Mr. Bean: The Whole Bean - Complete Series [DVD] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]

Contains the armchair sketch from Mr bean do it yourself priceless as it's the only place I know off it appearing on DVD the weighing in the turkey can be found on another Mr bean Christmas DVD but not on the brilliant box set (although this is a great set to own the most complete Mr bean sketch episodes.

Este producto fue un regalo, pero lo hemos visto con el festejado y tanto el como nosotros estamos encantados. Rowan Atkinson es tan gracioso como Mr. Bean que vale la pena tener esta colección.

I've been waiting for a long time to get the entire Mr. Bean series with a bargain rate. $25.00 is a steal for a show this classic! The only reason why I didn't save up and buy it previously is because I'd seen every episode on TV multiple times and felt that I knew every moment in every skit, and so I was waiting for a reasonable price, and it's here! The episodes look a lot better in this remastered DVD edition, vs. the televised version. Very clear. No ads! You can put in a disk and hit the already-selected "Play All," sit back and enjoy :) If you've never seen Mr. Bean, allow me to explain all the hubbub. Mr. Bean is a simple-minded (child-like) Englishman who doesn't really understand the adult world and his pathetic yet clever attempts to adapt to it are largely where the comedy stems from. Whether it's in bringing a sandwich to a park bench (the ingredients contained in his pockets) or enjoying raw hamburg at a upscale restaurant (which he tries to cut up and hide every place he can find,) we delight in watching this poor man's embarrassing failures at being a dignified adult. Mr. Bean reflects the inner child in us all; the at times mischievous and other times innocent, naive soul who can make you laugh one moment and then feel sorry for him the next. He's a very loveable character because he is so very human. The comedy itself is done in a series of skits which comprise an episode. There is very little dialogue, and this is what helps to give Mr. Bean his universal appeal. You wouldn't even have to speak much English or be able to understand British accents that well to follow what is happening. Mr. Bean has been a huge success around the world. The jokes rarely aim high, instead focusing on little things which make us laugh due to Mr. Bean's character and in understanding what he is trying to do, rather than a ball-in-the-groin type gag. This makes Mr. Bean feel much like a modern version of Charlie Chaplin's Little Tramp character, but Rowan Atkinson's Mr. Bean is very original and stands on his own as a classic comedic character. Highly recommended for the young at heart, and for those who feel that we sometimes take society too seriously. Atkinson once said that he believes that every actor has one great character in him and that Mr. Bean was his. I concur.

Great all of the fun episodes

My Favorite Parts... I purchased this set pre-order for $18. It was worth every penny! I never seen the original set that was released but this "remastered" set is really good looking. While it's not HD, it's the best picture quality I've seen with the Mr. Bean series. Crystal clear and sharp! Hard to believe it was SD video from the late 80's. The documentary of Rowan Atkinson's journey to Bean stardom was really interesting, boring at times, but definately worth a watch. The deleted scenes were short but really nice to have since I've never seen them before. The case is nice and compact, fits on the shelf like a 1-disk DVD case. It securely holds all the discs without any problems. The booklet inside clearly states what episodes are on which disk and a brief summary. The menu on the DVD's look similar, showing a summary of each episode as you scroll through. A really great way to design a DVD menu for a bunch of episodes. Negative impressions... The sound seemed a bit off, as if it distorted a little but this was only a few times. It still wasn't distracting and I believe most people probably won't notice it. Overall, the sound is still clear and non-muffled. The Mr. Bean movies are NOT included but can be easily purchased anywhere cheaply. The DVD case has problems snapping shut sometimes and I almost broke the tabs that close it together. Fortunately, the plastic is thick and durable. It hasn't broke yet but may require special attention when being closed up. The booklet MUST be kept in the front. Otherwise, the case will not close right. If you never bought the Mr. Bean series before, buy it now! This is a great collection that's actually affordable AND great quality.

I love having the whole series in here. Mr Bean has such a great quality of everywhere and everyone being able to enjoy it, regardless of age or language or how long you had to watch. It's a comedy classic for sure, and if I could only own a few dvds or otherwise things on physical media, this would be at the top of my list.
