The back-by-popular-demand new fifth series of Absolutely Fabulous, which is currently airing on the BBC, will not be shown here in on the cable channel Comedy Central as before — nor on BBC America.
No, the new series which you’ve been waiting for will air on… Oxygen.
Huh?
What?
What the hell is Oxygen? It’s Oprah’s network. It’s the estrogen-drenched competitor to Lifetime, except that Lifetime can actually be received by most households in America. People are suffocating from lack of Oxygen on cable and satellite carriers.
Plus, Oxygen doesn’t give an air date for the show. Looks like no one will be seeing AbFab. Better fire up that browser and order the DVDs…
