Designing Women S4E2 Re-Sugar: Dixie Carter

It’s time we revisit our “Extra Sugar” all about Dixie Carter!

By the time we’d done this, we’d done segments about the lives and careers of  LBT, Annie Potts, Meschach Taylor, Delta Burke, and Jean Smart, but we owed you – and ourselves – a Dixie Carter deep-dive. This episode is where we pay up. We’re finally talking about Ms. Julia Sugarbaker herself, THE Dixie Carter.

P.S. If we sound punch drunk, we kind of were thanks to copious amounts of sherbert punch leading up to the segment.
