The Black Adder [DVD]

Nothing is better than British comedy, and nobody is better suited for such, than the rubber faced comedic artist, Rowan Atkinson. His faces are classic and the lines he spews are genius!!! I LOVE this show, and Mr.Atkinson himself. I can't wait to have the entire series to watch again and again.

Rowan Atkinson's most brilliant character...that horrid little man!

A hillarious show. My mom had told me about this old series long ago, and I was delighted to find it for sale on Amazon. I can't wait to buy the rest of the series!

I grew up watching Black Adder on TV and so this was a no-brainer. Rowan Atkinson as Black Adder is bloody brilliant!

I first saw this on PBS. This show is great if you appreciate the type of humor presented.

I am a Black Adder fan, and this completes my collection! This one was the funniest one of them all.

Wonderful & whimsical recreation of a fictional fool in Ye Olde Tutor England.A treat for anyone who loves both humor and history

I watched about fifteen minutes of this slapstick travesty and threw it in the trash. Really enjoyed Black Adder II. Having seen other episodes from other seasons that I liked, this was a surprise. Viewer, pay attention to other reviews. I didn't. I was warned. Do not rent or buy.

I understand a lot of people love this series, and that's nice. Really, it is. However, I don't know if it's the homely characters, the musty-looking dark sets, or the dizzying pace... but I just don't like this series.Rowan Atkinson (Johnny English, Mr Bean) never looked better, the story lines seem interesting, but when I get a few minutes into each episode, my skin starts to crawl and I try to stick it out, hoping the show will get better and hoping I might start to laugh, but I don't.I can't help it. I just don't find this series funny, and I just don't like it.

I still remember how I accidently stumbled across this series many years ago, channel surfing and finding some very strange show on PBS (it was the Archbishop episode). I ended up on the floor laughing. If you love Monty Python, Red Dwarf, Bottom etc you will love this series. There are four series within the series and the beauty is they are all great, and you will want to watch them over and over and over.
