    I remember watching this a few times when it came on Comedy Central, and I found nothing entertaining about it at all.

    Pretty fair show for one with such an obviously low budget. Worth an occasional viewing.

    The proper way to do totally repulsive humans with no redeeming qualities but still make you love them and laugh till you pee yourself. American shows try this but always end up making the characters softies under a nasty exterior-BIG MISTAKE

    I believe this show is one of the wittiest, intelligent shows ever made. It's self-mocking, and by the very fact Jennifer Saunders writes it solo, it's consistent.

    I like this show. Edwina and Patsy make a very twisted team.

    other than Monty Python and the guys from The Young Ones/Bottom, most british people dont make me laugh. Plus, Drunken Women are a turn-off.

    A popular christmas tradition in the UK is pantomime. This consists of around a dozen or so stories that get played out in theatres, usually starring D-list celebrities such as game show hostesses and soap actors. Popular shows include 'Aladdin', 'Jack and the beanstalk' and 'Cinderalla'. Anyway, actual acting is not required, just the ability to overact, shout loudly and have exaggerated mannerisms..pretty much like what goes on in 'Absolutely Fabulous'.

    Such fresh comedy, well acted by Jennifer Saunders, Joanna Lumley, Julia Sawala, Jane Horrocks, and June Whitfield. In your face, no excuses, brash humor that is well written and executed.

    Absolutely NOT! I like offbeat comedy and I like some Brittish comedy, but this one really sucks....I get the jokes but they are not funny. I guess it was made for a special kind of viewer, one who can't handle comedy that has any degree of intelligence.

    I agree with ClassicTVFan47; I don’t really care for the "Sin is In" thing. But still, this weird but very original British comedy hits some kind of warped note with me - I have never quite been able to figure out why. The closest I can come is that it is so perversely silly that these two women can't figure out how twisted and awful they really are. That and sometimes Patsy's hair sticking straight up on one side as she comes up from the kitchen table is just flat out visually hilarious. In a way, I think it makes fun of decadence more than it encourages it. Well, at least I'm certainly not inspired to emulate Pats and Edina (or anyone else on the show for that matter). Not bad if not taken too seriously and in small doses.

    I tried this show out because I read about how different off the wall funny it is. I had just seen a movie with Jane Horrocks that i liked,{she plays Bubble in the show on occasion}I was hoping to like it. I found myself being disappointed. I did not find this show very humorous at all. I felt the show was rather vulgar. Some may find the type of humor in this show funny I did not.the two main characters are partners in a fashion business. Most of the show is centered around that.the only character who is at all down to earth is the college age daughter. some of the others are just annoying.

    Isn't this the horrific sitcom with the tagline, "Sin is in." Yuck. I'm going back to watch funny sitcoms like Beverly Hillbillies and I Love Lucy. Forget this trash NOW!

    Rave, Rave Rave! Thanks for coming back!! God I love this show. I have watched all the old ones over and over again during Comedy Central marathons and was overjoyed when I heard the news that it was comin' back again! I love it that there "are no redeeming qualities" and that Sin is IN! I have never laffed harder in my life. It's one quick cut after another. Viva AbFab forever.
