The '80s gave us many classic sitcoms, but the classy and sassy Designing Women was a credit to the genre. Writer/creator Linda Bloodworth-Thomason brought together four very specific actresses for the sole purpose of having them chat with each other -- tailoring storylines to drive home points about women's issues and to present a new image for Southerners on television. Each character carried a different "voice" which set the stage for many humorous debates, complimented by sharp dialogue and the charm and chemistry of the ensemble cast.

This is the fourth incarnation of this website -- now officially Designing Women Online. Since the site debuted in 1998 as a tribute to the series, features and layouts have evolved, relationships with the series cast and creators have blossomed, and an incredibly loyal fan base has shared what the show has meant to them over the years.

So if you haven't already, please sign The Designing Women Online Guestbook and enjoy this tribute to the classic -- and classy -- series.
