"Beauty and the Beast" TV Intro

Beauty and the Beast is an American television series which first aired on CBS in 1987. Creator Ron Koslow's updated version of the fairy tale has a double focus: the relationship between Vincent (Ron Perlman), a mythic, noble man-beast, and his Catherine (Linda Hamilton), a savvy assistant District attorney in New York; and a secret Utopian community of social outcasts living in a subterranean sanctuary. Through an empathic bond, Vincent senses Catherine's emotions, and becomes her guardian. The series follows the developing relationship between the characters and the division between New York and the hidden world beneath it. In a twist from the original tale, however, this "beast" does not transform into society's idea of beauty after gaining the love of Catherine. Rather, Vincent's inner beauty is allowed to remain the focus of who he is, and it is Catherine's life which transforms from her relationship to Vincent. Vincent's makeup was devised by veteran Hollywood makeup artist Rick Baker.

The first time I saw this clip, I literally cried...it touched me so deeply, missing the times before as a child, where I always watched the show weekly, every Saturday ABC channel 5 9pm-10pm. I'm glad at the same time, to remember those lovely times, which makes me search for uploaded videos here of each episodes. I was hooked that I wanted to download each episode in my PC. This is a very good show, I wanted my kids to see this also to share them the happiness I felt each time I watched it.

I remember this show, I was 7 when it started. I remember thinking the beast was a bad ass and the only episode I remember today was him fighting someone who was pretending to be him. Very strange concept for a show now that I look back on it, but man I miss those days watching TV with my family as a kid.
