What are five underrated shows?

I've seen this question, what are five underrated shows? asked a lot and I figured I'd go ahead and answer it. There are more than five shows that I think are underrated and I'll probably write another list. But for now, here are five shows I think are underrated:

1. Beauty and the Beast (2012-2016   The CW)

I always felt like Beauty and the Beast was such an amazing show that had an interesting take on the old fairy tale but it was also one of the most underrated shows on The CW. And when it aired, I found it was barely promoted compared to how The CW promoted the channel's other shows. It was also a loosely based reboot of the 1980's Beauty and the Beast TV series.

Happy Thanksgiving! (+ a Geeky Holiday TV List)

Today has many meanings from spending time and relaxing with family, friends or by yourself to giving thanks and giving back by volunteering to help others. I want to wish everyone a happy and safe Thanksgiving.

If you don't have any plans besides channeling your inner couch potato, here's a small geeky list of Thanksgiving episodes you can watch. You could also have a movie marathon, watching movies by your favorite franchise, favorite actress/actor, favorite genre, etc. However, you plan on enjoying the day again I want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!


Chuck

Season 1 episode 10: Chuck Versus the Nemesis
Season 2 episode 8: Chuck Versus the Gravitron
Season 4 episode 10: Chuck Versus the Leftovers

TV Round Up: Beauty and the Beast season 1 episode 1

Beauty and the Beast

Season 1 episode 1: "Once Upon a Time in the City of New York"

I watched the first episode of 1980's Beauty and the Beast TV series and I thought it was very interesting. It follows socialite and attorney Catherine Chandler (Linda Hamilton) who after leaving a party, was abducted by a group of men. They thought she was a woman named Carol and was leaving her a message by beating her and severely slashing her face. Afterwards, the men tossed her out of a van and left her in a park.

DVD Pick: Beauty and the Beast: The Complete Series

I have never seen this 1980's Beauty and the Beast TV series that starred Linda Hamilton as Catherine Chandler and Ron Perlman as Vincent. The show ran for three seasons (56 episodes) from 1987 to 1990 and the only reason I found out about it was that I recently saw that The CW's Beauty and the Beast TV series (which I love and it's still one of my favorite shows) was loosely based on the 80's version.

In fact I had no idea the original series even existed until I found out about that little bit of information. Since, I'm always looking for new (or new to me) TV series or movies I decided to get it so I can watch it.

Once I watch it, I will be see if there are any more similarities between the original series and the reboot besides the main characters names.

Beauty and the Beast: The Complete Series

Description:

Once upon a time is now and forever: Beauty and the Beast, the Emmy Award-winning, fan favorite show is more captivating than ever with The Complete Series. This unique fantasy-crime drama series features the adventures and romance between Vincent (Ron Perlman), a mythic, noble man-beast and Catherine (Linda Hamilton), a savvy assistant DA in New York. These two share a strong, mystical bond that enables Vincent while in his underground lair to sense whenever Catherine is in danger in the World Above.

Book Watch: Three Books from the CW Beauty and the Beast TV Series

I love watching the CW Network's Beauty and the Beast TV series so much that I ordered the complete series (it was released last month). I recently found out that there are three books based on the show and all I can think is why am I just now finding out about them?

I don't recall ever seeing any promotion for these books, I found them by accident and now I will add them to my wishlist because I will be buying them.

Book: Vendetta (Beauty and the Beast book #1) by Nancy Holder

Description:

During a mysterious blackout, Angelo DeMarco, the son of New York City’s most powerful family, is kidnapped. NYPD detectives Catherine Chandler and Tess Vargas are on the case when they learn of a second missing person: Cat’s father has disappeared from his prison cell on Rikers Island. Vincent is desperate to help Cat, but as tensions rise, the couple becomes caught in a trap where the only way out is to confront their pasts and prove their epic love.

DVD Tuesday: Beauty and the Beast (Movie and TV Series)

This DVD Tuesday is all about Beauty and the Beast. I am beyond ecstatic to get Disney's Beauty and the Beast, it's such a beautiful movie. I also want to get the CW network's Beauty and the Beast TV Series which I didn't realized the complete series was released last Tuesday. I loved watching this show and it felt like four seasons wasn't enough to tell the story of Cat and Vincent.


Beauty and the Beast (2017)

Description:

Belle (Emma Watson), a bright, beautiful and independent young woman, is taken prisoner by a beast (Dan Stevens) in its castle. Despite her fears, she befriends the castle's enchanted staff and learns to look beyond the beast's hideous exterior, allowing her to recognize the kind heart and soul of the true prince that hides on the inside.

Must See TV: Beauty and the Beast Season 3

Beauty and the Beast   Thursdays  8:00 PM EST  The CW

Yay! Beauty and the Beast is finally back but why is there such a lack of promotion for this series. If I didn't already set the DVR to record the series I would have missed the season three premiere on Thursday.

Did The CW somehow use up all their advertising budget promoting The Flash and Arrow that there's no money left for Beauty and the Beast? Was there even an official trailer? I haven't seen one.

Although I haven't watched the third season premiere yet, I do plan on watching it today.

If you have not seen one episode of BatB, you can watch the first two seasons on Netflix to see what this show is all about. It's definitely a favorite of mine, it's an interesting take on the fairy tale with Kristin Kreuk starring as Detective Catherine Chandler and Jay Ryan starring as Vincent Keller a.k.a. the beast.

Bonus: The show has already been renewed for a fourth season. That's great news.
