BOLT OF LIGHTNING TURNED ONE FORENSIC COP INTO A SUPERHUMAN SPEED MACHINE
At least someone is interested in my blog, maybe this is my cue to call and I should switch to being a film critic or not the prodigal son of one Molly Meldrum (jokes).
Seriously, I can only faintly remember THE
FLASH being on TV, Wikipedia soon told me that it was screened on TV in 1990 and 1991, only 22 episodes of the show were made, and it was canned due to poor ratings, much of which could have been attributed most likely to the coverage of the Gulf War on American TV around that time, the programming schedule of the show was all out of whack as a result.

The show was most likely better than what the ratings suggested. Obviously the show was picked up by one of the Australian TV networks because I am Australian and not American.
THE FLASH was a crafty show that was built on a comic book premise of a man, a police forensic scientist named Barry Allen (played by John Wesley Schipp) who gets flown into a cabinet of chemicals in his crime lab when it is struck by lightning, which results in his DNA being altered and him developing superhuman abilities allowing him to run as
fast as a speeding bullet.
fast as a speeding bullet.
Like any good super action hero TV show in the mould of Batman or Superman, THE FLASH wasn`just about the good guys, there were a few baddies who made the show what it was.
They`re members of the rogue gallery, as it is referred to on Wikipedia, fellas like PRANK, TRICKSTER, CAPTAIN COLD and MIRROR MASTER.
Don't know who any of those characters were or in what way the storyline of THE FLASH was built around them, but if you believe the guy who emailed me about the show they were just as despicable and wicked as any of the baddies who went up against the other caped crusaders like Superman and Batman.
I cant tell you much else other than what I
have about THE FLASH, in 1991 my mind was somewhere else with women at the grand old age of 16 and honestly I hardly watched any TV in the early 90`s, it if wasn`t for Seinfeld or Pamela Anderson`s bikini what really was worth watching on TV in the 90`s (laugh).

THE FLASH for all I know might be screened on pay TV, I don't watch it, but maybe one of the commercial TV stations in australia
might want to give THE FLASH a re-run for old times sake.
