IIRC, I think each episode had two parts to it, so maybe that's why it felt like more. Either way, I'm glad it was like that. Best to leave on a high note then overstay your welcome.

Yeah I am like that with most shows, but with Mr Bean mostly being skit comedy I felt it could probably been okay with a few more episodes.

But I feel you, there's a few shows that I feel were definitely devalued because it went on. My unpopular opinions being DBZ would have been better as a whole if it ended after Frieza and Break Bad to me lost a lot of overall points because of the last season and should have ended with Gus.

Oh. I was talking about "Bean," when he came to America and was mistaken for an art expert.

I totally forgot about Mr. Bean's Holiday, when he was going to Cannes. I don't think I've seen the other one though.

Even weirder is that those 15 episodes were spread over almost 6 years. Like that's mind boggling that that can even happen and still be as popular as it is.

There's only 2, that's why you haven't seen the other one.

British TV is weird.

The funny thing is, Rowan Atkinson's previous show is the one most British people remember him for (while Americans tend to think Mr. Bean as his definitive project), and that only lasted 24 episodes.

Blackadder - which is regularly voted the #2 British sitcom/comedy in history whenever the British vote in TV polls - was a 4 season show, where each season consisted of 6 episodes, and each season was technically about a completely different character, set in a completely different time period, and with stories that were designed to fit the period (meaning each season has a different style/tone). In a way, it's almost like four separate but related shows.

Oh, and it also had a Christmas special parodying A Christmas Carol. Which may be my favorite Christmas-related show of any kind.

About 70, I think. So, you are either forgetting episodes, or watching them really slowly...

It's 10 seasons. I have the full set:

The seasons generally vary between 6-8 episodes each, so it's pretty on-par with other British shows.

The British TV model of "do it until you run out of good ideas" is vastly superior to the American model of "do it until nobody can tolerate this shit anymore and/or the actors are all too old/drug addled to keep up the charade anyway"

I'd love to have twice as much high quality Mr. Bean in the world but I think Rowan Atkinson played the character out without the show ever feeling redundant or thin.

The fourth is the best one IMO.

But there are some terrific moments in the third, too.

Possibly an unpopular opinion, but I think the later characters in Being Human were better - Hal and Tom were a brilliant double-act.

I was never a massive fan of Primeval, but I kinda felt duty bound to watch it because the guy who played Becker was one of my best friends at school up until I was 12 or 13.
