Talk:The Flash (1990 TV series)

Combined episodes
The Flash II: Revenge of the Trickster and Flash III: Deadly Nightshade were actually just combinations of earlier episodes of the series. Flash II - "The Trickster" and "Trial of the Trickster" and Flash III -"Ghost in the Machine" and "The Deadly Nightshade".

No problem. I am glad to see you started a seperate page for the TV show. I am new at editing pages on Wiki and I am learning as I go. The early media sections for The Flash and Trickster before yesterday were very badly written. Prank had a bigger entry than the Trickster himself! At first I just re-worded some things than I realized it made more sense to combine the Trickster and Prank entries together into an overall description of the episodes. Which meant I needed to add more details. Avilos 10 January 2006

I added a couple of lines about fan response and the demise of the series for those who don't know or remember why it only lasted one season. I just bought the DVD and hopefully I can add to the episode summary to finish that section out. Luke Cage 19:36, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Flashdvd.jpg
Image:Flashdvd.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

South Korea
When I was in South Korea in the 1990s, I saw that somebody had the nerve to make certain episodes into feature-length films that were shown in the theaters there. It was pretty neat, though, as that's how I saw four episodes when I was over there. In Europe, the show was still airing as "new" in the UK on some channel when I visited in 1994. Only one episode a week promoted as new. Coffee5binky (talk) 07:55, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Extreme Violence
I recently picked up the DVD box set of The Flash to show to my niece and nephews when I babysit for them. Before I brought it over, I figured I should watch the first episode, since I hadn't seen it since it originally aired. I was shocked. Over the course of the two-hour pilot movie, more than a dozen police officers are brutally murdered. This, on a prime-time show aimed at a family audience. Needless to say, I did not show it to them. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against violence on tv. Still, I've read The Flash comic books and they are never as violent as this pilot movie. The only death that's even necessary to move the plot forward is that of Barry's brother. All the rest were just there, and served no real purpose.Wyldstaar (talk) 20:07, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Merge with List of The Flash episodes
With just one season and not much information expanded, it should be logical that the main article should merge with List of The Flash episodes. With Category:Flash (comics) television series is currently underpopulated, might as well delete it and put two categories in its place:Category:Television programs based on DC Comics and Category:Flash (comics) in other media.--NeoBatfreak (talk) 20:10, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

Colour contrast problems
It seems that this article is using colours in the infobox which don't satisfy Wikipedia's accessibility guidelines. The contrast between the foreground colour and the background colour is low, which means that it may be difficult or impossible for people with visual impairments to read it.

To correct this problem, a group of editors have decided to remove support for invalid colours from Template:Infobox television season and other television season templates after 1 September 2015. If you would still like to use custom colours for the infobox and episode list in this article after that date, please ensure that the colours meet the WCAG AAA standard.

To test whether a colour combination is AAA-compliant you can use Snook's colour contrast tool. If your background colour is dark, then please test it against a foreground colour of "FFFFFF" (white). If it is light, please test it against a foreground colour of "000000" (black). The tool needs to say "YES" in the box for "WCAG 2 AAA Compliant" when you input the foreground and the background colour. You can generally make your colour compliant by adjusting the "Value (%)" fader in the middle box.

Please be sure to change the invalid colour in every place that it appears, including the infobox, the episode list, and the series overview table. If you have any questions about this, please ask on Template talk:Infobox television season. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 05:30, 2 August 2015 (UTC)
