The Flash was a TV series that aired on CBS for one year from 1990 to 1991. It featured John Wesley Shipp in the role of Barry Allen, the police detective who through a mixture of chemicals splashed on him by a lightning strike was transformed into the Scarlet Speedster. Amanda Pays plays the role of his scientist friend Dr. Christina McGee, who helps him deal with his newfound superspeed abilities. Some of the Rogues Gallery villains -- Captain Cold, Mirror Master and the Trickster -- appeared in certain episodes. The series had trouble trying to find a suitable time slot on CBS' prime-time scheduling and was ultimately cancelled.
