I have seen many episodes of Designing Women, but have not see them in series order. It would be great to have the first season on DVD so that I can see how it all began. I really think that Anthony Bouvier (Meshach Taylor)is a great asset to the Sugarbaker family. I can’t say that I have a favorite episode, but the show is really funny and entertaining. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to win the complete first season on DVD.

My favorite memory of Designing Women is watching it in the back room of my grandparents’ house with my grandmother and my cousins.
It’s been so long since I’ve seen or even thought about Designing women- I’d love the season one DVD because I always enjoyed the show and I’d like to see it again!
Great ensemble cast. Everyone played off of each other flawlessly. My favorite character was Julia Sugarbaker. I loved how her character held her tongue as long as she could, and them she’d let them have it!
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Designing Women. About 8 years ago I used to watch an episode every morning before work. I think my favorite memory is when Suzanne lost her Miss Georgia crown due to a miscount, but regains it at the end. Loved that show!!
I seem to recall from the show all the dating and drama that used to go on. it’s been a while but would love to watch it all over again!

I’ve never seen the show. But enjoy watching “girl” cast shows.
It’s been awhile since I’ve watched Designing Women, but I always loved the humor of the show. I think some of the funniest episodes were watching Suzanne with that pig she had.
My favorite memory has got to be the episode where Suzanne meets up with her former fellow beauty contestants, and Julia delivers that awesome speech that ends with “And that was the night the lights went out in Georgia!”
Don’t really have a favorite episode– Loved Suzanne and Anthony together. They always made me laugh.
The one thing I hated about some later episodes is when the shows wanted to educate or preach about some issue—- seems like breast cancer was one of the things they got on their soapbox about— ugh. Drove me nuts. Comedy shows should entertain me …..not tell me what to do or how to think!
Haven’t seen the show but a couple friends were devoted fans. I’d love to have the series to watch.
I loved the way these women interacted. I loved the southern belle who were not only not weak and subservent but vital, strong and determined. Anthony always also added so much humor to the show.
It’s been so long since I’ve seen an episode, but I have seen them all! Can’t really say which is my favorite, I loved every one. Would love to have Season 1 to relive all the good memories.
I have not seen this TV series, but I’ve heard about the funny character interactions. It would be great to see the show in order starting with the first episode.
I seem to remember an episode where Julia Sugarbaker is an emcee or something like that for maybe a fashion show. In one scene she comes out of the ladies room with the hem of her skirt stuck into the top of her panty hose in back. Even though my memory is vauge…. I do remember it was hysterical. Thanks for the chance!
She’s going to exfoliate me!!!
I liked it when mary jo gave her Ex husband as a new gyn for suzanne and suz ended up dating mary’s ex – hillarious
Love those boisterous strong ladies. One partiucular episode is not memorable, but the ensemble is.
Awesome series
The episode that I remember most vividly was the one with the little asian girl that Suzanne had staying with her. A little mini Suzanne.
My favorite Designing Women memory is rushing home from school every day to watch it in syndication. I would love to re-experience the show as an adult! Thank you.
It’s been so long since I’ve watched this show. I don’t recall any specific episodes or anything but I’d really love to watch this show again. Thanks.
It’s been too long for me to recal any specific episodes, but I always loved watching the show and Annie Potts sarcastic remarks! the girls made me laugh and I’d love to have this dvd in my collection for days that I need a good laugh!
I have very fond memories of the show. My mom and I used to watch re-runs of Designing Women everyday at 3:30 and 4:00 after I got home from school. I fell in love with the show, and am sad that the re-runs are no longer aired. I am so excited that it’s coming out on DVD finally!! I hope I win!!
I’d love to own this dvd set. I remember watching this show during the day when I was sick and home from school. It always cheered me up.
this was one of my grandmother’s favorite shows, and now that she just retired, I know she’d love to have this to rewatch!
I remember when Charlene got married and had a baby. Charleen was one of my favorite characters.
i got designs on it for my mom.
I loved Designing Women…….they were such beautiful, strong women…….and self-reliant and capable and so very intelligent. It really was a break through show. Dixie Carter was my favorite character.
annie being annie
I love the episode when they were all in a charity talent show, I think they were doing a song by Diana Ross and the Supremes. Suzanne was late and misunderstood the costumes…she showed up in black face! I guess Suzanne’s antics made me laugh the hardest.
Thank you. :-)
I started watching Designing Women on TV Land actually. I watched it every time it came on. Unfortunately, they don’t even air it anymore.
Hope I win!
I loved this show. Delta is the greatest.
I have loved Designing Women since I was a little girl. I watched it ever week with my Grandmother. She would fix us a snack…ice cream, cookies, etc. to snack on while watching the show. I would love an opportunity to have this as my Grandmother is still living & know it would mean so much to her to to relive these memories. Thank you for the opportunity to stroll down memory lane!
i really do not think there were any bad episodes- each one was funny- suzannes pig and they confronted alot of issues such as spousal abuse and with that one the skin darkener for singing as the diana ross and her backups
i remember watching it with my parents
I remember watching it with my mom. My favorite moments was when Julia tells off that guy named Ray Don, and when MaryJo gets the fake boobs. That show is hilarious, love all the characters!!
