Would disagree with that considering I watched most it's run as a kid. Yes, there are bits in the show which as an adult may not seem suitable but like many shows and films, especially of that era, there are bits in their for the adults which would go over the kids heads.

Yes, but if a parent sees a U rating attached to something they expect it (reasonably so) to be suitable for kids, but some of Mr. Bean is not. It may seem tame compared to some stuff rated PG but that doesn't matter because it should be rated independently of and where it belongs. If need be, re-classify the unsuitable to be PG stuff in question as 12/12A.
