Indeed. Nothing like snippy, whitty and bitting humour of one guy with a superior intellect surrounded by morons... reminds me of my life actually :D
Don't say that, you're not a moron! :P

To many idiots in this country to truly enjoy the whit of Atkinson.
I loved BA, though one Baldrick quote comes to mind.
BA: I have a cunning plan
Baldrick: Is it as cunning as a fox, what went to the oxford school of cunning planning, which went on to be appointed minister of cunning plans in the ministry of cunning planing?
BA: Yes.
Baldrick: Well that's quite cunning then isn't it.

Can't compare Bean to Blackie, two entirely different comedy shows. One is based entirely on physical humour that any country can get (hence why Mr. Bean is just about the most popular sit-com ever) whilst the other is based more on wit and sarcasm and general verbal broadsides, it does have a message about the times usually, highlighting, via humour, the way we used to live.

The last episode of Blackadder Goes Forth is the only comedy episode that has ever gotten me to nearly well up it tears for such a poignant scene. Best ending for a sit-com ever.

I think Afghanistan was ultimately named Enduring Freedom.
