Mr. Bean: The Whole Bean (Remastered 25th Anniversary Collection)

After all these years, Mr. Bean still holds a special place in my heart. Normally I'm not into slapstick comedy that much, but when combined with the incredible social ineptness of Mr. Bean and his extreme bumbling , I think it is comedy gold. Rowan Atkinson will always be my go-to for hours of pure laughs.This set has 14 Episodes on 3 discs, each episode contains 1-3 comedy sets, in which Mr. Atkinson displays his comedic genius with facial contortions and impeccable timing.Mr. Bean always tries to be graceful, and wants to be admired while at the same time being frugal. One almost aches for him as he goes to a fancy restaurant , signs and sets out a birthday card for himself, and then goes into sticker shock at the prices.But his inventiveness is incomparable. Late for a Dentist appointment, Mr. Bean has to dress himself while driving through town...in his iconic Mini Cooper.You can get a sense of English living as you watch Mr. Bean at his home, a small flat with only the basics, but anyone who has ever redecorated may appreciate Mr. Bean's efforts ( DISCLAIMER : Do not try this at home, kids ! )Younger children may snigger at the scenes of brief nudity, so if you get offended by mild naked humor, some discretion may be necessary.Overall, this set will give you hours of laughter and somehow they never get old. I highly recommend this box set to anyone who enjoys laughing!No disclosure needed - I am a “reviewer” of Amazon products and often get things at a discount, however this item I have bought at FULL price for my own personal use. Thank you for reading my review!

Very little talking in this britmade comedy. It translates well to any language. Cinematography is very good. Very funny G rated humor

Great TV series. Thankful that I have it on DVD now.

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.

So much better image quality than the original DVD release! Much clearer and sharper. Very happy with this. I was really hoping for a Blu ray set, but still none available.

I grew up with Mr. Bean. It is some of the greatest english comedy I've ever seen. The quality of this new set is amazing. I've never seen the show look this good. This has the same stuff as the previous "Whole Bean" set from a few years ago, so I won't go too much into that. I'll just talk about a little problem that bugs me. I've only watched a couple of episodes so far, so I can't speak to the whole set, but at the end of the episodes, in the upper right corner, a little rectangle appears for a few seconds. It's not that obtrusive and not a major problem, but it is annoying. I asked Shout Factory, the people that made this set, about the box and they said that it was on the master tapes they were sent to use. They said it's some sort of mark to denote where commercials should go when aired on tv.But this is odd, seeing as the last set didn't have this mark. If my OCD kicks in enough about this, I'm going to track down a copy of the previous set just so the little box doesn't bug me.

I love Mr. Bean

Not every show is great, but it is funny. Rowan Atkinson created a memorable character.
