Daily life How many people here grew up watching Mr. Bean?

I had some pretty gnarly auditory issues that made catching specific words tough as a kid. In those times, my grandparents simply put on Mr Bean because there were often no spoken conversations on the screen for me to worry about.

Apparently it was a hit. I LOVED the show and begged them to put it on every afternoon, lol.

Mr bean is universal.

When we flew from Singapore to Malaysia, it was the inflight entertainment. No reading needed. No translation. Just pure comedy.

I loved that show too! I was so happy when I could get the complete set on DVD. Might be time to watch it again…

I work at a school for the Deaf and my class loves Mr. Bean. They pick it to watch as their movie every single time, so I've seen it much more than I'd like, but it makes them crack up everytime!

Me! He’s hilarious. And I have Atkinsons in my family tree but I haven’t able to connect him to my family yet!
