Summary: Bad Bad Packaging...
Comment: CBS/Paramount along with MGM lead the pack when it comes to bad packaging. MGM took the lead with the new Alfred Hitchcock Premiere Collection packaging where all the discs were stuck unprotected into cardboard slats but CBS/Paramount has caught up and perhaps surpassed MGM with its new Beauty and the Beast Complete Series packaging. Props CBS.
Like the MGM Hitchcock set, the Beauty and the Beast set comes poorly packed. In this case the discs are housed in accordion like cardboard and are simply stuck unprotected into cardboard slats (MGM and CBS have apparently never heard of archival quality polyprop sleeves). Can you say scratched discs? Well I can and so can this package. It is a pity that CBS simply didn't package the wonderful slimline packages they put the individual seasons in together but hey this is CBS the same company that savaged "Holocaust" by transferring it horribly and by cutting it.
As to the show itself, it's not bad though I think it is overrated by its fans. Is it Due South? No. Is it Buffy? No. Is it Firefly? No. Is it Lost? No. What it is is a good series with intelligence, imagination, and heart. Personally I prefer those episodes that flesh out the underground world. One word suffices for the transfer: mediocre. But again this is CBS.
Some final words: Why do I even bother to buy anything from this we don't put much effort into our DVDs because gullible consumers will buy them anyway company? I hope I have learned my lesson. Why do some of us bother writing reviews of transfer quality and packaging when the Amazonian masses appear not to care? Because it matters.

Summary: Beauty and the Beast Complete Series
Comment: I bought this for my mother for her birthday. we used to watch it when it was on tv, and she had told me she was just wondering if her old recorded vhs tapes of the show would work since dvd's weren't available back then. She LOVED it she said the quality and feel was just like being back in the 80's again. i recommend this series if your a fan of either Ron Perlman or Linda Hamilton (BEFORE she was in terminator). excellent buy.

Summary: I loved it!!!
Comment: I am a big fan of BATB. I was extremely happy when I learnt that the show was available in DVD. The thrid season is not as bad as many said but it is not the same without Catherine. However, it should not end without Vincent finding his son. I only missed more extra material.

Summary: Have to give props to the creators of this packaging
Comment: I just received my Beauty and the Beast Complete Collection. I was upset at first when I realized that it was packaged very similar to the Crosby Show Complete Series with 3 interior cardboard packages. One for each season of beauty and the beast but unlike the Cosby show set the dvds were preserved in perfect condition. I think this is the first time cardboard packaging has worked correctly as it was supposed to.
