Oh well it seems like "why and when you started watching BATB" ? I remember very well! the first episode I saw was "saturn return" and only for chance: just finished to wash dishes I went out the kitchen to take something in the living room where the tv remained on after the TVNews... the episode was just starting and I have recognized KK (from smallville) in the prologue so I started watching to see her new job.... then I saw Vincent's workout... I sat down on the sofa with the cloth in a hand. My husband arrived and the only thing I was able to say was "go away from the Tv"! In Italy promo of primetime series are made during the day when there is no possibility for me to see what's new on TV. But in this case I've waited to see all season 1 on TV and then take the first 4 episodes on DVD. And I've waited hopeful for season 2 coming summer 2014 but, exactly like with S1, I would have lost the first episode if one of my friend didn't send me the txt message "look who is on the fire escape". After the italian hiatus due to the pregnancy of the actress who gives voice to Cat, I started searching for news and I found this forum, but, most of all, jaykris video etc.. and I became addicted. The last time I felt the same was when i was 15 with Beverly Hills 90210 (old version)! Anyway I like the show but I'm interested in what the actors can do even out from BATB and this is why I started watching Tv series and other stuff where they have worked, and reading old interviews. I don't know if there will be a S4, in fact the original "Beauty and the beast" was made of S1 22 ep. S2 22 ep. S3 12 ep... like this one. And I have in mind the Tv serie Lost where, after the S3, writers started with absurd things just to go ahead with new seasons. I don't want this for either BATB or the cast's career. I prefer they try to take new opportunity, new characters and improve their filmography and experience. The only thing that makes me worry is that while KK or AB will work certainly in US and we can definitely see their film or tv series even in Italy, JR will return to theatre (his love) away from hollywood's highlights (and even NZ series are hardly aired in Italy)

The only thing that makes me worry is that while KK or AB will work certainly in US and we can definitely see their film or tv series even in Italy, JR will return to theatre (his love) away from hollywood's highlights (and even NZ series are hardly aired in Italy) I'll def follow the actors next projects. All of them are really good at what they do. They are all very underrated as actors. I havent seen too many other actors that make their portrayal of their roles so believable. Plus they are all really great people, especially Austin. I really feel like they care about the fans amd that its not a front to promote the show or get more fans. They genuinely care about us and respect us. They've taken the time to get to know us. They have a lot of humility as actors and people. They treat any support/praise we give them with so much gratitude & humility which not a lot of actors do. A lot of actors give off the impression imo, that they are entitled to the praise and support give and they could really care less about who the supporters of a fandom really are. I remember very well watching the first episode of BATB and the moment I became hooked on it and became a forever beastie. I literally stayed up over 36 hours to binge watch the entire series to catch up to where they were in S2. I remember it being like 3:30 in the morning when I was watching S1, and I kept saying just one more episode then I'll go to bed, just one morfe. I couldnt help myself. Finally when they kissed, after the intensity of waiting for that kiss, I couldn't just turn it off after that a go to bed,I had to watch. It was the first time in my life that I stayed up over 24 hours. (I love my sleep, and there isn't much that can pull me away from getting my required beauty sleep, lol, but this did. I literally only stopped to eat & go the bathroom. No show has ever grabbed my attention that way. I knew after the subway scene in 1x01 that I was a forever beastie and there was no going back. LOL. I love how this thread turned into us reminiscing to the moment we found BATB.

Yep, that SHOULD be the ultimate purpose for a gripe thread--you ultimately remember just WHY you started watching BATB and what it means. Worth all the junk articles and lame comments about how few people supposedly watch the show. I mean, when you hear from the ones of us who DO watch the show, you see just WHY it means so much to us. (So those article people can go jump into a frigid lake and freeze there. We have certainly beaten all the odds before and remained on the air.)
And yeah, I actually was interested in BATB before it ever aired in 2012 because of loving Ron Koslow's previous "Beauty and the Beast" so much and having loved his "Moonlight." In fact, family members mailed me the article stating that Kristin Kreuk had been cast as Catherine for the remake, all because everyone knew how much I had loved the original series when I was a kid. And I began counting the days until it aired. I liked the butt-kicking version of Catherine right from the moment she had Zeke arrested in the Pilot, but when she looked up at Vincent in the subway tunnel and said, "It's you," I was sold. It wasn't just the line--it was the way her head just turned towards his and looked up into his eyes and the way he then looked at her. Totally.Swoonworthy.Amen. I was sold on Jay Ryan's Vincent from the moment in the warehouse where he revealed himself to her. And the fact that he had saved the newspaper article with her picture in it from all those years ago as something obviously so precious and meaningful to him. Sigh.
So I just don't get why it seems so many want to bury the show or don't get why it is so personal to so many of us to save it. While I don't like only getting greatly reduced seasons of BATB, I will certainly take what I can get so long as they keep it on the air. Wish I could just hunt down every Nielsen box-wielding person in America and chain them to their television sets come summer of 2015, because I am just convinced that if people watched, they would just HAVE to keep coming back. HURRY UP SUMMER TIME!! I NEED MY BATB BACK!!!

Voted. And these types of articles usually wouldnt even faze me, IF BATB was actually airing. Honestly once filming is over I have no idea what I am going to do for another 3 months with nothing. No BTS info or pics, no promos, no definite air date. If it wasnt for the cast & crew giving us updates every once in awhile I dont think I wouldve lasted this long. Wow. I must have a will of iron because here I sit in the dark. Knowing nothing. Waiting. Waiting. And now just ready to rip someone's friggin' head off.

Was reading comments at the site after voting... why does BATB create so much antagony? I mean, I have the feeling that people only bash about BATB not other shows even if they don't like them! Is this our fate??
Oh well, it's good that we are strong and resilient and "groupies" hehehe
Long life to BATB!!!! lol

I've tried to convert my wife into a beastie many times, all I get now are the rolled eyes! Speaking of more promotion, I've never seen this old news video with KK promoting the S1 finale. (She looks stunning in the interview.) landing.newsinc.com/wpix/video.html?freewheel=91044&sitesection=wpix_pix11morningnews&VID=24827440I dream of seeing new videos like this for S3 one day. It pains me with the lack of attention our show gets by the CW promo department. I hope and pray the cast will at least do a little promotion for S3.
