• Let’s hope the Beast does not reside in the sewers in this one.

• Please. Stop with this insanity. STOP. Let’s find some original voices with original stories to do something I don’t know… ORIGINAL?

  • The thing is there isnt anything completely original now and anything new is really just an old plotline with different characters,settings etc. If you are going to do say a story about a disfigured creature and its companion its always going to be regarded as a beauty and the beast take even if the beast was a powerful alien seeking to become human and the companion a female human whom it captures then they fall in love as they try to survive a wild and ravaged earth 200 years in the future.

    Man I should be a writer. I bet I see this on TV 2 years from now. LoL

• Oh and this is so different from the Ron Koslow show (1987-1990)? What’s next? “The Gingerbread Man” with Seth Green? “The Golden Goose” Starring Loni Anderson? or “The Snow Queen” with Michele Bachman?

• I love Beauty and The Beast, was one of my favorite cartoons, besides the Smurfs….in the end it is not just the outside that makes someone beautiful, but the inside and their heart counts too. This is good, it encourages people to look into their hearts again and examine the quality of it! Good luck!

• I agree – for the love of all that is sacred please networks deliver something original (or continue to watch your audience erode to cable). However, you fuckers also need to tune in of you want more original content and quit bitching while more fireflys and arrested developments get canned

• Unfortunately originality doesn’t exist anymore.

  All studios green light are basically reboots, remakes, and spin-offs.

  Original programming doesn’t seem to survive on this new era of Network Television.

• I’d love to see BEAUTY AND THE BEAST re-imagined, hopefully to no longer teach girls that a violent, abusive man can change if you just stick with him.
