I never liked Mr Bean, but I _love_ Blackadder (starting from season 2). Every season plays in a different time period. In the first season I feel the comedy is not yet really fleshed out.
Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry also play roles in Blackadder.
Some of my favorite episodes:

- kranner 4y agoFellow Blackadder lover here. Agree that the first season was not that great compared to the subsequent seasons. The big change was a smaller budget (indoor shoots only) and bringing in Ben Elton as a writer. Also of course the Blackadder character was revamped from village idiot to Machiavellian antihero. It's a shame that most people recognise Rowan Atkinson for only the former kind of role.