The best episode ever was “they shoot fat women dont they” when Suzanne went back to her pageant reunion?..and they were talking about how heavy she had gotten..and she gave the best speech ever!
Suzanne and her pig… hilarious!
I love that show.
an all time favorite!
I loved the one where they went camping and the one guy starts singing, “and when she lets her hair hang down” hilarious. Have been looking for the first season for my Mom.
Delta Burke cracked me up. I can’t remember any episodes because it has been too long, but it was always fun to watch.
I’ve got designs for designing women cause I hardly ever saw it and love to watch old shows on TV. Does that make sense. No, ok, I just want to win it .:-)
I have not seen this TV series, so it would be good to start viewing it from the beginning.
I would like to see this show again
I watched and loved this show when it was first aired. Anthony was hilarious and the women has a wonderful rapport. It would be great to be introduced to the gang again!
I would love to win it because my wife loved the show! I enjoyed it too, but I think she saw almost every episode, so she would be thrilled! Thanks for having the giveaway!
It’s been so long since I’ve seen the show that I can’t really recall a favorite moment. I would like to watch again, though. It’s an entertaining show. Thanks!
My Favourite episode is when Bernice has a sanity hearing and how it all comes into place for her including getting an understanding judge!
It’s my childhood’s best remembered show and it reminds me of a couple of women that worked together and that nannied me a little bit.
Thank you!
(I CORRECTED MY E-MAIL AS SEEN ABOVE)
I loved this show, mis it graetly
When Suzanne lost her crown, then got it back.
I liked Dixie Carter’s role in how she was always the rock of reason.
What I loved and remember the most of this show is how strong the women were. It was and still is rare to see a show centered around strong females.
I love the one where delta shoots the guy and he has to stay with her. Of course Delta’s pig was funny too
I would love to own the first series set of Designing Women. I am a movie/tv-aholic. I have not seen an entire season of this show but have seen assorted shows over different seasons. It is a true classic. I too am from the SOUTH and can truly laugh at the antics of the ladies on Designing Women. Thanks.
I liked the show where the two “dummies” memorized answers to a quiz show and wowed the two “smart ones”
I have only seen a couple episodes and LOVED it!! Thanks for the chance.
I grew up watching Designing Women. The Sugarbaker sisters were my favorites. Dixie Carter looked just like my best friend’s mom, so I really identified with her character. I would love to watch it again. It would take me back to my childhood.
Its been a long time since id seen it and i would like to see the whole season
I remember the episode when Suzanne & Anthony had to share a hotel room. I haven’t seen one in years & would love to have season one to watch.
My favorite memory of Designing Women can be described with two words…Delta Burke!
PLEASE!
I never got to watch it when it was on (working) but love the cast! Would really like to see the beginning season.
I don’t have a favorite memory of the show. I loved everyone involved in the show. What a great ensemble cast.
I really loved this TV show!!! Hoping I win!!!
I used to watch this with my granny -it was her favorite show!
Many episodes of the show are in my favorite list, but one of the best – the ladies are discussing bras, particularly training bras, and Delta Burke’s character, Suzanne, says something to the effect of “You people consider full figured women dumb, and you had to train yours”
I liked when Suzanne bought a pig…so funny
I like Delta Burke and Dixie Carter! They were so funny and you don’t see them any more!
I remember being sad when it ended
One of my favorite memories of Designing Women is one episode when Dixie Carter’s real life daughters appeared as Julia & Suzanne’s nieces. They turned out to be younger versions of each of them – it was so funny :)
I never got to watch “Designing Women” until I was pregnant with my second child in 1993. In my sixth month, I was fired from my job at a miserable small daily newspaper with the worst managing editor known to man and was resigned to watching reruns in the daytime.
I was hooked. It also didn’t hurt that I was raised by a southern Mama in the upper south. Suzanne was my girl, but it was just a few days before I gave birth to Danny that Charlene “gave birth” herself, and the timing was perfect. I’ve been waiting for this now for a long time.
I hope I win!

I have so many favorite ones, it is so hard to choose but the first one that comes to mind is the Rowdy girls episode,when one of Charlenes friends is an abused wife, next is big hass and little falsy, Suzannes class reunion, Charlenes wedding, when the couples would go on trips- too many. That show has some of the best one liners. Even my father enjoyed watching the show. When my son was young he called it the The Sugarbakers.
The “They Shoot Fat Women..” episode was the greatest. Thanks!
Julia taught me how to fight, and Suzanne taught me how to look fabulous doing it! “Eat Dirt!”
One of my friends is crazy for Designing Women and I’d love to be able to gift this to him!
I still chuckle to myself thinking about seeing myself on every channel on the tv after it had been struck by lightening. LOL maybe wallpaper the den with tin foil….. Wonderful series absolutely loved it. Watch reruns on tv whenever they are on.
