Here's the rest of the Countdown and the conclusion .
6 . Absolutely Fabulous - BBC1, BBC2- 1992-2005 - This show is By Far the most famous and controversial show BBC has ever Produced . First Premiered on BBC1 in November of 1992 , It is known for being out there , funny , and over the top . Many PBS stations , when it came over here , refused to run it due to how inapporiate its sometimes was . Eventually Comedy Central picked it up .. But .. They only ran certain episodes but out of order . When I was England I watched it at 11pm on BBC3 and it was great they had it on like every night . It's kinda like their Sex and the City in a way . But anyway , it ran for so long there because it was so popular . It produced 40 Episodes , Some Specials , and whole lot more . Fans even nicknamed it AB Fab . What a cool Nickname! I feel that this show is by far their best comedy . Maybe better than the UK Office . I know I know.. If A British Citizen saw this theyd go nuts! .. They worship the Office .. but this show is still great too . It revovles around Edna and Patsy , two best friends who always get into trouble . Whether it be alchol or Drugs , you can smell trouble a mile away with these two!!!
Jennifer Saunders made this show what it is , and its great . It's weird how it went on from 92 then back to 94 , and ran from 95-96 , and came back out of nowhere in 2001. After a 5 year absence?? It was almost like how Family Guy came back on the way they did overseas. It's weird . Even in America too , In 2005 , Oxygen , owned by Oprah , picked up the show for one season . Really random right ?? They recently came out with an Absoultely Everything - Complete Series Gift Set and If you don't have the DVD's , which i don't its worth it . You can find it online for about 100 Dollars . Which isn't bad your're getting 5 Seasons and 3 specials so I think it's worth it .
In Conclusion , In the 90's before the whole Office and Coupling Craze This was the BBC show to Watch . This show made BBC comedy popular again , this show made BBC a big International Hit again in my opinion . They even have People who act out the characters of Edna and Patsy on the Streets of London still! 16 Years Later , this show is still being played . That says something!
