Along with early frontrunners ARROW and THE CARRIE DIARIES, I hear BEAUTY & THE BEAST came in good and is picking up momentumshare
Various places are now showing this as a definite pickup.

Dear all of you,
why not give this show a chance? Stop complaining before it's even made. It probably won't be like 'our' BatB, but it's not pretending to be either since it's not a remake.
Give it a chance or give it a rest. We have 'our' BatB on dvd's and in our hearts, but that time has passed. It's not 1987-1990 anymore.
I'm a BatB fan since day one, but I am excited for this new BatB.
...erm, the problem is that it is a remake/reboot/regurgitation/whatever.
The ABC version(the one with Darius) was just another reinterpretation of the story, and I was actually quite looking forward to seeing it. I guess that as "Once Upon A Time" got a well-deserved second season and was already covering the tale ABC felt they had enough Fairy Tale Land on the schedules.
You could be right - most people (though not me) had written off Ron Moore's BSG before it aired - but I'm not holding my breath.

@Treg1980 -All the promotions for this show claimed to be based on the 87 show, but I disagree -While it is still a B&B type theme, the pilot scenario I've read sounded awful -If they had called the main characters names other than Catherine & Vincent I wouldn't take it so much to heart -I will watch the first ep to see how it is -If it's good, then fine, but I still can't view it as a re-make of 'our' show, but only as 'a' B&B themed show -I think a lot could've been done with a true re-make (still updated, but more like the original character descriptions & storyline) -Basically, it's just not what I'd hoped for

Dear all of you,
why not give this show a chance?
Another annoyance is that this new show's existence pretty much crushes any hope of a "true to the source" remake/sequel any time in the near future.
