"So many thanks for all of your hard work on behalf of Designing Women. I was surprised, after all this time, there are people out there that are still such fans of DW. Really, we are most indebted to you and want you to know how very grateful we are to all of you for your enduring interest and appreciation." ~ Linda Bloodworth-Thomason 3/00

The eighties 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. This site includes a complete history and guide to all seven seasons of the series and its cast, plus an in-depth look at the spin-off Women of the House, where Delta Burke reprised her Suzanne Sugarbaker role. The new layout also catalogs this site's ten year journey, which includes archives of all Belled Online newsletters and fan-related material.
