Avoid the first series It's absolute crap, Even those behind it think so It's strange watchimg the first series now as it began with Blackadder being the dumb-ass and Baldrick being the brains of the operation! As Blackadder's intelligence went up, his social standing dropped (Prince, nobleman, butler, army captain).

Surely you can't forget that Blackadder the Second episode where the crew enlist the help of Tom Baker and his pirate boat to invade France, and end up falling asleep from drink and being somewhere else entirely. America, I think it was? {Spoiler} Actually, wasn't the plan to pretend to go on an expedition, and just drop anchor off the coast of France? Wait a minute ... I think they wanted to go exploring, but the captain didn't know how to get there. So when they figured that they'd just pretend and go to France, but the captain didn't know how to get there, either. If I remember correctly, they ended up in Australia and finally found their way back after the captain had been eaten by cannibals. But they did bring back a peculiar wine ... ;D

What happened was. They made a bet with Sir Walter Raleigh that they couldn't do what he did, so they plan to go to France for a month and come back and lie about discovering some new country, but the captain doesn't know how to get anywhere, even France, and they end up in Australia.

You can't go wrong with Rowan Atkinson. Best thing to come out of England since The Beatles...hell, better than the Beatles. They really should get around to that Black Adder Five idea. Even if just for a special.

One of the greatest things I have ever seen and can't recommend enough is "Black Adder's Christmas Carol". This is a must watch for me every time it's on. It's an amazing show and perfect antidote for the usual Christmas feel-good stuff you get. Brilliant tv. The whole series is amazing.
Red Dwarf is great as well. I never saw the later seasons but I heard the show dipped in quality.
But check out BA' Christmas Carol. Great stuff.

I was referring specifically to that proposed fifth series idea "The Blackadder Five" set in the 1960's with Blackadder as the manager of a Beatles-esque band with a drummer named "Bald Rick".

The 3rd series is best, especially Stephen Frys Duke of Wellington

Its awesome. The last series IMO is by far the best series of the lot, which takes place during WW1. Its amazing. Arguably one of the finest endings to a television series ever.

Really? THE EARL OF DONCASTER(sic)?
I always chuckle at that for some reason.
BA is a great series, great thing to show to a Bean-only exposed American that Atkinson isn't just a mime without make-up.

Great show. I always enjoyed season 2 and season 3 equally.
