Any AbFab Fans here?
I absolutely ADORE Patsy and Edina!!!!

I identify more with Edina.



They're back!!!! :D

Absolutely Fabulous
09:00 PM - Oxygen
Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley return to American TV with an all-new season of their cult favorite sitcom, "Absolutely Fabulous." And it's about time ... I've missed those boozy broads. 2004 signals change for the ladies of Holland Park: Edina (Saunders) is now a celebrity publicist with daffy Bubbles (the hilarious Jane Horrocks) still in tow as her assistant. Meanwhile, Patsy (Lumley) has decided to ditch the glitzy world of celebrity magazines for the even more glamorous world of "celebrity stylists." Tonight, Saffy (Julia Sawalha) returns home from months abroad as an aid worker in Iraq -- and she has a very surprising announcement.

4. Loved the "White Slave" episode
Where Patsy traded Saffy for some "really good sh*t".

And the one where Patsy and Eddie spend the holiday in the gatehouse of the French chateau.

And Popspecks.

Fabulous, dahling, really.

Edited on Fri Jan-02-04 05:41 PM by nothingshocksmeanymo
The Eiffel Tower/ Modeling episode and the one where they had the blind dates with the hardner aphrodesiac were my favorites!
They both rock and all the characters are a scream...

10. How funny...I was about to start the same thread!
Edited on Fri Jan-02-04 06:48 PM by Cannikin
I LOVE them. I have every available DVD...and I'm stressing 'cause I dont have the Oxygen channel, so I cant see the new ones until they come out on video!

What about French & Saunders? That is great too. No real boozing or drugs, but those two are INSANE! They spoof some great American TV and movies...like Lord of the Rings:

Saunders:"It was the second age of Middle Earth...it was twinklety twinklety two...it was... the middle ages...it was Cinderella times.

French: "Was that before or after Repunzel?"

Saunders: "And where-to-for and where-with-all there were forged nine rings. Each bestowing powers on the wearer....stroke..wearers.
Three rings for eleven kings."

French: "No, thats elven. Elven kings."


AAAAAnyway.....Its really funny.

Thanks for the update! I like Edina too-she is a great physical comedian a la Lucille Ball.

12. I was just thinking it too... they had some episodes on last night
My favorite scene is where Eddie socks that married teacher who tries to come on to Saffy. I was really pleased to see that there would be new episodes tonight.

I liked that episode when they lived in the farmhouse in France, too, one of my favorites, and anytime Twiggy and Lulu are on. I think my favorite is the one where they try to get male prostitutes through Eddie's hairdresser - one of them brings along a drag queen who Eddie's mum keeps calling "Patsy" --- through a series of wildly contrived errors, Saffy ends up showing an old tape of an orgy in Eddie's living room (when she and Pats were young) to a genetics class, and they all burst in to try and stop it. They're too late, of course, but Eddie's mum is looking at the tape of the sex and drugs and thinking to herself, "how could I ever have thought those curtains went with that carpeting?"

16. Oh NO! Arrrrggghhh! Somebody PLEASE help me here.
I am a fanatic about this show - posted here about it several times. Posted a while back that there would be new episodes coming, I knew they were coming, looking forward to it big time.

And now, here they are, and - I don't get Oxygen! This is terrible.

What the hell happened to Comedy Central running this show?! :grr:

Somebody's gotta help me here. Any chance a good samaritan DUer might tape the new eps and mail them to me if I pay for the tapes and the postage? (assuming that's leagal) Any other ideas or suggestions?

Damn, this bites.

17. Oxygen, eh?
Seem to remember something about this not too long ago.

Gotta pay a bundle more for the super deluxe digital service to get Oxygen from the local Cablevision.

This really blows.
