Now I need to figure out who gets to be French & Saunders.
(I need to bump that on the Megalo-Flix queue. It might actually save my life at this point.)

[runs off to look that one up] This is way too much niceness for one thread. Maybe by the time I get back, three or four of Abin's alts will picking fights with one another.

That's actually the only show I know Dawn French from. PBS airs Britcoms on Saturday nights and they ran Vicar for several months.
Was it a good show? No, no, no, no, no--yes.

The word Vicar always makes me think of "The Dirty Vicar Sketch" from Monty Python.

My alts never (okay, almost never) fight with each other.
So if you let me know which one you'd like to fight with I'll see if I can make that happen...

Yes, I have seen Ab Fab, Arachne, but it was years ago. Was Dawn French in it?

I am 99% positive that Ms. French was not in Absolutely Fabulous, at least not as a regular reoccurring character.
Post after this post if you think there should be an American version of Absolutely Fabulous, made with the same quality as the American versions of Coupling, Fawlty Towers, and The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin

Since I never watch any of those American remakes, I really don't care one way or the other.

Well, I loved All in the Family, Stanford & Son, and Three's Company, which were all American versions of British shows.
I'd like to see Beanes of Boston, the unsold Americanized pilot of Are You Being Served?

I'd forgotten those 3 were remakes (and didn't know AITF was).
Are You Being Served? was not, in my opinion, a particularly good series, and might actually be beyond ruining by Americanization.
