Description:
He captured the hearts of millions of viewers worldwide. His movie grossed nearly a quarter of a billion dollars worldwide. He's been called the most embarrassing man on the planet. Now the entire Mr. Bean series, the British comic phenomenon created by Rowan Atkinson (Blackadder, Four Weddings and a Funeral), is finally available in one complete package.

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

I've always loved this series, timeless classic humor that doesn't even need speech (well maybe a little haha). I've heard that it does cut out/edit some episodes, but I've enjoyed this. Quality is there, in a nice package too.

This collection has it all. Some have complained that tiny parts have been cut out. While this may be true, the episodes are still hilarious and the funniest parts are still intact. Trust me, I've been a huge fan of Mr. Bean since seeing the original episodes air in the 90s. You won't be disappointed, and you'll find yourself watching these over and over again whenever you need to laugh.
The casual fan will like having all 14 episodes, but the great part about this set is a 40-minute ... Read More

Classic Mr. Bean. Short episodes are extremely funny. My six year old child laughed until she ran out of breath!

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 ... Read More

We have two boys, a 5-year old and a 4-year old. They love to watch Mr. Bean episodes. His silliness ellicts giggles from our kids like I've never heard while they watch Saturday morning cartoons. When Mr. Bean gets a turkey stuck on his head my kids roll on the floor laughing.
I know several episodes in this collection are edited and several fans have already noted that in their reviews. As much as I wish the edits hadn't been made this set is still a great buy if you are looking for family ... Read More
