DVD Review: For Who Could Ever Learn to Love a Beast?
Summary: 5 Stars

I know this is a line from the highly successful 1992 Disney movie of the same name but oh how I adored this show!!!! The rich shallow socialite does a complete Cinderella in reverse and goes into the District Attorney's office, an act which ennobled her in my eyes. The Beast was not horrific or hideous but an educated, talented and very human man who just happened to have some additional strengths (such as claws, fangs and enormous strength, as well as the empathic bond he shared with Catherine). Perhaps these are the ramblings of the impressionable teenager i was at the time but I will always adore Linda and Ron for bringing these roles to life and proving that the world could be a beautiful place....even if for just one hour a week.

DVD Review: Wonderful!
Summary: 4 Stars

First of all, I am absolutely THRILLED to finally be able to view--and dream over--this beautiful, magical series, once again. The writers, editors, producers, etc., are still to be congratulated on their work, even 20 years later. (Has it really been that long?!)

That having been said, however, I am disappointed that the episodes were not redigitalized, or whatever, to make them visually crisper. The visual, and to a lesser extent, the audio quality has obviously deteriorated over the years. But I am still grateful for what I HAVE been given!

DVD Review: Best TV Show Ever
Summary: 5 Stars

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!

DVD Review: I AM IN LOVE WITH A LION
Summary: 5 Stars

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.

Description of Beauty and the Beast - The Complete First Season

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.
"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
