Newtype Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 SCI FI Channel has greenlit production on "Flash Gordon," based on the popular comic strip franchise, it was announced today at the Television Critic's Association tour. Production on the 22 one-hour episodes begins in Canada in early 2007. The series, produced by Reunion Pictures, is slated to debut on SCI FI in July of '07, with a broadcast syndication window to follow. Under an agreement with property owner King Features Syndicate, the new series is being produced by RHI's Robert Halmi, Sr. and Robert Halmi, Jr., who previously produced SCI FI's popular miniseries event "Legend of Earthsea." Ming, Dale Arden, and Dr. Hans Zarkov are among the many beloved characters returning to television in this contemporary retelling of the intergalactic exploits of "Flash Gordon." Stellar adventures and heroic battles mark this inventive new take on the perennial science fiction classic. The "Flash Gordon" comic strip was created in 1934 by legendary comic-strip artist Alex Raymond and is still distributed internationally today by King Features Syndicate I just hope it turns out to be good.
Iambaytor Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 I'm just hoping that this incarnation of Flash wears pants.
Newtype Posted February 1, 2007 Author Posted February 1, 2007 I'm just hoping that this incarnation of Flash wears pants. Your thinking of Flesh Gordon.
Iambaytor Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 Your thinking of Flesh Gordon. Like fuck I am. we typically get tights or the Flash Gordon man panties. Though he has worn actual pants on several occasions.

Reverend Jax Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 Anyone know if Flash Gordon's getting a second season? It was a guilty pleasure of mine....
Reverend Jax Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 Anyone know if Flash Gordon's getting a second season? It was a guilty pleasure of mine.... Well, according to Wikipedia On April 3, 2008, it was announced that Flash Gordon was cancelled. Can't say I'm too surprised. It was a bit cheeseball and fans of SciFi original shows have come to expect better.
Iambaytor Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 Can't say I'm too surprised. It was a bit cheeseball and fans of SciFi original shows have come to expect better. They have? Did they SEE the movie?
