I’m terrible at watching TV shows. Just awful. New ones often come around that I really want to check out, and before I know it multiple seasons have come and gone. Seriously—it feels like time travel at times.

Being a huge fan of pirates (I even enjoy the Pirates of the Caribbean movies most people aren’t so fond of), Black Sails on Starz was one such show that immediately piqued my attention but got away from me. This is thanks in part to its fairly brief maiden voyage (season one is only eight episodes). But thankfully I was able to check it out on Blu-ray, and with season two having just kicked off recently, I’m happy to finally be on board.

TV just can’t get the beloved tale of a Beauty and a Beast out of its systems.

THR is reporting that ABC has ordered a pilot of a new show entitled, well, Beauty And The Beast, from writer Jonathan E. Steinberg and producers Gary Fleder and Mary Beth Basile. This show will join the CW’s update of the cult 1980s CBS series which starred Ron Perlman and Linda Hamilton.
