The CW’s Beauty and the Beast is based loosely, very loosely, on the late 1980’s CBS show of the same name that starred Linda Hamilton as New York Assistant District Attorney Catherine Chandler and Ron Perlman as Vincent, the noble beast whom she fell in love with. Created by Ron Koslow, the 80’s show was a fairy tale love story between a spoiled rich girl turned crusader after a vicious attack and the man who became her protector. The show was filled with some terrific costume and set design including the world of “Down Below” where Vincent lived with outcasts from above. Did I mention how little the new version mirrors the original?

Providing us a set-up not all that dissimilar to Country Strong (minus the trip to rehab and with a hearty extra helping of soap opera suds), the “Pilot” episode of Nashville stars Connie Britton as fading country music legend Rayna Jaymes who is offered an ultimatum by her record label. If she wants their continued support of her flagging album they want Rayna to agree to share the spotlight with popular but bitchy teen sensation Juliette Barnes (Hayden Panettiere) by opening for Barnes on a combined tour.
