In 1987, CBS decided to air Beauty and the Beast—a modernized version of the timeless "Beauty and the Beast" fairy tale. The series starred Linda Hamilton as an Assistant District Attorney who falls in love with Ron Pearlman, who of course plays the titular "Beast." Beauty and the Beast was a straight-faced drama that couldn't help coming off campy (the picture above spells that our clearly.) Although the series only ran for three seasons, it has since become a cult favorite.
