The Absolutely Fabulous “Absolutely Everything” DVD Boxset Release will be Ab Fab

Have you been desperately waiting for a release of every episode of Ab Fab (Absolutely Fabulous)? Have there been long nights of watching reruns of other BBC shows, while you wallow in remorse of their lack of drunken antics and outrageous clothing? Well, I have news to lift those dour spirits. (And do try to smile no matter what, frown lines are very unbecoming. Tsk, tsk!)

I have been notified by Tvshowsondvd.com that the nine disc box set called Absolutely Fabulous - Absolutely Everything will be released on May 27th! It will be $129.98 SRP, but you can pre-order it from Amazon for just $90.99. Sounds absolutely fabulous to me.

If you don’t know of it, perhaps the tagline will perk your interest: “Sin is in, sweetie.” I first decided to try this show after hearing Sarah Jessica Parker of Sex and the City say that she really admired the physical comedy done on this highly regarded BBC show, and that she loved it. And - who am I to challenge SJP’s interests?

But it was dismay that came over me after I watched the dusty tape. Then I mulled it over, and gave it another try. It was then that I realized that I really did enjoy it. So, this show has the possibility to grow on you, the way drinking tea, or shopping on eBay does. You just have to be open to it.

And if you aren’t, what does that say about you? That you aren’t ready and willing to mature as a person in this world? Oh my! Open that mind! Let Buffy’s quote in the Yoko Factor (season four of BTVS) apply to you: “If I was any more open-minded about the choices you two make, my whole brain would fall out.”

You know -with that quote she very easily could have been talking to Eddie and Patsy from Ab Fab. I’ll display that a bit with some of the great dialogue they have on the show:
Eddie: Patsy hasn’t eaten since 1974.
Patsy: A crisp, darling. A crisp.

Gran: Talking to yourself dear? That’s the first sign of madness, you know.
Eddie: Really? I thought it was talking to you.

Eddie: [to Saffy her daughter] Oh, darling, Mummy loves you. On the day you were born I knew I wanted you…
Patsy: However, the day after…

Eddie: Mother, are you still on the computer?
Gran: Yes, dear. Sometimes you get into a porn loop and just can’t get out.

Eddie: I want total sensory deprivation and back-up drugs.

Oh Eddie, that does sound nice… I’m kidding! Maybe. What? I have to go! Oh please! My drug of choice is caffeine so as long as I have Diet Coke I’ll be fine. And when I run out I’m never against clawing at people until they sedate me with a shot glass filled with Diet Pepsi. That’s not high maintenance, right?

Until later,

Jessica Rae
