Beauty and the Beast is a 1980s CBS TV series produced by Republic Pictures (and later integrated into the library of Spelling Television when Spelling Entertainment Group bought Republic in 1994), loosely inspired by the fairy tale of the same name but set in modern-day New York City. The series lasted from September, 1987 to August, 1990. A total of 56 episodes in three seasons.The premise was simple. Catherine Chandler (Linda Hamilton), a lawyer at her wealthy father's firm, is abducted, beaten and left to die in Central Park. She is then rescued by Vincent (Ron Perlman), a leonine member of a secret community of outcasts living in tunnels under the city ("The World Below"). The series then focused partly on the attraction between the two characters, and partly on the cases Catherine encountered in her new career as an assistant district attorney, facing crime drama situations that affect both her world and his.Many of the episodes were penned by none other than George R. R. Martin, who later became famous for his A Song of Ice and Fire series of novels.A remake/reinterpretation of this series, starring Kristin Kreuk and Jay Ryan and produced by CBS Television Studios (now known as CBS Studios, the current owner of the Spelling Television library), premiered Fall 2012 on The CW. Its page can be found here. All tropes for the new series should be placed there. | |

Arbitrary Skepticism | |
| Beauty and the Beast (1987) / int_13eea985 | comment |
Arbitrary Skepticism: For someone whose lover is a lion man with psychic powers, Catherine is awfully skeptical of ghosts in "When the Blue Bird Sings". The episode plays on Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane, but by the end it's strongly suggested she was wrong and the painter really was a ghost. | |

A Scar to Remember | |
| Beauty and the Beast (1987) / int_165379c5 | comment |
A Scar to Remember: In the pilot Catherine is kidnapped off the street by thugs who have mistaken her for a woman scheduled to testify against their boss in court. They make a number of ugly cuts on Catherine's face, intended to serve as a reminder every time she looks in a mirror for her to keep her mouth shut. After she is saved by Vincent and Father and returns to the World Above, Catherine gets expert plastic surgery, but one scar remains below her ear, and when she locates the witness she was mistaken for, she shows her the scar, saying, "I think this was meant for you." Catherine later declines to have the last scar removed when given the option, saying she doesn't want to forget how much her life has changed. | |

Wainscot Society: The denizens of the "World Below" have their own society but also interact occasionally with surface dwellers. It was loosely based on stories about a deep tunnel system underneath Manhattan meant for an early 19th Century version of a subway train that was never completed, which have become a home to the city's homeless. | |

There was a new attractive female lead in the person of Diana, but she and Vincent weren't a couple and she didn't appear in the new introductory sequence. | |

| Beauty and the Beast (1987) / int_4781adbb | comment |
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Eliot Burch, an ex-boyfriend of Catherine's who worked his way up to be a rich real estate developer. He occasionally clashes with The World Below with his development projects, and he occasionally has legal run-ins that draw Catherine's attention. He also still loves her in his own way and actually does her a favor or two hoping to stay in her good graces, basically becoming a unknowing rival to Vincent. When Catherine dies, Eliot tries to pursue the criminal conspiracy responsible for her death but Gabriel turns the tables to break Eliot's own financial empire, forcing Eliot to set a trap for Vincent. When they meet, Vincent reveals to Eliot that Catherine thought of him as a friend, which compels him to warn Vincent it's a trap before dying in the explosion meant for them both. | |

Absurdly Spacious Sewer | |
| Beauty and the Beast (1987) / int_87e661e8 | comment |
Absurdly-Spacious Sewer: Sometimes it's the sewers. Sometimes it's the storm drains, and sometimes it's an abandoned section of the subways. The implication is that all the systems link together through walled-up, forgotten areas. The inhabitants of "The World Below" have had years, possibly centuries, to dig the tunnels and install the chandeliers and spiral staircases. | |

Hell, even Catherine suffers this by the end, although it isn't the birth that kills her, but a morphine injection by the doctor who oversaw the birth, who's a minion of Big Bad Gabriel. | |

Evil Counterpart | |
| Beauty and the Beast (1987) / int_9b54d536 | comment |
Evil Counterpart: Paracelsus is this to Father. They were both involved in creating the hidden society in the World Below. However, Paracelsus became obsessed with modeling a perfect - and morally bankrupt - community and desired absolute power, which forced Father and the others to exile him. Also an Evil Former Friend. | |

For Halloween, I Am Going as Myself: Vincent gets to wander around in the episode "Masquerades", and he and Catherine almost kiss at dawn, until they are spotted by a jogger who comments, "Halloween was last night, man!" George R. R. Martin says that they hoped to do the same thing every season on a Halloween episode, but that didn't pan out. | |

Can't Have Sex, Ever | |
| Beauty and the Beast (1987) / int_eee99653 | comment |
Can't Have Sex, Ever: It's strongly implied that Vincent's passions would sufficiently overpower his will such that, combined with his great strength and claws, he could well seriously injure or kill anyone he has sex with. Averted by the end of the series; Vincent and Catherine have obviously had sex offscreen at some point as she becomes pregnant and gives birth to their child. She dies soon after giving birth, but not due to the birth itself, and it's never stated or even implied that sex with Vincent harmed her. To be fair, most of the previously mentioned implications were made by Vincent, who was never very good at believing the best in himself. | |

The Un-Favourite: Vincent's childhood friend and surrogate brother Devin was constantly singled out for criticism by Father as a boy, which is part of the reason he ran away to travel the world. It is revealed Father was unfairly harsh with Devin because he is his biological father and he didn't want to show favoritism so he overcorrected into not favoring Devin at all, not even making him aware of the fact they were related by blood. Also, there may have been a bit of Maternal Death? Blame the Child! involved. | |

In the new dynamic, Vincent has no romantic bond at all with Diana, while her budding attraction to him is mostly just suggested by her having a recurrent dream about him. | |
