Yahoo! News - Hey Sweeties, Get Ready for the Return of 'AbFab'
Yes, sweetie darling, "Absolutely Fabulous" is set to return Jan. 2 on the Oxygen network with a fresh batch of misadventures featuring those wickedly funny fashion victims, Patsy and Edina, as embodied by actress Joanna Lumley and series creator/writer Jennifer Saunders.

It's been a decade since "AbFab" first made noise in this country (the series bowed in 1992 on the BBC and in 1994 on Comedy Central), but Saunders has not lost any of her touch for melding satire and social commentary with slapstick and gross-out humor. No one working in English-language television today offers a more unvarnished look at how women of privilege grapple with the aging process than Saunders.

Now THIS is news. Jennifer Saunders is a God.
