VOLUME 1

MEET MR. BEAN

In the Golden Rose-winning pilot, Mr. Bean attempts the implossible: Passing an exam without a clue; changing on the beach without removing his trousers and, most difficult of all, staying awake in church. But that's just the beginning. Inside you'll find some of his most outrageous exploits including mayhem in his Mini, experiments in self-dentistry and a date with the Queen.

THE AMAZING MR. BEAN

When Mr. Bean sets his mind to it, there's nothing he can't accomplish - aside from holding onto his trousers. Going back to school gives him an opportunity to brush up on his judo while an afternoon of golf improves his compass-reading skills. Of all Mr. Bean's amazing abilities, his animal impressions and award-winning wild teddybear training are certainly his most... bizarre.

My Comments:

This is one of those shows that you either love or hate. I think it's hilarious (in small doses at least - an episode or two at a time) and it's one of my favorite shows.
