  • "Flash Gordon" was an animated series produced from 1979 to 1980. 24 half-hour episodes were produced in two seasons. "Flash Gordon" is the title seen on screen, although the series is now known by a variety of names, including "The Adventures of Flash Gordon" and "The New Adventures of Flash Gordon". In fact, each source seems to have a different variation on the name. The 2006 DVD box set calls the show "Flash Gordon", which is the title given on screen. The official Hearst Entertainment site calls the show "The Adventures of Flash Gordon". Wikipedia favors "The New Adventures of Flash Gordon". TV.com calls it "The Animated Adventures of Flash Gordon", and IMDB.com combines all the titles and calls it "The New Animated Adventures of Flash Gordon". Filmation produced the series in 1979, partly as a reaction to the mammoth success of "Star Wars" in 1977. The series was an homage to the original "Flash Gordon" comic strip and featured most of the original characters, including Flash's girlfriend Dale Arden, and the scientist Dr. Hans Zarkov. The original project was produced as an animated TV-movie. When NBC saw the finished work, it was decided to turn the concept into a series. The original movie, which introduced the characters and brought Flash, Dale and Zarkov to Mongo, was held back until 1982, when it aired as "Flash Gordon: The Greatest Adventure of All". Therefore, the opening of the series as broadcast is rather abrupt -- the characters are all on Mongo, already engaged in adventures. In the series, Flash and company are forced into battle by Mongo's ruler, Ming the Merciless, his daughter Princess Aura, and his army of Metal Men. To help their cause, the heroes lead the formation of an alliance beginning with Prince Thun, leader of the Lion Men; Prince Barin, leader of Arboria; and King Vultan, ruler of the Hawk Men. Three members of the voice cast reprised their roles from the TV-movie: Robert Ridgely as Flash, Diane Pershing as Dale, and Melendy Britt as Aura. When a second season of episodes was ordered, NBC insisted that the serial format be dropped and that the stories be written for a more juvenile level. This resulted in the addition of the pet dragon Gremlin, an artist in nose-blown smoke. This second season of episodes was not well received and the program was canceled after completion of the second season run. The entire series has recently been released on DVD, as "Flash Gordon: The Complete Series".
