That was a close one.

The LAST thing this show needs is for stupid Americans who've never seen it before making judgments on the AbFab name based on the trash the American version certainly would have been.

UGGGGGGGGGGGGGH!

Could you imagine?

Me: OMG Let's watch AbFab!
Stupid American: That show is STUPID!
Me: The British version?
Stupid American: What are you talking about?

UGGGH! That would piss me off....

Yep, I heard it wasn't even picked up to run as a pilot. It's for the best.

Ok just found something on it...confirmed:

That's what I've heard. I popped in the season 2 DVD this weekend and enjoyed it as usual. I hope the pilot at least leaks before Fall, it'd be nice to see the American stab at this classic.

Seems to me that article is based on nothing more than seeing those pictures. That person even said they haven't seen the pilot.

I know someone who watched them film this and they said it was hilarious. Of course, it's always different in front of a live audience and those of us super Ab Fab fans will be more hard to please, but rest assured, there is drinking. And, Kathryn Hahn apparantly makes a great Eddy.

What's the point of having a Patsy character if she can't do lots of ecstacy and cocaine and have a massively serious drinking problem?

I actually think a US AbFab would work if it were two ghettolicious black women.

Being PC misses the whole point of the show. It's like trying to remake All In The Family with Archie being an emo, self-aware guy. :lol

Yeah, I know it's been off the air for years, but I know we have lots of threads started for shows no longer on the air. BBC America shows repeats of this every Friday night and I still find these episodes hilarious all these years later. The whole cast of characters were brilliant...Eddie, Patsy, Gram, Bubble, Saff, Bo (that Mo Gaffney creation), etc.

There have to be other Sucksters who enjoy this show too....right?? Discuss.
