It would be impossible to repaint a masterpiece. A remake of the original show would be like a fake Beatles group. They may know all the songs, but it just ain't quite the same performance.

I disagree that it was a 90's show i can watch it now and still be nearly dying with laughter! I loved the UK AB FAB and i am a long standing fan Jennifer Saunders and will follow what ever she does, i was a little anxious when they announced they were going to try a US version, to be honest the only reason why many would have watched because Jennifer Saunders was behind the production and writing! I am now glad that the UK version will be what i can remember from this wonderful show as it will never be beaten no matter how many times they try to remake it you cant beat the truley wonderful work on Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumely!

Ack! Agree that a remake would have been impossible. Totally disagree about it being a product of the '90's only because Saunders once said it had actually been conceived as a very 80's type show (over-the-top fashionistas, etc...) and she didn't understand why it had been so big in the nineties (and beyond). Besides which, the most recent past bling era (remember the one before the crash where eveyone was getting granite tops put in their kitchen and "madeover" on tv?) was even worse than the eighties (or nineties)!!!

Well that is Fox's loss, this show was hilarious.

Oh please! This wasn't first attempt and this won't be the last...so even thought I sorta bummed out it won't be made. It will get made at some point. Maybe not today, tommorrow...but it will....because you know there is a Producer thinking....I can do it! So there maybe a clooective sigh of relief...this is a business....Money Talks.

Hello,
I commented on the article titled....Us AbFab, written by Allison Waldman. I stand by every word in my rant, as what was written comes from my heart. However, I regret writing the little bit. It is very negative and degrading to those struggling to produce material in such a difficult, reality TV based media atmosphere. I am studying to be a journalist and would like to build a reputation of positive writing in a negative world. Please, if you would be so kind, remove my comments from your blog. If you don't, lesson learned. "SELF CONTROL IS TRUE POWER".

As a huge and longtime fan of anything written or starring Jennifer Saunders, especially UK AB FAB, I did not hold much faith in the American version of AB FAB. I was happy to hear that Jennifer Saunders was added as a producer on the show and I still intended to watch in support of her efforts. But frankly speaking, I can't think of anyone, of ANY nationality, especially American, who could step into the shoes vacated by Ms. Saunders and Ms. Lumley. I will catch flack for what I am about to write next but WHAT THE HELL! America is in a slow process of ridding itself of the George W. Bush (DO WHAT I SAY, NOT WHAT I DO) era. America's sense of humor is rather dull, careful not to offend, written and delivered by untalented people. Thank heavens, UK AB FAB will remain untainted by American hands!

OH THANK GAWD..

Mitch Hurwitz, Jennifer Saunders and Kristen Johnson. I just don't see how this could end up badly.

I'm sad but I hope it gives Mitch Hurwitz more time for the Arrested Development movie
