There have been hundreds of romantic television series since the beginning ov broadcast tv. I could list them here, but for me and those at the Holiday Network there is one television series that towers over all of the others. It seemed that it set out to become the most romantic show ever and for those of us who watched it during its first run on television we would say that it achieved that goal.
The show is Beauty and The Beast. Do not confuse it with the sad and pale reboot on the CW network. The orginal starring Linda Hamilton and Ron Perlman is one of a kind. The thing that has kept it from becoming an all time classic is that it ended poorly. the network that produced it wanted to continue the show without Linda Hamilton and decided for a reason that still boggles the mind to kill her character off rather than having the two characters walk off into the sunset together. A grand retelling of a fairy tale that missed out on a fairy tale ending. That said, the seasons that the leads were together are gold and I would like to share this as a Valentines gift to all the romantics out there.
We do not have broadcast rights to this show so I would suggest that fans of the show track it down online and invested in the complete series box set.
You may also wish to visit the original source material in the form of the French film that is consider the best version of the Beauty and The Beast fable.
There is a brand new version of the story that has been shown in Europe, but has yet to reach the USA. This version looks stunning.
