Wouldn't it be cool if PBS still showed him in reruns?

Benny Hill was also funny, although more risqué. I like both.

Sure why not Mr.Bean was to funny...

Yeah, Mr. Bean would be good for PBS. I mean after all, if they aired episodes of Monty Python's Flying Circus, then Mr. Bean would be good to air as well.

I recall they discussed the show on the 1989 installment of "I Love The 80s 3-D", which struck me as strange, since the show debuted in 1990. I was hoping they would've discussed "Batman" instead, but since VH1 is no longer doing the "I Love..." programs, it'll never happen.

It's weird. PBS shows other British sitcoms like As Time Goes By and Are You Being Served?, but no Mr. Bean.

I read on a few sources that Mr. Bean actually did air on PBS during the mid-late 90s. Also, on the Wikipedia page for Programs broadcasted on PBS, it has Mr. Bean listed as one of their current programming. So, it is possible there are some PBS affiliates that's currently airing Mr. Bean.

Not all PBS affiliates have to show the same thing, I suppose.

I saw BBC Kids air Mr. Bean a few weeks ago. I wonder if it's still there...

Mr. Bean was the main funny man when I was little. Whenever I'm depressed or bored, I just pop in my DVD disc of the episodes. Never fails to make me laugh.

This is how I often felt about Mystery Science Theater 3000 (and still do).

Do you prefer Mr. Bean over Benny Hill?
