Absolutely Fabulous: 20th Anniversary Specials (DVD+UltraViolet)

This is a nice wrap up to the 5 seasons of Ab Fab. It's great to see everyone again. I love the irreverence, name dropping, guest stars [who ARE stars], & how nothing & no one is off limits from the sharp tongue barbs of Eddy & Patsy. I have loved this show from the beginning & whenever I am feeling down, I pop in the DVD's & I am laughing my a$$ off. My daughter gave me the complete series [which is in a beautiful quilted, silver case] for Mother's Day a few years ago. One of the best gifts I've received. Will last forever. The chemistry among the cast is fantastic. To see Saffy & then watch her character, Dorcas Lane in Lark Rise from Candleford blows me away. What talent & acting skills Julia has. Except for the drugs, alcohol, & promiscuity [Patsy], I am 90% Eddy & 10% Patsy. I'm always trying New Age fads [chanting, crystals, enlightenment retreats], there's an ex I detest, have children, grandchildren, weight issues, & I like dressing up & looking glamorous. I envy Jennifer Saunders' talent for writing these shows. Where does she get her ideas from? Great imagination and/or maybe slices of real life? I like seeing bits of London, Paris, & other places when the show has gone on location. I envy Joanna's looong legs. Would love to see more Ab Fab shows. I can't get enough. I'm addicted, lol.

This is my most favorite television show ever! I can't get enough of Patsy and Eddie's antics! This is one of the funniest shows on television. It's nice to have them all back again for another go 'round of laughter! I have been a fan of this show for many years and re-watch it whenever I need a laugh and am never disappointed. I never get tired of seeing these folks! Jennifer Saunders is one of the funniest comedians out there. I also watch her on the 'French & Saunders' shows that she does with her 'comedy partner' Dawn French. You can't go wrong with Absolutely Fabulous!!!

20 years after the series first aired it was good to see what this bunch of crazies were up to and they did not disappoint in these 3 episode - Edwina and Patsy are as narcisistic as every Safron is still uptight - Bubbles is still an idiot and Mrs. Moonsoon is still amazing with her one line zingers. Even the Olympics is not spared the indignity of Patsy and Edwina's antics - I loved every moment of this and would recommend it as a must have

Oh my gosh, my golly-- Do I love this show! I could never give it less than five stars. For any woman over 35-- this will speak to you at some point. Yes, Eddie and Patsy drink too much, Patsy is often drug addled, they are entirely superficial and poor Saffy (Eddie's daughter) is a work horse in their house... they behave badly and yet-- THEY UNDERSTAND US! Whether it's jokes about menopause, or the downsides of being ambitious and a mother, or dating as someone out of their 20's, or divorce, or the affects of having children on one's body, aging- Jennifer Saunders (the writer and actress that plays Eddie) does a great job of writing this, the actors are all perfect for their parts, and it's just hilarious. Watch all the seasons right from the beginning for the best experience. I love this scene-- Eddie pulls up her shirt for Patsy and says "Honestly, what's your opinion. Be honest" and Patsy replies something along the lines of "Surgery. Liposuction on the stomach and hips, umm bum lift, boob lift, lose a rib."

It was such a joy to see Eddie and Patsy and the crew back together again. For those familiar with the show, these episodes will be a treat - they are not the best that the series has had to offer, but there are plenty of jokes that land strongly and a lot of nods to previous episodes. If you are new to the series, do NOT start here. Start from season 01. My favorite of the three 20th anniv specials is "Job." Jane Horrocks gets to show off her voice talents in a surprising way that had me practically rolling on the floor laughing.

I first saw ab.fab. years ago in New York. I was living there in the 80's. A friend had it on, when my girlfriend and I stopped over before going to CBGG's. I loved it!! However, thanks to my dad, Ihad a slight advantage. He was always watching British sitcoms on public televidion in New Orleans. From his favorite Benny Hill, to my favorites Fawlty Towers, andARE YOU BEING SERVED. Now 25 years later, I have the entire collection of Absolutely Fabulous, on DVD and on hulu plus. Both Jeniffer Saunders, and Joanna Lumley, are beyond hilarious! We also have Jane Horruks, aka. BUBBLE, and Katy Grin. Saffy, Gran, Bo and Marshall, Justin. IT IS SO SO TWISTED, IT REMINDS ME OF MY LIFE, WITHOUT THE MONEY!! BUT THE GENIUS OF SAUNDERS & DAWN FRENCH (The Vicar of Dibley), THEY HAVE IT, HAVE HAD IT FOR YEARS....AND I BLOODY WELL WANT IT TOO,,,, NO I DESERVE IT , AS MY LA DE DA RICH BITCH TROLL FROM HELL SISTER DOSEN'T!!!!!? IWANT IT OH EDDIE, ED, ED I still wear my 5 inch stilletos to work, my sister owns a pub, where I work as her slave bartender Love, love you all....also Titticaca!!!! Lisa deville New Orleans

The episodes go from really funny (the first one) to crazy, but not quite as good as the first one (second episode) to funny, but could have been funnier (third episode). Each episode contains a new classic moment that will make you chuckle after the fact. Some episodes are funny overall without a lot of laughs throughout, but that doesn't describe any of these three. The special features are very good. There's the filming of a PSA or something with most, but not all of the characters that is very funny, but I don't think the final result is shown. That part is packed with big name celebrities. Unfortunately, my dog got a hold of the packaging and chewed it up, though the discs were not damaged, I won't rest until I get a new copy. If you agree with me that the funniest episode ever is when Saffron writes the play about her childhood then you'll probably agree with my thoughts more or less. Can't wait for more.....

I really enjoyed this DVD, Patsy and Eddie are still as fabulous as ever. The part that I find funny is after 20 years; they have learned nothing and done nothing with their lives. I laugh at the idea that for them, every day is a self induced, strung out adventure where they try again to climb to the top of the who's who world only to fall on their face so they can try again tomorrow; certainly persistent. Worth point out too that at least Patsy has come to realize that she is getting old and does not want to do the club seen anymore. Eddie refuses to give that up.

These three episodes are very current including one covering Olympic fever. These ladies have not lost any of their capacity to make us laugh. If you enjoyed the original series then you will enjoy this DVD. The only minor drawback is that Jane Horrocks as Bubble looks misplaced in middle age in a "mutton dressed as lamb" sense.

It's Ab Fab. Enough said.

I am so happy that you FINALLY got this back in stock. I have been looking for it for years. I used to watch the show on PBS and was sad when it ended. FUNNY FUNNY show!!!

In this newest installment, Patsy and Eddie are crazy as always and actually are looking quite good considering the last episodes were shot some years ago. This disc contains only 3 episodes, so I guess they will be releasing another in the upcoming year. The price on this is a little high, but if you love Ab Fab, you must get this one.
