Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating: - Bust A Gut Funny
Jennifer Saunders is one of the sharpest, funniest, wittiest writers I'm aware of, as well as a very gifted physical comic who is at least as manic as John Cleese. So she whipped up this program, surrounded herself with some brilliant actresses, and wrote some parts for them all that allow them to maximize their use of what they do best.
And really, what else can I say? Sharp, irreverent, witty, brilliant, and utterly hilarious. It's actually quite rare for me to watch a TV program more than once. I shall be watching all 18 episodes of ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS more than once. Because it is -- please forgive me for saying it -- absolutely fabulous.
Rating:  - Drunk, stoned, nastier than yesterday
In past times, when I'm clearly outnumbered, I would just keep silent about my objections and opinions. I had a heart attack last year and now I am changing that. So, here goes about Absolutely Fabulous, my first viewing of the popular show that I heard so much about - even noted in this current edition of Oprah as a not-to-be-missed DVD series.
I found myself not laughing at all. Amazed, yes. Sad, yes. Puzzled, yes - especially that the audience was screaming with laughter and - eventually - actually applauding at all the abusive comments that were hurled - with no regard for anyone but the sender.
I'm sure this makes me sound like a bleeding heart and maybe I am, but this show is just not my idea of what makes funny, well, funny.
What am I missing here? I love to laugh as much as anyone. I have close girlfriends. I don't have a daughter (and if I did, I would be proud to have one like Saffy) but I do have three sons who are all kind, caring young men. I had a mother who was as immature and irresponsible as Eddie, so maybe I am one of the viewers who just kept waiting for things to "go somewhere" and they never did. People stayed stoned, drunk and abusive and stuck. Would someone please tell me what makes this funny? Are the Brits all that uptight that when they cut loose from that, it makes for uproarious humor? Is that it? It that what's funny to all those who obviously loved the show?
The writing was sharp and clever, in a "good retort" ... Read More
Rating: - AbFab
One of my favorite subversive TV shows. Hilarious Brit comedy about 2 alcoholic, sarcastic, deeply twisted middle-aged women.
Rating: - Absolutely Fabulous 1-3
This video was everything I remembered the show being. It is fun and better to share with those who have never seen "the girls". We are still going through our series and savoring each night!
Rating:  - Absolutely outrageous
The two principal characters are completely degenerate, much to Eddy's daughter's (Saffy) disgust. The utter shallowness of the characters and their complete lack of maturity would certainly be depressingly lame material in the hands of mediocre actresses but not here. Hysterical!
