Editorial Review:

Description:
The Beauty and the Beast TV show was a fantasy series about a man-beast (Vincent) and his love for a beautiful assistant district attorney (Catherine Chandler). Vincent lived in an underground world beneath New York City where his gruesome looks were less important to his peers than were his caring and benevolent personality. Together, Vincent and Catherine had many adventures both above and below ground level and their love for each other continued to grow.

Amazon.com:
"Once upon a time... in the city of New York." So begins this unique fantasy-crime series. Catherine (Emmy nominee Linda Hamilton, The Terminator) is an assistant DA who's attacked one night by strangers. When she wakes up, her face is covered in bandages. Someone named Vincent (Golden Globe winner Ron Perlman) has been taking care of her in his home beneath the subway. When she removes the dressing, she finds that he's a man-beast, but fear turns to trust when she becomes convinced he has her best interests at heart. As she states in the introduction, "We have a bond stronger than friendship or love." As the season unfolds, Vincent frequently comes to Catherine's assistance. As an empath, he knows instinctively when she's in trouble. When he needs help, Vincent turns to Father (Roy Dotrice), the doctor who raised him after he was abandoned at the hospital after he was born. His origins are unknown. Together, Catherine and Vincent are like the detectives of Remington Steele, except no one knows she's part of a team, since they're only able to meet in secret. Vincent's underground companions, however, get to know Catherine well. Just as Vincent comes to her aid as needed, she does the same for his community.

Although Beauty and the Beast has little in common with the Jean Cocteau film or Disney animated picture, the appeal is similar. Cynics may find these do-gooders sentimental, especially when Catherine utters lines like, "And although we cannot be together, we will never, ever be apart." But romantics made the CBS drama successful--at least until Hamilton left in the second year--and launched the Emmy-nominated Perlman into cult favorites like The City of Lost Children. Oscar winner Rick Baker (An American Werewolf in London) also deserves credit for his convincing make-up effects. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best TV Show Ever
I loved this show 20 years ago and love having the complete series on DVD. I don't even regret buying all three seasons separately, because I wouldn't have had the patience to wait. But on 9/30/08 they are releasing a box set at a great price. Absolutely worth it. Even the shorted 3rd season has some redeeming features!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I AM IN LOVE WITH A LION
What can I say, He certainly captured my heart, this is a wonderful series, I wish they would make a follow up of the story which carried on from the last, would be interesting to see how it could develope, RON PERLMAN is just wonderful as VINCENT and that voice is to die for. recommend all 3 series, absolutely wonderful. from a fan in the UK.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - the upside of beastiality
just starting to watch this gem for the first time via our local library . evidently vincent's father made sweet love to a large animal in the cat family . clearly we must work more diligently to accept inter-species love relationships . i wonder if hate legislation is currently either on the books or underway to protect this magnificent love from man's inhumanity to his fellow animals . charming and romantic in the extreme . brilliantly realized carnal adventure for the hole family .



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A romantic world of candlelight and poetry
This was one of the first "grownup" TV shows I remember taking an interest in back when it came out (I was seven). At the time, I was entranced by the visuals, but the more adult elements (romance, intimacy, and urban problems of poverty and discrimination) were lost on me. However, as soon as I heard that Beauty and the Beast had been released to DVD, I rushed out to buy a copy, and the stories and lush visuals don't disappoint.

In the TV series, the role of Beauty is Catherine Chandler ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Enter A Time When Love Was More Than An Act
Epic fantasy, and romanticism on a grand scale were hallmarks of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, and despite the fact that, in the first season at least, there was not so much as one 'real' kiss between the two phenomenal lead actors ( Linda Hamilton, and Ron Perlman ), the State of New York could have been lit up with the electricity generated by them.

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST was also blessed with wonderful supporting actors, excellent writing, great music, and ( for the time ) second-to-none production ... Read More
