    Editorial Reviews

    Ranked 14th in TV Guide's list of the top 25 all-time cult favorites, Beauty and the Beast launched the first of its three seasons on September 25, 1987, on CBS. Putting a modern twist to the "beauty meets beast" fable, the series starred Linda Hamilton as corporate attorney and socialite Catherine Chandler, and Ron Perlman as the mysterious, lion-like creature Vincent. In the series opener "Once Upon a Time in the City of New York," Catherine is abducted by thugs after being mistaken for someone else while she walks through Central Park. After being beaten and having her face slashed, she's left for dead. Emerging from the safety of the tunnels beneath the city, Vincent rescues Catherine and tends her wounds. They discover that they share an empathic -- and eventually romantic -- bond, despite Vincent's initially frightening appearance. Because of this, he remains hidden in the world underneath the city, where he lives with his mentor, "Father" Jacob Wells (Roy Dotrice). Much of the credit for making the series into more than just a monster tale goes to Perlman, who brings Vincent to life despite heavy prosthetic makeup that obscures his actual features. Romantic, well written, and a thinly veiled analogy for acceptance in current society, Beauty and the Beast is both a love story and great dramatic television. Christina Urban, Barnes & Noble

    October 12, 2009: Who can forget the wonders of Vincent's world and the agony of the lovers who are spiritually linked yet unable to be together in the Katherine's world? As always, Ron Perlman is outstanding. Being a hopeful romantic, I have tears in my eyes at the end of each episode. I'm saving Season Two for a rainy weekend.

    July 27, 2009: I named my son after the character "Vincent!" I loved this love story so much. Great stories of good vs evil with interesting characters. Too bad it ended so soon. I am thrilled to see the DVD series.
