AB FAB and Pre New Year's Eve

While on a visit to Austin, I bought the DVDs of series 5 and what is called "White Box" which includesmone episode on DVD and other specials about the Absolutely Fabulous series from BBC.

I am a HUGE fan of AB FAB Series 1-3.

I enjoyed Series 4, as well, but it wasn't as great.

I have heard people say for a long time that the final season was horrible. I watched it all the way through while house cleaning today.

I have to say Series 5 was ok, but it lacked a lot that the first series had, but to say it was horrible, I don't know. They tried to put an internationally known star (i.e. Emma Bunton, Mini Driver, Elton John, etc.) in every episode because I think they were going to try to sell it to a wider audience. The part that got me is that the character's personalities essentially changed.

The disk entitled White Box had one episode with the same name. I have to say that this episode probably wasn't supposed to be included in any compilation because it is indeed crap. It looks to be the last episode except for a Comic Relief Episode (which I haven't seen). Everyone was very out of character and the mother did something at the end that I don't think she would EVER DO IN A MILLION YEARS. All through the series Edina would yell at her daughter and maybe emotionally screw up her daughter, but she didn't hit her kid. At the end, they had Edina hit her GRANDDAUGHTER. NO. NO. She might yell at her granddaughter to shut her up (which I don't like) , but never hit her. So I think that is why this episode was looked at and Jennifer Saunders (who plays Edina and writes all the series episodes) said Nahh not her.

So to go back to their roots, I uploaded some AB FAB to my You Tube that is from the NEW YEARS EVE episode. Edina is complaining because the world is not revolving around her at that moment and Patsy's sister has shown up. The usual insults flow to Edina's daughter as usual.
