As you can see, CW will be running encore episodes of not only the “Flash” series but also the “Arrow” episodes in which Barry Allen aka the Flash, made appearances in. This is a good strategy by the network to get ratings and to make sure viewers will get multiple chances to watch the series, just in case they missed out on the episodes the first time around.
The “Flash” series debuts Tuesday Oct. 7. The series will star Grant Gustin, Candice Patton, Rick Cosnett, Danielle Panabaker, Jesse L. Martin, Stephen Amell, Michelle Harrison, and John Wesley Shipp (the original 90’s Flash).
