The Absolutle Best British Sitcom EVER! (sorry, I even liked it better than Monty Python)

I used to be obsessed with Absolutely Fabulous in the early 90's. Thank heaven for youtube so I can relive every episode!

Edina Monsoon and Patsy Stone are the Lucy and Ethel of British Television...I would describe their behavior as outrageously hilarious. They are two substance-abusing fashion and fad-obsessed Londoners who value fame and style over substance (unless they are controlled substances). Saffron, Edina's daughter, is the sanity in her mother's world. Edina and Saffy live in a house in Holland Park...Patsy is there most of the time and Patsy and Saffy can't stand each other.

The program revolves around Eddy's ongoing struggle to achieve fame, success and a slender figure amidst the disapproval of her daughter and the constant presence of her increasingly senile mother. Patsy is always at her side encouraging the behaviors that are constantly causing her conflict. Much of the comedy of the show is physical, usually derived from Edina and Patsy's drunken and/or stoned states, with their favorite drinks being Bolly Stolly (a cocktail of Bollinger champagne and Stolichnaya vodka) and later Veuve & Bourb (a mix of Veuve Clicquot champagne and bourbon) or Dom & Bom (a mix of Dom Perignon champagne and Bombay Sapphire gin). The mutual loathing between Saffy and Patsy, as each tries to guide Edina's behaviour, also makes for many comic situations. A recurring gag found new ways for Edina to fall headfirst out of cars, windows, or down her kitchen stairs at least once every series.
