Why is this a tv series?

The only actor .. LEFT? Do you mean politically, or 'alive'?

In any case, I think there are so many others that you should check out, because Atkinson's stuff can be quite a lot of 'hit and miss'. It's brilliant at its best, it's horrible at its worst. Watch the awful Mr. Bean-movies and the 'Johnny English'-movies to see his bad stuff, and watch the Mr. Bean TV show and Black Adder for his good stuff.

In any case, how about Hale & Pace? They were very varying duo, so it's not just slapstick, but they were perhaps the funniest comedy duo I have ever seen.

Then there is John Cleese and all the Monty Python stuff, the old Seinfeld show with Kramer falling all over the place, even 'The Office' has its share of slapstick.

Now, I was never a big fan of slapstick - a pie on someone's face is not something I can find humor in. Maybe I am faulty that way, but I just don't understand where the 'funny' stuff is, it's like a fart joke, what's funny about a natural bodily function? Someone getting hurt is never funny to me, and I just think of the poor guy (it's usually a guy) who has to wash his face repeatedly to try to get the smell of butter or cream out and it can stink like that for days, and from what I heard, is quite an ordeal.

There are plenty of older comedy movies that have pretty good slapstick, though, like Spaceballs, Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! or Airplane!.

(Sorry if I messed up the exclamation points, I don't see the point in using those in names)

In the end, I don't think Mr. Bean can be fully be classified as 'slapstick', even though it doesn't rely much on dialogue. I still prefer Black Adder's more cerebral style to slapstick, but to each their own. I think Atkinson's schtick is a bit old and worn-out, just like Jim Carrey's.

Once you've seen Liar, Liar and the Ace Ventura movies, you can easily realize that's pretty much his whole bag of tricks, he has nothing more to show you, it's just repetition or variation of those things.
