When I was still a kid (maybe when I was 7 years old) my dad used to watch Mr. Bean and that's the time I started to watch Bean shows not always but maybe once a week... I can't admit he is really funny! I also watched the Bean movie... Anyways. now, i had this little brother 2 years of age. He started to watch the Mr. Bean cartoons when he was still 1 year old. And he also watched the Mr. Bean (not the cartoons but the real Mr. Bean) at first it's really cute that at early age he is really a fan of Mr. Bean he memorized all the schedules that the Disney Channel would show the Mr.Bean But the thing is... is it good or bad for the kid to watch the show? Last month i gave an orange fruit to my brother he is supposed to eat it but instead he used it as a door knob get it? he placed the orange in the door knob and continuously turns it like when you do to a door knob. I asked him what he is doing he just said "like Mr.Bean!" i remember an episode of the Mr. Bean where he was panicking to get the door knob because the paint will explode then instead he reached for the apple... my point here is that with the stupid attitude of Mr. Bean children might idolize him and follow him.... is it good coz its funny and entertaining or is it bad??

I love your question. My 2 nieces are so in love with Mr. Bean. You can hear their laughter soaring to high heavens every time they watch him. But honestly speaking, I personally believe that he is not a good example to the kids. An episode showing him in the hospital wherein he stole the priority number of the woman sitting on the wheel chair. I tried to dissuade them from watching the show and I tell you, it is always a struggle. I try to skip the channel where Mr. Bean is shown when they watch TV. Happy posting!!!

In those kind of shows their should be a PARENTAL GUIDANCE ms. kamilledos. Parents should be there while their kids are watching this kind of movies to explain to them what happen and identify it to their kids those bad and good things from the show. Welcome to mylot. Happy posting.
