Indeed.

Blackadder is just too funny.
I didn't like series 1 at all (too much shouting and well... just not *that* funny), but the quality drastically improves from series 2 on.
Series 3 are the funniest in my opinion...
the prince: "What I can't understand is why anyone would want to kill you, Blackadder"
Blackadder: "I rather think that it was you they were after, your Highness"
the prince: "What makes you say that?"
Blackadder: "Well, the words 'Death to the stupid prince' first brought it to my attention"

Always enjoyed blackadder, from when I was a wee nipper and stuff of baby eating bishops went over my head, to nowadays, with my finely developed sense of humour "I say, duck, sounds a bit like "bum!"!"
*falls around laughing*
not seen much of Bottom or the young Ones, what I have seen was excellent, though...

I particularly enjoyed the fourth series (that is the one in the trenches, right?) and wasn't quite as keen on the third series.

I think a particularly great aspect of the series is its still great today. I am fifteen and so i wasnt even born when the series finished in 89 but it is one of my fave shows today.
The DVDs are currently £45 on play.com and amazon by the way, but with that you do get the two christmas specials.
(I got the standard box set with just the 4 seasons on and that was £40 a few months back.)
