Every DC Comics TV Show EVER Ranked From Worst To Best

19. The Flash (1990)

DC TV Shows
CBS

John Wesley Shipp ran away with the biggest role of his esteemed career when he brought the Scarlet Speedster to life on the short-lived CBS gem that was The Flash.

Adapting Barry Allen's origin story, elements of the show were perfectly in line with '80s/'90s superhero movies while occasional aspects of it felt even slightly dated for then.

All in all, however, The Flash is an underrated gem of its era with a brilliant leading performance from Wesley Shipp that really did deserve more love than it initially got. Thankfully, it has received it in the years following its premature end.
