Who Asked For This?: Beauty and The Beast TV Series Reboot


I need a 3 piece and biscuit! Word is CW (of all places)is rebooting Beauty and the Beast. Hera help me:
Sources confirm to TVLine exclusively that CBS Television Studios is developing a reboot of the ’80s cult classic Beauty and the Beast for The CW.



The original series, which ran on CBS from 1987 to 1990, starred Ron Perlman as the mythic man beast and Linda Hamilton as the object of his affection.

The new version will not only modernize and CW-up the love story but also add a procedural twist. Nice pedigree, too: Without a Trace vet Jennifer Levin and Brothers & Sisters‘ Sherri Cooper will pen the script and serve as executive producers.

I’m told this was the first project new CW president Mark Pedowitz discussed with CBS Studios head David Staph when he succeeded Dawn Ostroff in the spring. Side note: This B&B is not to be confused with the B&B pilot that ABC is developing for next season. That one is based on the public domain fairy tale about a girl forced to live in a castle with a beast who eventually wins her heart.
 No! Just Say No!

Why don't we just remake every old show and movie and call it a day?
That way no one would have to come up with a new idea ever.

They dont have the talent in HWOOD writing at the moment to do it justice.

Nor could they get two brilliant character actors to play the parts.

Crystal Ball SAYS..............HOT MESS!! - Worse than the WW reboot.
