I like when they release television shows on dvd that no one remembers. Well I remember this show because my mom used to watch it all the time and it scared the shit out of me. How do you explain Beauty and the Beast? Well if you think it is similar to the movie (the one where candles sing and dance and clocks say witty things), then you are somewhat right. Pretty much the television show was teenage mutant ninja turtles meets Romeo and Juliet meets that Goo Goo Dolls song Iris (god I loved that song back in the day).
Essentially the plot is about Vincent who is a cat like man-beast who is a noble man and lives in the sewers and Catherine, an assistant district attorney working in New York. Pretty much Catherine is over worked, doesn't have a life, etc then meets man-cat-beast living in the sewers. Love becomes inevitable. The scary part about the entire series is that Vincent remains the beast throughout the 3 seasons, allowing his inner beauty to remain the focus instead of a dying flower and witch casting a spell on a castle. So as a young child watching a cat-man-beast really can begin to get to you.
Now available in non-sewer dvd stores everywhere.
