5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic British comedy as usual, December 16, 1999

Being a Brit living in America I miss the comedy most of all so being able to get Ab Fab on video is excellent. I found the France section of this video fantastic (especially with the 'stolen' steering wheel) and Patsy's horror when she realised she had actually enjoyed playing ping pong without the usage of drugs. Fantastic series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Episode Titles.......Please?, April 25, 2000

Ok.

Yes, Saunders and Lumley have created two living legends with their characters Edina and Patsy. But make no mistake boys and girls, this is highbrow humor. The average American couch potato might not "get" what is going on at times. (i.e. "why is that so funny?) However, if you enjoy Monty Python, Mr. Bean, Are You Being Served, or any other form of English humor, you will find this show admist your favorites. But, yet again, even if you do not like English humor I suggest you try it one more time......I never get tired watching these two perform.

Episode Guide:

FASHION - Edina freaks out because she has a fashion show to organize and this time she has to be sober. (until afterwards.......)

FAT - Edina diets to impress old rival. And Patsy pairs up with a gym instructor who helps her out.....sort of.......

FRANCE - ABSOLUTELY one of the best AB FAB episodes....... Holiday! Pats and Eddie go on a French holiday, which includes getting lost, Pats enjoying ping pong sober, and the odd French man who keeps arriving periodically at the front door to harass them.........

5.0 out of 5 stars amazing british comedy, December 5, 1999

ab fab is totally amazing. the series characters are so totally outrageous that you wont believe it however my english husband says that he knew people just like them! they relate to every day life in their own unique way yet somehow it is always relevant to today. women especially can relate to eddie & patsy regardless of the year. somehow the men are always condescending yet the "girls" see through it and triumph. Eddie & Patsy are always enertaining trying to be adult while remaining in the adolescent sixties! if you appreciate a dry english sense of humor these characters will appeal to you.
