 Hey Nonny Nonny! June 21, 2008
My second favorite BBC show after "Red Dwarf". If you've only seen Rowan Atkinson as Mr. Bean, then by all means, watch this show! For beginners, skip Series One and start on Series Two. The best of all is Series Four but it's funnier if you know all the characters so get Series Two. Today. Now.
The second Blackadder May 30, 2008
In the second Blackadder series, we are introduced to new characters Lord Melchett, played expertly by Stephen Fry, and the ever cute yet crazy Queen Elizabeth, played by Miranda Richardson. Blackadder here has fallen from crown prince to aristocrat, and we get the first sense of his acid wit. Well worth watching.
Rowan Atkinson is positively brilliant! November 24, 2007

I positively LOVE British comedy... Benny Hill, Fawlty Towers, `Allo `Allo, Mr. Bean, Monty Python, Mind Your Language etc. The best of these is Black Adder.
Black Adder turns history upside down on its head. Forget whatever you learnt of the Tudors because you will have to re-learn it when you watch the "real history" of Black Adder.
For those who are unfamiliar with this series, it may take you a while to understand the nuances and "read between the lines". But this ability to understand the humor will increase as you watch the series. A general underlying truth is that each episode gets funnier as you move forward in this series.
Rowan Atkinson is positively brilliant! Honestly speaking, I think that his performance in this series is just head and shoulders above his comedy in Mr. Bean.
The best of the bunch July 14, 2007
Blackadder is some of the funniest (if not THE funniest) british comedy I've ever seen... and that includes Monty Python. Blackadder II is Rowan Atkinson and the rest of the cast of pseudo-regulars at their best. I bought the complete collection after seeing 1 episode of this series on PBS... thats how funny it was. I had just had my broken nose set and had to turn it off because I was laughing so hard it was hurting.
In this series Blackadder is wittier, more sarcastic and slanderous, in other words hilarious, than any other (though the others are still great)! If you only buy one... buy this one. Its funnier than Mr. Bean and will leave you wishing the BBC would make longer seasons, but... then the show might not be so good.
