Mr. Bean on HBO

A Britcom about a very peculiar and most endearing serial bungler became a cult hit when it first appeared on the BBC in 1989, and has developed a U.S. following through airings in the 1990s on HBO and PBS. `Mr. Bean' spotlights rubber-faced Rowan Atkinson's wonderful flair for physical humor, as the impish man of few words (he mostly grunts) causes all manner of havoc in a series of half-hour episodes. Atkinson brought his misfit alter ego to the big screen for 1997's `Bean.'
