Question ID: 351635
I am trying to find out if and when the second season of Beauty and
the Beast with Linda Hamilton and Ron Perlman will be out on VHS (or
DVD), Episodes 23 through 44,with special emphasis on episode 37,"The
Watcher".I am a very serious and avid fan of this series and would
actually like to procure quite a few other second season episodes
(except for two, I own all of the first season episodes). So please,
if you can help me at all, it will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much.
Have a great day.

Hi pris55

Yes, Beauty and the Beast was a great show, but I have to start with
bad news. There are no plans to release season two on VHS or DVD.
Various episodes of season one were released on VHS, but never on DVD.
You can see a full list of season one on VHS at amazon.com (I counted
27) but bear in mind they are ALL out of stock:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-form/103-7032860-8463064

As season one was never relesed on DVD, the chances of season two
being released seem very slim. But you can join fellow fans and vote
to see the show on DVD here:
http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/showinfo.cfm?showID=873

There are some counterfeit DVDs of season two floating about, but
these are obviously illegal and will not be discussed here. Suffice to
say they are not easily available. You can see the labels for these
DVS here:
http://www.khitomer.net/index.php?page=covers&series=beauty_and_the_beast&season=2&episode=15&section=2

BUT there is good news! Lots of fans DO have season 2 on VHS, and are
willing to trade for other shows on VHS. You can find these fans on
the newsgroup alt.video.tape-trading. You can post a request there or
reply to an offer of trade. If you are patient and friendly you will
be able to get the whole of season two here. You can view the Beauty
and the Beast messages via Google here:
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&q=%22beauty+and+the+beast%22&meta=group%3Dalt.video.tape-trading.*

I wish you success in your VHS trading!

The answer I received was a good one,and would have been beneficial
had I received results from the researcher's suggested leads, but to
no avail. I never received a response from "ANY" of the e-mails I
submitted regarding inquiring about procuring 2nd season episodes of
Beauty and the Beast (w/L.Hamilton & R.Perlman).I'm back to where I
was a year ago on this, and needless to say, I am "VERY" disappointed.
