I like that the CW Flash series brought back John Wesley Shipp, Amanda Pays, and Mark Hamill to reprise their roles from the 90s Flash series/movies. Shipp actually got three roles on that show by playing Barry's Dad, Jay Garrick, and his 90s Flash. Dude received major respect despite his version being mostly forgotten. Edit: And the CW Flash also brought back Prank, Bellows, and Julio's actors too. I never realized they were from the 90s show.

Well, there aren't really. The first movie is just the feature-length pilot. The Flash II: Revenge of the Trickster is just episode 11, The Trickster, and episode 21, Trial of the Trickster. The Flash III: Deadly Nightshade is just episode 8, Ghost in the Machine, and episode 15, Deadly Nightshade. So, until the complete series was released on DVD, those three VHS tapes with those 5 episodes were the only home video releases for the show you could own.

The 90's Flash TV show is one of my favorite shows. I loved that it was simple, it didn't try to be more than it already is, the effects were fantastic for the time, it was character-driven for the most part and it was just altogether fun. This has always been the *real* Flash for me.

I watched some of it a few years ago when I got into the CW Flash Show. What struck me the most was the excellent score ... Danny Elfman of course! I really l liked the episode where Barry met the retired superhero, a guy roughly based on Sandman, it had some Batman Beyond vibes to it.

It was fun, but it was never given a chance to become great.

Since it never played on any of the main channels here in Britain, and since I didn't get cable till 2003, all I ever saw of this was the three movies on vhs. Then managed to catch a repeat of one episode on our version of the sci fi channel when house sitting for someone in 2001. And then I got the Dvd in 2020. I waited nigh on 30 years to watch all of this. And I loved it! More so than the cw version, which lost its way for me from season two onwards. It does take about a third of run to find it's feet - initially the network wouldn't let them use costumed villains so he is just fighting ordinary crooks - but from the episode ghost in the machine on it really clicks. Even more so in the last third when they make Barry and Tina a crime fighting partnership. Comic book action with stories complete in one episode. I don't think it's bad at all. I think it's a great show and it still stands up well. And nobody says 'we'll get/stop him. I promise.' What's there not to love?

I loved this show back in the day. When John Wesley Shipp showed up in the CW Flash, I just about jumped out of my seat with delight.

The era when people knew how daft and camp the genre was and didn't pretend otherwise.

This is a blast from the past. I have such a hankering to rewatch this show now.

Thanks for finally mentioning the whole Harley Quinn Inspo thing - people keep seeing Hammill and Joker, but they just completely miss the fact Prank was Harley.
