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

The Best of Designing Women- I can still remember the day I saw it in the local Wal-Mart. I blinked and quickly grabbed it and read over the back- and then hightailed it to the checkout counter.

I loved Suzanne- who my dad has said that I am the most like (which i take as a compliment) and ... Read More

As most others have said, this is only a Designing Women appetizer; we are still waiting for the full meal, and the kitchen is taking its sweet time. But we've been here before (and sometimes get stranded in the middle, as with the Bob Newhart Show and Taxi), and there doesn't seem to be a lot that we the people can do. So, in this case, we at least have a chance to watch a few episodes, and, while there were many that could have made the cut, these will do just fine. While there is more bittersweet ... Read More

I love the show, however, only 4 stars for this DVD - not the best selection of episodes and the quality is so-so, not digitally re-mastered, for sure. Either way, I enjoyed this DVD and really hope the entire show comes out on DVD soon.
The Episodes: 1) Pilot 2) Killing all the right people 3) Reservations for eight 4) Big Haas and little falsie 5) They shoot fat people, don't they?

"The Best of Designing Women"
To Tide Us Over
Amos Lassen
So many of us want the wonderful TV sitcom to be released on DVD but there is no new news about a possible release anytime soon. We, for the time being, have to make do with this one disc compilation. It's better than nothing but to me it is like having just an appetizer and not a full meal. The four Atlanta women became our friends during the 80's and had some great adventures. "The Best of Designing Women" ... Read More
