Actually, I enjoyed the original Flash series. There were some difficulties with characters staying consistant in there interactions with each other, but for the most part it was fun.
Yes, John Wesley Shipp, who played Barry Allen is now playing Barry's father in the new show, and recently Amanda Pays, who played Dr. Tina McGee in the original series made a guest appearance on the new show as... Dr. Tina McGee.
One of the problems with the series was that the relationship between Barry and Tina didn't really progress in a linear manner. You were never quite sure if the particular writer of the episode saw that as just friends, or as something building to more and that led to some confusion from episode to episode.
If you can get a good deal on it I would definitely recommend it for a few evenings of light entertainment.
Tank (who says it didn't hurt that Amanda Pays was also quite attractive, in a Lois Laneish short of way)
