Bean, Bean, maniacal nut / The more you watch, you bust a gut! First unleashed in 1989, this sketch series was embraced by PBS viewers in the United States. In the tradition of the great silent clowns, Rowan Atkinson created a character with universal and multi-generational appeal (the sketches have little dialogue and are driven by often ingenious physical comedy). Like Bart Simpson, the resourceful, mischievous, and sometimes malevolent Bean is the inner child incarnate who acts on the impulses polite society normally represses. Atkinson has described Bean as 'a 9-year-old boy, with an apparent lack of worldly experience, but an ingenuity that is quite clever in dealing with problems presented to him.' These problems include not knowing a single answer on an exam, tactfully disposing of a revolting restaurant meal, changing into his swimsuit at the beach without first removing his pants, and, most hilariously, getting a turkey stuck on his head (a classic bit reprised in the ill-conceived 1997 feature film).
Atkinson has enjoyed some mainstream success stateside. He was the nervous minister ('...your awfully wedded wife') in Four Weddings and a Funeral, and the voice of Zazu in The Lion King. But he mainly enjoys cult status among British comedy aficionados as a founding member of Not the Nine O'Clock News and the star of the Black Adder series. Bean is his crowning creation. In addition to all 14 episodes, this generous boxed set contains previously unaired sketches, Comic Relief appearances, and a segment about Bean's creation, which serves as a nifty introduction for the uninitiated. It also contains a preview for the new Mr. Bean animated series. This seems redundant. As this collection hilariously demonstrates, Bean is already animated enough. --Donald Liebenson

Rating:  - Mr. Bean - The Whole Bean (Complete Set)
Classic Mr. Bean. Short episodes are extremely funny. My six year old child laughed until she ran out of breath!
Rating: - All Hail Atkinson!!!
To those who are about to die, of laughter, I salute you! I first encountered Mr. Bean on BBC television in the early 90's while stationed overseas with the military. Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean) is probably one of this last century's greatest comedians. American audiences have been exposed to him through PBS and through the introduction of two movies in theater's and on DVD. I purchased this box set when it was first released, joyously, and have been intending for years to write a review for my fellow Amazon shoppers.
If you enjoy revisiting Mel Brooks movies, if you enjoy the best sight gags, physical comedy, and intelligent humor delivered via the medium of a buffoon, then you cannot go wrong with this set. You will watch it uninterrupted, one episode after another straight through and will not go 60 seconds at a time without howling out loud. Mr. Bean does not speak much and when he does, it is mostly unintelligible mumbles. His comedy is universal, relying on the visual but also relying on you to think of all the ramifications, hence one wonders at the true nature of just what exactly IS Mister Bean? Mr. Bean points out not only how much we take for granted in human behavior and morality, but he points out the absurdities in our day to day life. We rush through our lifestyles without a second thought as to WHY we do certain things and behave in certain ways, unquestioning even the smallest details, but Mr. Bean accomplishes the very same moments with baby steps, step by step ...

Rating: - Fun for little kids
We have two boys, a 5-year old and a 4-year old. They love these episodes.
That being said, I know there are several episodes edited. I wish the edits hadn't been made but, for my kids, the set is still a great buy.
Rating: - Hilarious video for everyone
3 DVDs of hilarious skits featuring a British comedian who finds himself in all sorts of misadventures. Both adults and kids find this humorous.
Rating: - Original Quality Entertainment
It is really a shame that there are only these fourteen episodes of the Mr. Bean T.V. show in existence. The show was very funny and unlike anything else on television. If you want a good laugh, check this out.
