I remember falling in love with Designing Women back in 1999 (in my 8th grade years in middle school) I recorded every single episode from pilot episode to series finale off Lifetime on vhs and took the commercials off of them and burned all of the episodes onto the DVD+RW's. Wasn't a Designing Women can when it first came on network tv but those reruns got me loving them along with Golden Girls.

Delta Burke is so pretty. Plain and simple.

i love this one .this is the one i remember .love all of them .when Delta Burke and Jean Smart Quit..it was Not the same ..Shows now day are not the some ..I got Hulu Just so i could watch it .i lost 3 of my grown children i was in depression😢😢 and Grief the i got cancer had to have surgery. then i had to put my cat down he got cancer. then my mom passed. so life sucks..Watching this show help me get by .life it a sad place...

R.I.P. Meshach Taylor (1947 - 2014). R.I.P. Dixie Carter (1939 - 2010). R.I.P. Alice Ghostley (1924 - 2007). R.I.P. Jan Hook (1957 - 2014).

R.I.P. Alice Ghostley, Dixie Carter, and Meshach Taylor.

Late 80s early 90s...truly a magical time as a kid

I would watch this and Golden Girls with my mother when I was young.

The theme song is called "Georgia on My Mind," the official song for the state of Georgia. For the first five seasons it was performed as an instrumental; with Doc Severinsen lending his talent to the song's arrangement used for the 1986-88 episodes. A re-arranged version was used for the 1988-91 episodes (this version here); and, in a rare move, Ray Charles himself sang his famous rendition of the song for season 6 (1991-92) only. For the final season (1992-93) the opening theme was dropped almost altogether (instead we're only treated to a few bars of the song before it fades out and we then see the names of the cast over the segment footage).

"Designing Women" was one of the best sitcoms on TV! It's in the same circle as "Cheers", "The Golden Girls", "That '70s Show", and "Frasier."

Designing Women yes one of my Favorites. I'm inspired by the Late Dixie Carter's speeches on various subjects. I feel empowered w/ looking @ the ladies individual strengths. GREAT SHOW!!!

Love this theme

I always liked this intro

I miss this show use to love the opening theme song thanks for sharing 💞

Anybody remember when this used to come on Lifetime at like 7am? It was DW then the Golden Girls and that when I knew I had to leave for school 😂

I've known this theme song since I was 5, as while I never saw the show back then, at my babysitter's place in 1991-92(who had cable when my then single mom-led family didn't), us kids sit through the end credits of this series if the babysitter tuned in to Lifetime early enough while we waited for 'SUPERMARKET SWEEP!' to start and eat Plush Pippin treats from the grocery during it all. 😊 I do really want to see that exterior shot house in Little Rock though...

I wish Hulu used this longer version of the opening credits instead of the truncated version that they use for the first five seasons. (I also wish Hulu didn’t use the shortened-for-syndication episodes that omit key scenes, but that’s a complaint for another day.) Thanks for posting this!

Beginning in Season 3 (1988-1989), and ran until Season 5 (1990-1991), the opening credits featured sepia-toned images of the show's characters, with their names appearing onscreen.👍

One of my favorite shows besides the Golden Girls! I wonder why they don't play it on TV anymore...When TV was great and not this reality show garbage.

Growing up in the 80's I loved watching this with my older sister

💕💙🌹One of my favorites

I like this opening theme

Such a gaudy arrangement. It fit the show.

Am I the only one who always liked this better than The Golden Girls? I know they weren't as old as them but a lot of folks make comparisons

This version here from Seasons 3-5 (1988-91 episodes), the show's opening credits font/text was in ITC Tiffany.

i watched that show on Antenna TV

One other state I watch “Designing Women” on antenna TV is Arizona.

Who else remembers watching this with their grandmother?

Love this❤Great Memories ❤

Annie Potts is now on Young Sheldon

I remember watching a little bit of this series on lifetime and then tv land as a kid. From what I remember of it I mostly liked it for Meshach Taylor though. His, Tim Reid, Robert Gulliame and Ron Glass' roles as the sole black actors on big hit network shows with predominantly white casts and had wonderful parts that became popular and were nominated for emmys wasn't as common in those days and never bettered.

Memories,😭

How did Delta Burke receive top billing?

WWJSD “What would Julia Sugarbaker do?”

My mom loves this show

I miss seeing this long intro. All the ones in syndication are cut and sped up.

Hulu annoys me that they bought the syndicated versions so the cuts r wrong and the opening credits are too

The original intro from season 3

Would anyone happen to have the alternate syndication version of this opening theme? Delta Burke is pointing in this version.

Designing Women on TV Guide Network

My granny would watch this

I’m just glad Gerald still loves Delta’s huge rear end.

Finally got fed up and opened a acorns account 😩

This really the second or the third?

Sad to see Dixie and Meshach holding arms together....

I thought it was really unfair that flack Delta Burke got for her weight gain. Sure she put on a few pounds but it wasn’t like she was freaking Roseanne

I love the black hand that they make gay. Southern women alright funny stuff
