Starring: Linda Hamilton Ron Perlman
| 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. This three disc collection includes all 12 episodes from The Final Season of Beauty and the Beast! |
"There's no way a "perfect love" like Vincent's and Catherine's could ever really exist, but it certainly makes for a nice fantasy... Mac McEntire, DVD Verdict

Editor's Note
A time-tested fairytale received a modern-day update--and made an unlikely sex symbol of bearish actor Ron Perlman--in the late-1980s television drama BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. Created by Ron Koslow (BIRDS OF PREY), the series centers on the love between New York district attorney Catherine Chandler (Linda Hamilton, THE TERMINATOR) and a deformed but chivalric man-beast named Vincent (Perlman, CITY OF LOST CHILDREN), who lives in the city's labyrinthine underground passageways along with an entire community of fellow outcasts. As Catherine's crime-fighting duties frequently place her in mortal danger, Vincent is there to save her from harm and share a star-crossed love that can never be consummated, providing the series with much of its achingly romantic appeal. Fueled by equal parts mystery, romance, and fantasy, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST is resurrected in this collection that presents the series' third and final season.
