From Amazon.com
For a while, Designing Women captured some of the spirit of Hollywood's silkiest and smartest, Golden Age sophistication. Debuting in the fall of 1986, this half-hour sitcom--about four Atlanta belles who either owned or worked for an upscale interior design firm--seamlessly blended an understated glamour with razor-sharp dialogue, polished Southern grace, and a ripened female perspective--a sort of perfumed but unequivocal feminism for college-educated women over 30. The core cast of stage and film veterans--Delta Burke, Dixie Carter, Annie Potts, and Jean Smart--was unusually strong, and their characters' problems and conflicts were unique to adulthood rather than the protracted adolescence common among today's comedies. The five episodes on this disc represent some of the show's strongest material, including season two's "Killing All the Right People," which--for its time--was bold in introducing a character dying of AIDS complications. Also quite witty is "Reservations for Eight," in which the Georgia quartet and their lovers bicker over gender stereotypes. --Tom Keogh

Most helpful customer reviews   I WANT THE ENTIRE SERIES, April 8 2004 By  sweetnprettyntx@aol.com (Dallas, Tx) - See all my reviews I love Designing women and I want them to put the whole series on DVD! I will buy them all! I would love The Nanny series as well .... They both make me laugh Was this review helpful to you? (Report this)   Four Southern Belles Sitting on a Veranda, Jul 23 2003 By  Justin Norton (Newport, TN United States) - See all my reviews    From 1986 to 1993, Desiging Women aired weekly and caught the attention of millions of viewers. Now the series can be seen on Lifetime. But what better than to own a piece of one of televisions' funniest comedies!?! The original cast of Designing Women were one of televisions best combinations of their time. To be the first release for Designing Women...This one has to be a smart one. It is a very clever way to show everyone who wants a little taste of the series just what Designing Women is all about without paying the big bucks for a complete season. This Show, by far, has touched on many topics that have shown a different look at the silly and the sad times of our lives. From Mary Jo's desire to get bigger breasts...to dealing a friend who is H.I.V. positive...to dealing with the coping of weigh gain, the girls of Sugar Bakers' have been through it all. Although "all" of my favorites aren't included on this DVD (simply because it would be hard to put a low enough price on a "top 25" dvd) this DVD is one that fans of Desiging Women will cherish. I recommend to anyone who is just wanting a good laugh and to set back and see just how funny life can be...GET THIS DVD!!! Was this review helpful to you?

Thornhill (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews The episodes featured on this disk are among the best ever broadcast of this intelligent and witty series. Despite occasional lapses into squirm-inducing preachiness or treacly sentimentality (particularly in its portrayal of Jean Smart's character), it remains an important show from the eighties. All of the original actresses (including Alice Ghostley) and actor Meshach Taylor were wonderful. Unfortunately, the talents of Jan Hooks, Julia Duffy and Judith Ivey were sadly wasted, given the fact that they gave memorable performances in Saturday Night Live, Newhart and the film Compromising Positions, respectively. Why is it that many less diverting and intellectually satisfying series which ran as long have been brought out in boxed sets, and yet those of us who love Julia, Suzanne, Mary Jo, Charlene and Anthony have to make do with a "Best of" disk? Perhaps it's the so-called "liberal" (I prefer humanist) bent of the series' creator, Linda Bloodworth-Thomason, or her association with the Clintons might have an impact on sales. Could it be the show's literate style, which is several cuts above the lion's share of its contemporaries? It can't be the fact that the main leads are female (The Golden Girls, Murphy Brown and their predecessor The Mary Tyler Moore Show are all being brought out in complete series)... Maybe it's the lack of car crashes and gun-related violence. Who can say? Well I say, damn the right-wing backlash, anti-intellectualism, misogyny, NASCAR or the NRA! There are enough of us out there who can handle a little message with our comedy. Whatever the reason, I urge Columbia TriStar to get on with it, bring out Designing Women in boxed sets and realize a tidy profit. Was this review helpful to you?
