And then the music would stop and a clip from an old episode of Designing Women would play on the video monitors. It was the one where Julia Sugarbaker (Dixie Carter) is telling off a beauty pageant winner who has just insulted former Miss Georgia Suzanne Sugarbaker (Delta Burke). The clip showcases a hilarious, blistering monologue in which Carter recounts the story of a flaming baton thrown by Burke so high into the air that it hits a transformer, darkens the stadium, and creates a 16-1/2-minute ovation. It's a brutal scolding that ends with Carter barking the line "And THAT ... is the night the lights went out in Georgia!"

i watched this scene last night. we just got the dvd. it was right before i was going to bed -- i just stood there hunched over the tv stand cuz the volume was on so low. it was a perfect scene.

thanking u

I work nine blocks away from their house. I'll stop by and get a picture for you all sometime.

you really must

Last night, we watched an episode in which an old friend of Charlene's contacted the Sugarbakers for a decorating job. Well, when they went to see her house, it turns out it was a brothel, and Charlene's friend Monica was the madame. The episode ended in a conversation about how hookers make the world harder for other women, and Monica admitted that she'd been doing some thinking about changing her lifestyle. It was nice.

How funny, I saw that brothel episode.

I can't remember whether this show was good or not, I just used to like to watch all these giant women with their giant suits and dresses and giant beautiful hair.

I think you just hit the nail on the head regarding the show's appeal.

Although I might not really call Annie Potts giant ;-)

last night, we watched an episode and it really felt like i was tripping. sometimes i cannot get over that Delta Burke.

Dixie Carter has died at age 70
By Alec Harvey -- The Birmingham News

Dixie Carter starred as Julia Sugarbaker on TV's "Designing Women."Entertainment Tonight is reporting that actress Dixie Carter, best-known for her role as Julia Sugarbaker on TV's "Designing Women," has died at age 70.

"This has been a terrible blow to our family," ET quotes her husband, Hal Holbrook, as saying. "We would appreciate everyone understanding that this is a private family tragedy. Thank you."

The Tennessee-born Carter, in an interview with The Birmingham News prior to an appearance in 2008, said she was holding out hope for a "Designing Women" reunion at some point.

"People have talked, but it hasn't come to anything," Carter says. "We're all in touch with each other, and we love each other very much. We have such disparate careers. It would be so much fun to pull that together, but it would be very hard."

Just posting this again for posterity (and because the last one was pulled). "The night the lights went out in Georgia."
