No television character could ever deliver a verbal throw down like Julia Sugarbaker!

[GoddessNeith]

NO ONE rants better than Miss Julia Sugarbaker. she tells it like it is. we need more Julia's in our lives.

[cathyarthur]

I loved Mechach Taylor in anything he did. He was a natural actor, and I adored him.

[carolecarr]

This was Anthony's shining hour. He was so good.

[Ed-uzem]

Delta and Dixie had such chemistry like real sisters

[seanm]

Julia was great. But I loved when Suzanne really told it like it is because it was so rare and so precious

[dianabryan]

I was in awe of Anthony's character I just couldn't figure him out! I was not use to seeing a male character like him and I just thought his character arch was so well planned! He embodied so many things and his chemistry with all the ladies was just so perfect! All the characters were just so perfect but I just do not think meshach gets the credit he deserved for the character of Anthony!

[patriciabranson]

I am 58 years old and I still want to grow up to become Julia sugarbaker.

[silky]

They truly gave Dixie some Powerful lines and she delivered them amazingly! What a credit to her Profession!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[GoddessNeith]

her telling the doctor off resonated with me. I've never allowed ANY doctor (especially male) to tell me "let me worry about that" NO SIR, It's MY body and I'll do the worrying thank you very much. I've always thanked Julia in my heart and head for the nerve to to do that.

God damnit I loved Delta Burke… piercing blue eyes and dark hair

[bbeyez]

I love Julia and when she gets fired up

[keyshahodnett]

Everyone laughs at me when I say that designing women is 1 of my all time favorite shows . But this clip just confirms that I am right. Nice job well put together. U could have done a whole nother 30 minutes of it.

[gabelogan]

The fact that Dixie Carter was a conservative Republican and yet could deliver these progressives soliloquies with such passion shows how good an actress she was.

[Empohi]

I have always loved this show. Used to watch it religiously when it was actually on. I think part of the appeal for me were the actual relationships within the show itself. gerald and delta, hal and dixie. beautiful stuff.

[ninademci]

In the “Women of Atlanta” episode, the late Wendy Jo Sperber, who played ‘Estelle’, also played ‘Amy Cassidy’ (I had to look up her character’s name, but not the TV series’s name.) in “Bosom Buddies” with Tom Hanks and Peter Scolari.

[lkd-iuqk]

I wanted to be Julia Sugarbaker when I grew up!

[kitkeller]

I’ve always loved the line, “If I were you and in many ways, I am.”

[lindabishop]

I was always sitting on the couch when this show came on and never missed an episode. In Texas, I was and still am a Blue Dot 💙 in a red Sea. I worked with the public for 11 hrs a day. I was a single Mother and every dollar was earned by me. Only made $4 an hour. I had to endure right-wing, Christian fascists every day. And keep my opinion to myself . Designing Women helped to keep me going those years. Those folks had no idea that when they were saying their garbage beliefs that I have a Julia Sugarbaker inside, and she was having her say. I'm retired now, and I no longer take s#!t off anyone, and I don't take still am a Blue Dot 💙 in a Red Sea...and I am a survivor.

[flenif]

Sad that these issues still exist. In many cases they are worse!
