Summary: Mr Bean is perfect, the DVDs not quite
Review: I'm sure this DVD set is incredible, and it most definitely will beat the only current existing Mr. Bean related DVDs, which include "The Best of Mr. Bean," a funny, if not cheap "best of" reel where Mr. Bean simply reminisces about classic bits, and the Bean: The Movie DVD, a movie which I liked very much, but was sort of a rehashed film, and the DVD was sparse. The VHS including deleted scenes is better. Anyway, this DVD set is great for including the documentary and the other bits and pieces, but nonetheless must lose major points for not including a Rowan Atkinson commentary on the episodes! Grr! What a mistake! I'll still buy it, though, and you can't beat Bean when it comes to laughs.

Mr. Bean Forever!*****

Summary: The Ultimate Collection
Review: I remember it was a September of 1994 at my home in Greece. I turned on the TV and tune to the first channel I saw. A guy was coming out of his house and he was wiping his feet on the mat. It seem to be stupid, but not so stupid as what followed. It was one of the most hilarious TV moments I experienced in my life. I remember myself from this moment on trying to record on the VCR all the episodes, but this DVD collection is much much better. This a definitely must have. If you liked the movie you are going to love this... Mr. Bean is one of the best characters ever created on TV. The total of 13 episodes will give you infinite laugh and sympathy for Mr. Bean.

Summary: Best Beans
Review: I own the complete set of Mr. Beans on video and my kids and I have watched them so many times the tapes are wearing out. I have pre-ordered this boxed set of DVDs to replace my worn out casettes. You can't beat Bean!

Summary: Rowan Atkinson before Scooby-Doo and Johnny English
Review: Reviewing the Movie: Before he appeared in a lot of hollywood-esque movies, Rowan Atkinson (RA) was put on the map with a little program named "Mr. Bean"; back in time, when he lived in London.Following the steps of Benny Hill, RA made a comedy program with almost no dialog (inspired by the Pink Panther, or Chales Chaplin maybe?), such program was very short (only 14 episodes), but it was a big hit in his country and then, elsewhere. Finally A&E made the wise decision of release all those great episodes together in DVD (after releasing a lot of "Best of" DVD's), with some extras (but i think that the main feature of this collection are the episodes themselves). Most of the episodes are "All Family" stuff (except maybe a couple of episodes where Mr. Bean appears naked, with some raunchy humor, but not so far from a PG rating). If you liked "Benny Hill", certainly you will love the Bean guy. Reviewing the DVD: Contrary to the "dvdfile.com" review, the video transfer of the programs are very good, the blacks are black and the whites are whites... the video is FullFrame format, the audio is very good; in the extras, you find a featurette, a trailer, and some sketches never released in TV(that i hadn't see yet); the foreign language support is null (no subtitles, just english audio tracks), fortunatelly the programs almost donÂ't have dialog, so, i donÂ't consider this a problem. A worth buy!

Summary: Quit teasing! Release it now!
Review: Mr. Bean is hands-down the best television show ever produced. Rowan Atkinson is brilliant as the pathetic but lovable Mr. Bean, who effortlessly gets himself into mass hysteria and trouble, then must find creative, hilarious ways to dig himself out again. The antics of this character have made millions laugh, and I can't wait to get the complete set on DVD. This is the chance of a lifetime to own the greatest show ever produced and aired on the BBC, A&E, or anywhere!

Summary: Mr Bean is my idea of joke
Review: This box set is the complete collection of episodes of the Mr Bean series. It even contains some parts that didn't go to air here in Japan. The picture quality is unbelievable for an English show as last time I was in the UK in the sixties many English shows were still in B&W.
Mr Bean is seen as a god here in Japan. He is an alien. At the beginning of each episode you see him drop from a UFO. My favourite part in the whole series is where Mr Bean's bathing costume comes off at the public swimming pool. You can see his can. It is very funny. I also like where he blows his noes on this jacket in church. I also like his car. It is very English and very comical as also is Mr Bean. Mr Bean reminds me of Prime Minister Tony Blair. Every time I see Tony Blair now I laugh. Prince Charles once said "To laugh is to be free".
Purchase this DVD and you will be more free than Osama Bin Laden.

Summary: Yes, this set is missing entire scenes...
Review: ...and for an example I will give the "Merry Christmas, Mr. Bean" ep in which he scams to win a turkey contest and is successful but the scene in its entirity is missing (several minutes) and what you get is a giant turkey suddenly appearing in his kitchen which is, granted, a funny sight gag, but would have made more sense and would have been funnier if you knew the story of how and why he ended up with a giant raw turkey--I admit I haven't watched all the discs yet, but that missing scene to me verified what the other reviewers making the same point have been warning you and I about--I only went ahead and bought the set as I had a unnamed store gift card and used it to purchase this set and therefore no big loss... As for the humor, unlike what a previous reviewer has stated, the Mr. Bean character is not entirely silent, he talks more often than is stated but in short sentences and in a strained voice not unlike the character he voiced during a "end-of-the-world cult" sketch in "The Secret Policeman's Other Ball"--if you want a comparison, the style of humor owes much to Chaplin or Keaton, but in a modern setting... In short, excellent humor but sadly incomplete with no complete set anywhere in site--either stick with your VHS copies or take your chances here...
