Beauty and the Beast - The Final Season (1987)

ALRIGHT

This is extremely sad to watch. Not at all as good at the first two. But, it tells you how catherine dies and how and if beast get his son back.. July 23, 2008

"QUIET THE PIPES"

thus spake the feline lovin' father of vincent in one of this FINAL season's awe-fully compelling episodes . witness LANCE HENRIKSON as "snow" endeavour to undermine the true exploits of our outsized mammalian . did u know that VINCENT'S pops has a DAUGHTER even hotter than LINDA HAMILTON ? vince tried to defile her as an impulsive youth . that's a previous season though . when well educated (evidently home schooled) , melting pot , underground folk with sensational hair adorn themselves in european renaissance clothing and excel in liberal arts , fun will ensue . GOD I LOVE THIS SERIES . ***** SUPERSTARS . July 13, 2008

Diana is a breath of fresh air

I'm glad this season finally came out on dvd since my video tapes no longer play. While it was sad at first to see Catherine no longer in the story, I have always been a fan of Diana. As romantic as Catherine/Vincent was, I think Diana has the backbone needed to stand up to Vincent and eventually tell him to get over himself in regards to his Byronic Hero tendencies, i.e. his "we can't be together because of what I am, oh woe is me" drivel. It might have been romantic when I was a teenager, but in my thirties, I have quickly gotten over it. Someone needed to drive some sense into Vincent's head, and frankly, Catherine was never going to be that person. I think Diana could have been that person. She is the precursor to Beth in Ron Koslow's latest endeavor, Moonlight. May 9, 2008

Disappointing Effort

Season one and two of this TV series stayed true to the heart of the story. Unfortunately, Season three did not. The writers did a good job creating Catherine's exit but seemed to get lost trying to craft a path for Vincent alone. Only die hard fans can enjoy the complete DVD. May 6, 2008

Finally coming to terms...

It's been over 20 years since BATB originally came on the air. (I was just entering my teen years at the time.) As a kid growing up under difficult circumstances, this show opened my eyes to the possibility of being more than I ever thought I could be. Corny as it may be - I believe this show made me a better person. With that said, it has taken me 18 years to come to terms with the death of Catherine Chandler. LOL. I was one who wrote in to CBS trying to "save the show," and when Linda Hamilton left, and Catherine died, my teenage psyche was too young to handle her loss. Had I known - I probably would have preferred a really good "happily ever-after" tv movie to wrap up the show.

Now as a woman - I was finally able to watch the last 12 episodes and come to terms with the changes in the show. (Yes, I am aware this is fiction!) Obviously, the tone of BATB changed with the loss of Catherine, but her presence was always underlying. Overall I enjoyed watching the final 12 shows, independent of the first two seasons.

I agree with those who said that they could have added some special features to all 3 seasons(season 2 does offer some VERY SHORT interview sections with Ron Perlman & Linda Hamilton) and that the cost of Season 3 should be reduced considering it's only 3 DVD's. May 5, 2008
