Yes, Fox is planning to remake the British hit comedy “Absolutely Fabulous,” which will put Edina and Patsy in LA, along with Edina’s daughter Saffy.

If you’ve never seen the original, well you can usual find it on late at night on BBC America. The show is about two 40something women desperately trying to regain their lost youth while drinking heavily in every episode, which always gets them into trouble. Basically it’s “I Love Lucy” but without the husbands, a bit of filth and a heavy dose of Vitavegavitamin.

Christine Zander, a former SNL writer is penning it and Jennifer Saunders, one of the creators and the actress who played Edina is an executive producer. No word on who will play the title roles in the show.

Even with Saunders on board, I have to say this is probably one of the worst ideas to come a long in a long time.
