DVD Reviews of Absolutely Fabulous: Complete DVD Collection
DVD Review: This is the ORIGINAL SERIES 1-3 not NOT 4-5 which were done later. NO LONGER "Complete"
Summary: 5 Stars
I love AB FAB but just wanted to add that this is complete in the sense it is the original series of 1-3. This does not have seasons 4-5. I hope Amazon updates that since they came out with more seasons and have the Absolutely Everything set now. This particular set is more a collector's item of the original run. Thanks!DVD Review: Okay
Summary: 4 Stars
It was advertised that this set included all seasons, it was actually only seasons 1-3, season 4 and 5 were not included.DVD Review: Great British Humor
Summary: 4 Stars
If you enjoy British Humor then these shows are for you! The main characters are fashion designers. They drink, do goofy stuff, and exhibit out-there antics. This is humor for the adult-partier-grown-up.DVD Review: Single Women ARE Absolutely Fabulous
Summary: 5 Stars
If you grew up in a disfunctional family along with most of the "Boomers", DO NOT MISS THIS GOOD TIME! The writers of this entire collection had to have known my best friend and myself. With the exception of the wealth of Eddy, and the temporary "sex change" operation of Patsy's, this surely could have been written about our lives. We love this entire collection. I'm convinced they did their research watching us.

DVD Review: Perfect mixture of intelligence and silliness in a fabulous BritCom, Sweetie Darling!
Summary: 5 Stars
It's a shame we don't get more exposure to British comedy here in The States, especially when you see a great show like this. Apparently, this show started as a skit on The French & Saunders Show. And although I've seen this skit (it's included on these DVDs), I've never seen a full episode of F & S. Which is a shame, because I've liked Dawn French in anything I've seen her in, including Vicar of Dibley. But in Ab Fab, writer Jennifer Saunders does a beautiful job in the role of Edina Monsoon, a woman who never outgrew the decadent drunken, drug-crazed lifestyle of her youth. And her teenage daughter, Saffron (or Saffy for short, played brilliantly by Julia Sawalha) is far too often forced to play a parental role in this dysfunctional family. Some of the best, most intelligent, insightful moments (both comedy and drama) come from the constant conflicts between mother and daughter. Edina's best friend from school, Patsy Stone (played admirably by ex-model Joanna Lumley) was unwanted by her mother while growng up, and so she's even more of a drunken, drug dependant, slutty mess than Edina...and Patsy has always openly resented Saffy for being an obstacle to Edina's hedonistic lifestyle. The partying antics of Edina and Patsy add just enough silliness to make the show more fun at appropriate intervals. So, there is plenty of intelligence, insight, debauchery and silliness to make this a great all-around comedy. It's just like when Edina says to Saffy, "It's lovely how I call you Sweetie Darling all the time, isn't it? I wonder how that started." Saffy replies, "It started because you couldn't remember my name for the first 3 years." We need to see more brilliant British comedy here in the U.S. If you're a fan of British comedy, this is a great addition to your collection. If you haven't seen this show (no matter what the reason is), you really ought to! I highly recommend this!

"Inside of me there's a thin woman trying to get out," complains the ever-suffering Edina. "Are you sure it's just the one, dear?" asks her mother.
When anyone raves about Sex and the City, you need only to remind her that the Brits did it first--and better--with the creation of the brave say-anything show about sex, drugs, and the battle of the bulge. Absolutely Fabulous is a groundbreaking, off-the-wall comedy from the early 1990s, which began with a skit from The French and Saunders Show, about a moral, uptight daughter and her extremely loose mother. Ab Fab has taken this to the extreme. Edina (Jennifer Saunders) is the queen of excess. Her clothes are outrageous, her attempts at weight loss comical, and her efforts at motherhood (her daughter, Saffron--played to perfection by Julia Sawalha--is a practical-minded, reliable teenager) are uneven at best. Eddy's best friend is Patsy, a promiscuous Ivana Trump look-alike who always has a cigarette between her lips, a drink in her hand, and a fine-looking man (or boy) in her bed. The entire show lasted for three seasons, and all are included in this set. From organizing an orgy to a brush with poverty to the death of Eddy's father, nothing--and we mean nothing--is sacred in this show. Without a doubt, Ab Fab is one of the greatest television satires created, although keep in mind that it's strictly for adults. --Jenny Brown
