owan Atkinson is a funny man. In fact, he's easily the funniest British comedian outside of the Pythons. He was in the British series Black Adder and American films such as Four Weddings and a Funeral and the recent Rat Race, but his most popular character is probably Mr. Bean.

The character gained popularity in the US mostly due to HBO running the series a couple years ago. Then the quirky guy hit the big screen in a movie that was funny, but recycled some of the best bits from the series. Now A&E has collected all fourteen episodes of the series on a three-disc set.

There are some side-splittingly funny shows in this set.

I was out at the supermarket to buy myself the ultimate toy, Gemma Atkinson. After settling for a good price, I got her in flesh and bones, and ran home to play. I opened the Gemma Doll pack, and started to play with her features. As I red on the box, I moved her arms, legs and really abused moving her head. After filling her with some milk, she laid down on the floor. Boy she looked good on my kitchens floor! Than all she wanted were some roses in exchange for showing me her underwear. What happened afterwords, I really cannot tell, but you can all imagine...

Mr. Bean is a 2002 animated telivision series based on the 1990 British TV series Mr. Bean Characters from the original live action series included Mr. Bean, Irma Gobb, Mr. Bean???�?�?s teddy bear, and the mysterious driver of the Reliant Supervan, with the addition of Mrs. Wicket, Bean???�?�?s landlady, and her evil cat Scrapper.

The series again featured little actual dialogue, with most being either little soundbites or mumbling. Rowan Atkinson provided the voice for Bean, and all of the animated Bean actions are taken from Atkinson himself. Other characters???�?�? voices are provided by Jon Glover, Rupert Degas, Gary Martin, Thea White and Lorelie King

Despite the series???�?�? actual title being simply Mr. Bean, some broadcasters referred to this series as Mr. Bean: plus a subtitle for disambiguating with the original live-action series. Disney Channel in Southeast Asia refers this series as ???�??Mr. Bean - The Animated Series???�?? and the original live-action series as ???�??Mr. Bean - Live Action Series???�?? in their schedule.
