ABC has bought a show based on the fairy tale Beauty and the Beast, developed by "Jericho" writer Jonathan E. Steinberg.
Here's the story: http://www.tvguide.com/News/ABC-Beauty-Beast-1037170.aspx
What do you guys think? Do we need or want another BatB show? Is it necessary when we already have our beloved CBS show?
"He's already attracted to her. Time and monotony will do the rest."
I'm not sure how to feel about this -I'll reserve judgement until I see it -Thanks so much for the link!
shareIf this idea was to ever actually materialize, the show could never be as good as the original; few remakes or imitations ever are. Television writers today don't have the complexity or ability of writers 20 years ago, which is why the majority of tv today is trash compared to past shows. Everything today has to include too much language, too much filth, too much senseless and mindless stuff. The original series was very well done and very well written. The stories were exciting and had a way of drawing you in. The level of romance, culture, adventure, fantasy, and action couldn't be matched in today's tv world.
shareHave to disagree there. There's plenty of great stuff on TV (admittedly there's also plenty of AWFUL stuff). In fact, I'm recording far more than I'll ever have time to watch.
Not everything I enjoy conforms to your "sex and/or violence = bad" idea, but I'd steer you in the direction of "Once Upon A Time".
I think we remember the shows we loved and forget about the rubbish that surrounded them. Here in the UK I'm pretty sure that "The Dukes of Hazzard" ran at the same time as BatB...
No tears please, it's a waste of good suffering.share
