The Flash comes to DVD

TVShowsOnDVD.com has the news that The Flash is coming to DVD on January 10, 2006.

IMHO one of the better super-hero-based television shows, The Flash starred John Wesley Shipp as Barry Allen and Amanda Pays as Dr. Christina McGee. Mark Hamill appeared on several episodes as The Trickster, and Howard Chaykin & John Francis Moore co-wrote several episodes. It ran just one season on CBS from 1990-1991, but is fondly remembered by the five of us who were watching.
