If you for some reason have not seen this amazing series you must buy it now and watch it! Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley are comic geniuses! Geniuses I say! You cannot watch this series and not fall in love with the cast and even learn to forgive Eddie and Patsy's awful behavior. Why are you still reading this review? Go now! Buy this and enjoy! You're welcome!

Having been all of three years of age when Absolutely Fabulous first graced our screens, it was only ten years later that I got my first taste of the wonder that is Edina Monsoon, Patsy Stone and the rest of the wonderful gang. Within minutes, I was as hooked to this funky, off-the-wall sitcom as my favourite duo are to a nice bottle of Stoli.The writing is sharp, witty and definitely survives the test of time, the acting is brilliant, the characters are hilarious... what is there not to love? Okay, so there aren't any real story arcs that stretch beyond an episode, but when I watch Ab Fab, I'm not looking for that. If I'm in the mood for some real British comedy at its best, a chance to laugh out loud and escape daily stresses for half an hour (or an entire day if I include one of my more excessive Ab Fab binges) then this is the box set I choose.All of the main characters shine throughout the series, from the extremely immature and pathetically (in the best way possible) inept Eddie, to the never eating yet forever drinking Patsy, and long- suffering Saffy, away with the fairies Gran, and quite possibly from another planet Bubble to boot.This little show is so unpolitically correct at times that it can make me cringe (while laughing like a loon), it's so wrong in places that it really is right, and it unabashedly sticks with its characters and makes us love them even when, sometimes, maybe we shouldn't. With countless awards, a cult following, and now a movie in the works, I really do believe that Absolutely Fabulous will continue to be just that in another 22 years.

My husband and I agree that Johnny Depp, no matter what HE says, had to take as his model for the pirate Edina's character. In some outfits, except for the goatee, he is a dead ringer for her and her actions. When I saw the Pirate movies for the first time I kept thinking it reminded me of something I had seen elsewhere. Then I was flipping through the channels and there it was! Eddy was in the kitchen and she had a scarf around her head and twitching her head just like the pirate. I know Mr. Depp claims that he got his moves from a rock star, and possibly this is true for some of it, but somewhere, sometime he too was exposed to Ab Fab.
