There was a series in the early 90's that had a beauty and the beast theme. It had a girl that fell in love with a guy that had a cat-like face and lived in the sewer. My friends think I'm nuts cause they don't remember it help me prove them wrong!!

Beauty and the Beast.

Probably the following:

Amazon.com: Beauty and the Beast - The Complete First Season: DVD: Jay Acovone,Ron Perlman,Linda Hamilton

YES YES be asured you are right. It was called Beauty and the Best staring Linda Hamilton (the woman from the Terminator movies). The beast's name was Vincent but I don't know his real name. Hopefully knowing her name you will be able to look online to find the evidence to prove to your friends.

Best show in the world... I loved it as a kid... well pre-teen...

Ron Perlman is the guy who played Vincent in the series, in case you wanted to know! My mom got me hooked to this show, and we'd always watch it together! They made 3 seasons of the show, and the first 2 will both be out on DVD come July. (The first season's out now.) I definitely can't wait to pick them up and watch them all over again! :)
