David walked into the valley
With a stone clutched in his hand
He was only a boy
But he knew someone must take a stand
There will always be a valley
Always mountains one must scale
There will always be perilous waters
Which someone must sail

Posted: 8/11/04 at 6:38pmOH!!!! Absolutely Fabulous..........gotcha. Yes, I have heard of that and it is a funny show. I just thought AbFab was some exercise program on the "get buff, even if you have a heart attack doing it" channel

Posted: 8/11/04 at 6:42pmI do see where someone might think this. But I think if it were an exercise thing it would be Fab Ab. Isn't that sick? Everything can be an exercise scheme nowadays. We should market it.

Posted: 8/11/04 at 6:44pmAb Fab? It sounds like the title of a workout video.
You aren't feeling overwhelmed are you?

Posted: 8/11/04 at 6:46pmMy favorite british comedy EVER, is KEEPING UP APPEARANCES. I can't help but laugh when I see that show. Hyecinth is a great character

I love British sitcoms as well. Currently I like the 1970's sitcom with Elaine Stritch.
Also, "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme". If you like Kathy Burke in Ab Fab, try and find "G,G,G". She is one of the greatest actresses around.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

I hated it at first. I thought it was obnoxious.... yet somehow it is really addictive. After forcing myself to watch a few episodes I started to really like it. It's pretty entertaining.
I just wish they weren't so mean to Saffron!
does anyone else love Jennifer Saunders? How great was she in Shrek 2? I didn't realize she had such a good voice. Shes also in a few Friends episodes and is pretty funny.

Posted: 8/11/04 at 7:24pmJust love it!! How about Red Dwarf?

Posted: 8/11/04 at 7:45pmJennifer Saunders is a genius (and the entire cast is one of the finest comedic ensembles ever assembled). I saw the first few seasons so many times that I think that I have them permanently memorized.

Posted: 8/12/04 at 5:26pmThis is some of the most brilliant television ever. Jennifer Saunders really needs better representation -- she's under-performing.
Stop worrying about what I'm doing -- focus instead on what you're eating.

AB FAB is wonderful! Love it, love it, love it! I own all the original series episodes. Margo, sweetie darling, you are correct that Jennifer Saunders is a genius. (And wasn't she terrific as the voice of the fairy godmother in Shrek 2)? I had my picture made with Joanna Lumley's likeness at Madame Tussaud's in London. Jane Horrocks as Bubble is a scream. This is such a great show to drink champagne while watching!
What is everyone's favorite episode? I love the one where Edina, Patsy, and Saffron go to France and stay in the cottage by mistake rather than the chateau and get s--t-faced at the local winery. Good times.

Posted: 8/12/04 at 5:58pmThe episode where Edina decides she wants to adopt a baby and Bubble has multiple Romanian babies delivered in the middle of one of Saffron's college classes is hilarious, too.
