Beauty and the Beast: 1987-1990: She was a beautiful Assistant DA with a sweet balcony. He was a Beast, and he lived underground in a utopian community of outsiders (it was the ’80s, today he’d have his own show called Vincent Is Half-Man Half-Beast And Single.) They could never be together, but they would never be apart, whatever that means, and even though I never watched the show, I spent my tween years seriously creeped out by its bestiality premise (they had a kid together!) Anyway, last night as I was falling asleep I remembered this show existed and bet myself five bucks it was huge on YouTube, and won.

I was going to do a Top 10, but who are we kidding. I watched all of them and they’re all the same, but this one is the best because of the longing, the “caution” warning, and Angry Vincent Face:

    Are you sure this show isn’t called Hugging?

  4. My mom used to watch this show and I just had some wicked flashbacks watching that video. Its making me sad that I was Teen Wolf for Halloween last year because Vincent would be a great (terrible?) costume. I wasted my wolf!
