Here, the main character does funny hijinks, and I'm not happy that the series only lasted 15 episodes. I thought it lasted much longer.
At least its animated counterpart lasted much longer than the live action (original) counterpart.

It's a common misconception that the series ran for many seasons because Mr. Bean's character is so ingrained in British pop culture. In fact, the series made a huge impact with minimal episodes, which is pretty impressive. And Rowan Atkinson's performance? Pure genius, some of the best physical comedy out there.

Actually, the animated series did bring a fresh perspective, expanding the character in ways the original format couldn't due to its largely silent and visual gags. Also, the animations allowed for more elaborate situations that just wouldn't be feasible in a typical sitcom. Plus, it's great for kids and has 130+ episodes which is quite a bit longer than the live-action series.

That's true. It's much longer than animated counterpart, many episodes, still seems to go on.

Exactly mate! Bean's all about the laughs at the end of the day. Whether it's the telly series or the cartoons, if it gets a chuckle out of you, job's a good'un. Let's not forget those classic movies too. Possibly unpopular opinion but I reckon 'Bean' from '97 is a cracking film.

Oi, but don't knock the animated series too much. It did a solid job introducing Mr. Bean to a younger audience. Yeah, it's no classic compared to the live action but still has some decent laughs. And it keeps the Bean legacy going, doesn't it?

Absolutely, Atkinson's facial expressions and the physicality he brought to the character were iconic. The animated series misses out on that. Interesting fact, the live show only had 15 eps because Atkinson didn't want to overdo it. Wanted quality over quantity, he did.

Eh, Mr. Bean isn't everyone's cuppa tea, is it? The thing about it is that it's a bit like Marmite, you either love it or hate it. And yea, there was only 15 episodes but each one's a gem. The holiday special episodes are class though, gotta admit!
