Sacrilege

Posted by Colleen Kane

No no no no no no please God no.

Can you tell what remake of a TV classic that did Not need to be messed with this photo is from?

It's the Americanized Absolutely Fabulous, with Kristen Johnston and Kathryn Hahn.

If you find this more sacrilicious than sacrilegious, more photos can be seen on dlisted.

They were very good in Boeing Boeing recently, so the acting should be fine. It's the scripts I'd worry about.

It could have been worse. In the 90's Roseanne wanted to make an American AbFab.

I was literally thinking, "Looks like AbFab, but they couldn't. That's still on BBC and BBC America." This is a ridiculous shame. They'll ruin it!
