Blackadder (1983 - 1989)

Comedy, War & Politics | Jun 15, 1983 - Nov 2, 1989 | Ended

Through four series and a few specials, Edmund Blackadder and his greasy sidekick Baldrick conjure up cunning plans as Edmund tries to take advantage of desperate times. These situation tragedies had obvious parallels from the Dark Ages to Elizabethan times, the rule of mad George III, and The Great War.
