    • Trivia
      Ron Perlman's make-up took four hours to apply each episode.
    • Goofs
      In the World Below there are often active steam grates, pipes with valves, and sometimes control panels for sewer and water. Even in the most neglected city, eventually maintenance workers would have to check these areas and thus learn the existence of the subterranean world.
    • Quotes

      Father: [referring to Vincent's relationship with Catherine] I sometimes feel that I'm standing on the bank of a raging river watching you try to swim across. How can I not worry? I'd be a fool. And yet, Vincent, sometimes I have to marvel at your courage.

      Vincent: Catherine swims across that river as well. She faces the same dangers, shows the same courage. And in many ways the toll on her is even greater.

      Father: You really think that's so?

      Vincent: On the other side of the river there is no one standing on the bank watching. On her side of the river there is no one praying for a safe passage. On her side of the river, Father, there is no one but Catherine.

      Father: Then I shall stand watch, and pray, for both of you.

    I have always been a fan.

    I thought this television series was well done and family oriented. Yes, it was overly romantic and may have been "sappy" to some viewers; but that was a large part of its appeal then and still is today. I was very surprised that this series was not on DVD.

    It is probably better for family viewing than half the material that is out on DVD from a television series. If there are plans to release "Beauty and The Beast" on DVD, it should be released immediately and is long over due. I'm sure that there are many people out there who have forgotten about this series like myself, due to it not being shown on cable or satellite television in many viewing areas. Yet, we have not forgotten the wonderful exchanges between two (2) character's who had a romantic chemistry and truly grew to love each other; a love that our current society needs to find a lot more of.

    If you here anything regarding the DVD collection please post info or drop me a line. Thank you.
