster (Bronson Pinchot in "The Prankster" and...
