A few episodes
were written by comics legend Howard Chaykin and the TV costume was
designed by Dave Stevens (The Rocketeer). While a critical
success and vigorously backed by the network, the series had the
dubious distinction of being aired against ratings powerhouses
The Cosby Show on NBC and FOX's The Simpsons. If that
wasn't enough, The Flash was preempted by Christmas specials
and the Desert Storm war in Iraq and constantly moved all over the
schedule that it couldn't find its audience and thus cancelled after
its first and only season. Warner Brothers released the series in a
6-disc DVD box set on January 10, 2006.
