Absolutely Fabulous - Absolutely Everything (DVD, 2008, 9-Disc Set)

Having followed the whole series from England to the U.S. and back, my biggest regret was that I had the entire collection - but in VHS. So once I bought an HDTV and HD Recorder, it was goodbye to Patsy and Edina and the entire AB FAB cast. I could not have been more pleased to hear that the ENTIRE collection was going to be reissued in DVD. It was long overdue, but I bought my copy the week they came out. With all the extras added to this collection, it seems almost twice the size of the original VHS AB FAB. Buy this. If you are or were an Ab Fab fan, you will not regret it. And for those of you who missed it the first time around, here's a chance to hear some of the funniest comedy you will ever hear from across the pond.

The collection comes in a beautifully crafted quilted-ish binder. The discs and interior dividers are similarly well-done. I was suprised at the quality of the materials. Top notch.

As for the series, any die-hard AbFab fan will want to have this item. For those that haven't acquainted themselves with Absolutely Fabulous, it is a comedy between mother/daughter/best-friend that is turned quite on its head against a backdrop of 1990's/2000's pop references, open drug use, and bacchanalian extravangance.

At times the antagonism between characters can seem somewhat ascerbic, but hilarious diatribes as well as old fashioned slapstick glue it together nicely. Even the least self-absorbed viewer may feel a tinge of self-conscious empathy for the pains of main characters.

It appears AbFab is traveling across the pond and in production in LA for release during the 2009 Fall Season. We shall see. It may have to be toned down for American prime time tastes. Even though the first series was shot in 1992, it probably would push the envelope too far even today.

This is one of the greatest british comedies ever made! This is almost 20 years old since its debut and can be watched over and over and laugh EVERY time. It is outrageous and hilarious - makes one wish they could behave that way and get away with it. Jennifer Saunders is a comedienne in a league of her own. The chemistry of Saunders and Lumley (with the silent partner of Dawn French) is genius.

Seasons 1-3 were the funniest - outrageous. The 'Last Shout' - "movie" was a great finish to season 3.

Seasons 4-5 were darker and the main characters changed from funny to different - not as enjoyable - these 2 seasons were invaded by an overabundance of celebrity usage which took away from Edina, Patsy, Saffy, and Gran.

Highly recommend to anyone who likes to laugh - over and over. This comedy is best suited for persons who aren't offended easily, can laugh over the absurd -and not take things too seriously.

Enjoy!

This my friends is the best British Comedy series ever. I always laugh out loud every time I watch it. It's simply just too funny. A must see, a must buy!!

Jennifer Saunders is a comedy genius. I have been a fan of the show ever since its debut in the early 90's. Based off a French and Saunders skit called "A modern mother and daughter," the concept couldn't be more true and in truth is the greatest comedy.

Ab Fab is such a funny series. I hated to see it end. You have to buy this DVD set, you will NOT be disappointed.

I first bought this a couple of weeks ago and thought it was a very reasonable price for it, and I was right! It's well organized and neat. I love every minute and second watching AB FAB! I'm really glad that I found someone on Ebay with such a great price for such an outstanding series! Now I just hope to find someone with Will & Grace. All 9 disc's were there, all in great condition not even one scratch on them. The case was perfectly new, and no stains anywhere. Thank You. Well recommended.

I bought the Absolutely Fabulous Box set a couple of weeks ago and was very impressed with the condition of the cds. They were sent very promptly and packaged very nicely. I was very happy with my purchase. I would definently recomend this seller.

all the classics back in one chic padded book. includes the rare pilot of the would-be mirrorball series, and all kinds of extras!

I love the price for a brand new packaged dvd collection. I have searched for awhile now for this collection for a great price.. Its just like the title says "Absolutely Fabulous-Absolutely Everything

These videos are wonderful, funny and entertaining. The case is beautiful and the whole set arrived quickly and is a great asset to comedy in your household, especially for women....

I love that it's so complete. I love the girls, they are hysterical. I especially love the out takes. I highly recommend it to all AB FAB fans.

It's been years since I've seen any episode's of Abfab and it still makes me laugh! What a fantastic series! "Don't questions me" go and buy this set now..it's ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!

The women are monsters. They are incredibly selfish and self-centered . They personify the worst of humanity yet they make it funny. You can almost feel sorry for them at times with thier pathos. The timing is remarkable and laughs abound. This set is one of the best DVDs ever done besides "Keeping Up Appearances." How come the british do comedy so well and we always fall short? As old as some of these episodes are they are funny then anything on television curently and I rather watch these discs then be bored cahanel surfing. Go out and spend the money for hours of merryment. Thank you girls for making me laugh.

The shipping was abit slow. But I never worry about that, as long as I love the product. Which I do. Was delivered perfect and beautiful.
Thanks

For any fan of the "Absolutely Fabulous" series, this Jammed box-set is a MUST. This 9-Disc compilation has everything Jennifer Saunders has beautifully and hilariously written. Buy it and you will not be unhappy with your doubts, just laughing your way through 5 seasons, and 3 specials, plus all the out-takes and special features.

This collection is Great.The packaging is really fun.If you are a fan of this show.........this is a must have.Well worth the price for what you get.You really do get everything and more !! ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS SAYS IT ALL
