Fabulous![.]
I started to write a really long review describing the brilliance of Absolutely Fabulous thanks to the key writer Jennifer Saunders. How there's nothing on our stations that come close to it. Then I realized that not everyone will get it! Sure, Saunders doesn't pull any punches when busting on everyone from The Queen to Madonna. How she shows the world how silly we can be when going threw our mid-life crises! And how honest she portrays her character, Edina Monsoon, a twice divorced upper-middle class single parent (and I use the word parent lightly) who just wants to party, party and party! That's it and nothing else. Anytime she gets an attack of reality, her best friend Patsy, played by Joanna Lumley, yanks her back into the little world they created where they exonerated themselves of all responsibility. All I can tell you is 2 things:
1)Absolutely Fabulous is the most entertaining satire I have ever had the privlidge to watch. I've seen every episode so many times, I've lost count, and still laugh in all the spots I laughed the first time. They never get old or tired.
2)The extras (and I'm not an extras guy) are as entertaining, every disc shows bloopers and outtakes from that season. They also included the original skit that Jennifer Saunders did, with her then partner in comedy, Dawn French. You get to see how the show came about and it is worth it! The last great extra is a skit that Saunders wrote for a Variety Show using the entire cast of ABFAB. It's fun to see the whole cast playing in different roles.
That's it, that's all I can say about this. If you are a fan of Absolutely Fabulous, you must get this. If you are a fan of funny shows, than you must get this, or If you are just looking for a breath of fresh air and want to take a chance on something that could be that... This is it![.]

Just A Smidge...
A terrific compiliation, missing only AbFab : The Last Shout. As fast paced and as irreverent as one could hope for, Saunders wrote a series which makes most comedies pale by comparison. Booze - soaked and drugged to the hilt at times, Patsy is a terrific sidekick and partner for Eddy, who reminds me of a very bad modern art canvas come to life. The daughter, Saffy, remains as always, the moral compass...while managing some of the best and most sarcastic lines in the series. Some episodes may drag a bit, but it's well worth the time to sit and laugh at these women who somehow make it the day. Kudos to the writers and the cast.

Fabulous!
This is a MUST OWN cd for all Jennifer Saunders fans. It is truly hilarious. I especially like her voiceover which tells you all the behind the scenes info.
This is the best purchase I have made on Amazon.