My favorite episode is the one where Suzanne went to her reunion. I loved the poignant way they entertwined the story of fasting to raise money and the way the little boy told Suzanne she was beautiful. The speech she gave at the reunion for most changed person still brings tears to my eyes. I would love to win this as the show always brings laughter and has so many epsisodes where they address problems of the world but do it in a gentle not preachy way.
My favorite memory of this show is watching it with my mom many years ago. If I won, I would give this prize to my mom. She collects dvd sets.
My favorite memory of Designing Women is watching it with my sister.
My favorite memory of Designing Women is how Julia was always such a strong woman, willing to defend her sister and her friends.
love this for a gift !!!!!!!!
I don’t seem to remember any specific episodes, but I remember that the ladies were tough and funny and it was a classy humorous show. I think my granddaughters would love watching it with me.
My favorite episode is when the hurricane comes and Julia, Berniece, and the crazy guy (who likes dancing around in his underwear) are stuck in the house. Too funny! Would love to win this DVD set.
I was a fan of Annie Potts and watched the show for her. Please accept my entry. Thank you.
Bernice belting “BLack MAN!!!!!”.
Julia telling the story of how Suzanne caused the real “Nights the Lights Went Out in Georgia”!
I used to love this show.
I’d love the season one DVD because I always enjoyed the show and I’d like to see it again
My favorite “Designing Women” moment would definitely have to be Julia’s epic moment putting the Miss Georgia contestant in her place by recounting Suzanne’s triumphant fire baton routine and victory in the pageant — it was so over-the-top and melodramatic, but I loved every second of it!
I watched the series in it’s original run,I want to win to see if it stands the test of time.
One of my favorite episodes was Design House. I also loved Reservations for 8 and Reservations for 12 plus Ursala. I remember watching this show as a teen and wanting to be a decorator too. And Live their fun Southern belle lifestyle.
I haven’t seen this show in years and would love to watch it again. I can hardly remember the first season, so that would be extra fun to watch.
feisty but always a lady especially Julia and the pig Suzanne had was just so funny poor Anthony the things he had to do
I recall watching this often and liking it very much. It has been so long ago that I don’t remember specific episodes. Just know that it was hilarious
It’s been a while since I watched this show but I liked the interaction with the characters, especially Delta Burkes character.
I can’t remember the episodes individually but I do remember that the cast was brilliant together, what with the southern politeness vs the snarkiness…it was an excellent show and I’d love to relive it.
My favorite episodes are the Dash Goff, the writer & They shoot fat women don’t they. I loved the show! It was a funny show that showcased strong women.
This was a great show. I would love to win it. Thanks
my favorite memory of Desiging Women is when Suzanne had that pig and she used to make Anthony take it and get it a buster bar. I loved Berniece also. She was so funny!
My favorite memory is watching Designing Women with my mother and all the talks and laughs we had.
I used to watch this show with my mom. The best actress on the show was Delta Burke, the show wasn’t the same when she was replaced.
I found this show to be the one I could watch with my teenage daughters and laugh out loud and even tear up with! I do love Dixie Carter and her character! Thanks for the memories!
We do not have cable and therefore don’t see many shows. Would like to try it.
I used to watch this show all the time and Suzanne Sugarbaker was so funny to watch in this series!
Oh I absolutely loved Designing Women! I think my favorite memory of the show was when Charlene had her baby. I think she had a rough time of it and dreamed that Dolly Parton was here guardian angel (if I remember correctly). She met this very smart older lady at the hospital who’d lived quite a remarkable life. They talked about a lot of the things that had happened in her lifetime. She was very old and all of her family had died. That night she passed away as Charlene’s baby was born and it showed Dolly escorting her off to heaven. Like I said, I LOVED that show. Thanks!
I’ve got designs on it because I never saw it and would like to
I have got designs on it because when I was young I watched it all the time&would love the dvd thanks!
I personally have never seen the show, but my sister was a big fan when it was on. It would be great to surprise her with this DVD set. Thank you for the chance to win.
It has been ages since I saw this show. I remember it being truly funny, but I need to refresh my memory.
Thanks for the GREAT giveaway
please count me in :)i have not seen this show in years and i used to watch it all the time i always thought suzanne was hilarious :)
Great Prize..
thanks for the giveaway!!!
One of the best shows on tv
especially the way they tackled the supreme court justice episode
I don’t remember any of the characters that well
I used to watch this show all the time. The first clip that came to mind was Charlene, practicing to meet the Queen and she was planning to say, “My heart is full.” Then I thought of the time the women helped Charlene’s friend escape from an abusive husband to the tune of the Supremes. Then I recalled the time the women went to a retreat and Anthony ended up there dressed as a woman and when the leader asked who “she” talked to about registration he said, in falsetto of course, “Some white chick.” Funny, funny stuff! It would be good to see it again.
This was one of my favorite shows of the ’80’s! I still remember the controversial AIDS episode.
I loved this show when I was younger, it was funny and I’d love to have the set to see the episodes again.
i love Delta Burke on Designing women. I wonder what happened to her. She is such a great actress.
