The New Beauty and The Beast

Ok so I am a bit of a romantic sap, but I was a fan of the original Beauty and the Beast tv series during the late 80s. Earlier tonight the pilot for the new version of the series was on. I DVRed it and will probably watch it before going to bed. I hope they dont screw it up. Everytime hollywood remakes one of my favorite movies or tv people decide to remake one of my favorite tv shows they almost always screw it up and I end up disappointed in their versions.

The newer battlestar galactica was good, the new v series was good, although they cancelled it after 2 seasons. But now there the new version of Beauty and the Beast. So I will give it a shot and see if its worh watching. I read up on the premis behind its story and it sounds promising.

Newer isn't always better.

I just got done watching the pilot episode and I must say that I am honestly impressed with this re-imagining of Beauty and The Beast. I like its updated premis and story. So far it mixes action and complex characters and still has the romantic aspect that made the original series so popular with saps like me. I think this series is going to be a winner.

ETA: Maybe I shouldnt be giving this series such a glowing review. Everytime I like a new series they end up cancelling it like they did with rubicon after one season and the re-imaging of v after 2 seasons.
