Writer's Block: It's a wonderful life!

Until a couple years ago, I would have said that I didn't have one. I don't watch Christmas specials or Christmas-related movies. They aren't my cup of tea, given my preference for Halloween and horror movies. However, thanks to a chance encounter on BBC America either last year or the year before, I now watch Blackadder's Christmas Special (from 1988, according to what I've read). They seem to have taken to showing it every year, a few days to a week before Christmas.

Despite the fact I don't usually care for Rowan Atkinson, (Curse of the Fatal Death is a rare exception to this--I loathe Mr. Bean) I think it's funny.

They don't show Blackadder on BBC America, so outside of the Christmas special I've never seen the show. It's on my list to eventually try.

Blackadder is BRILLIANT! All of it. (And this is coming from someone who also loathes Mr. Bean. I hate that RA went from doing on of the most brilliant comedy programs ever to that drivel.)

Though my favorite Christmas specials is, and always will be, A Muppets Christmas Carol.

Blackadder is absolutely wonderful. I still quote it on a regular basis. Just the other day I said to Avi "Oh Edmund, not the sheep."

And there's always the classic "To you, Baldric, the Renaissance was something that happened to other people."

Blackadder (especially Blackadder Goes Forth) is utterly brilliant. It's about as unlike Mr Bean as a thing can be.

There was a Blackadder Christmas show being shown on BBC America this year--Blackadder's Christmas Carol. But it's already aired.
