Yeah, it might suck, and yeah, she might be an odd choice for Edina, but.... it's AbFab. I'm going to try to love it and hope the magic repeats itself.

Or else I'll just have a bit of Bolly to ease the pain.

You know who should play Edina and Patsy?

Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley.

Only. Ever. I love Marshall Herskowitz for Arrested Development, but this seems like a failboat of sad for AbFab devotees.

Because of course the only way a show with two female comedy leads can ever be a hit is to recycle an old idea.

No. NO, I say. For the love of all that is good and decent and witty, please stop the American remakes of British TV shows! The very last thing the airwaves need is yet another clever show that didn't insult the intelligence of its audience to be watered down, modified, sanitized, laugh-tracked, hacked, here-be-the-jokes and essentially stripped of every single quality that made it an astonishingly hilarious show in the first place. I'm looking at you, Coupling.

And while I'm at it, the American version of The Office? Sucky McSuckerton.

I need that this remake doesn't happen. Or at least that I never hear anything about it. Ever. Or I will cry.

I do not like this because Kristin Johnson is way to tall and modeleque to play Edina. She is also, of late, very very thing. Edina's issues with food and constantly feeling overweight, probably compared to Patsy, are a big part of the character. She was short and kind of plumpish, not 6'2 and built like a model. Fail.

AbFab WILL NOT translate across the pond. S&P will kill any change it has of being awesome. It's beautiful, it's classic, it's perfect. Leave it alone. Oh, and Joanna Lumley IS Patsy. Like Highlander, there can only be one, and she's it.

Yay Kristen Johnston, boo new AbFab.... But if it has to happen, I think I could see her more as Patsy than Edina...

How can Edina be played by someone so skinny? What will she do when Penny Casperworth shows up?

Why isn't she Patsy?

@BrutallyHonestBabes: I actually didn't even read that closely, because I pegged her for Patsy, in that she's a giant blond sarcastic lady, not a petite droll brunette.

Whenever either I or my bf is whining about something, the other one says, "squish squish, sweetie," and makes the pantomime tears falling a la Edina.
