Designing Women S4 E4 Extra Sugar - Deliverance

Sweet Tea & TV ·

2023/02/09

Cue the banjos! It’s time to talk about one of Designing Women’s favorite references – or at least Suzanne’s – Deliverance! This movie turned 50 in 2022, but it still has a foothold in the pop culture zeitgeist. Join us as Salina breaks down the trivia, themes, and impact on the South. Scout’s honor: there will be no squealing like pigs.

Designing Women S4 E4 - We Need Some Kind of Vacation...

Sweet Tea & TV ·

2023/02/06

Haven’t these women learned their lesson yet? They canNOT - we repeat, CANNOT! - go on a trip with the menfolk. Even a short weekender. It NEVER works out well. Unfortunately, they decide to head up to North Georgia and take us on the painfest with them. Fortunately, we can distract ourselves discussing the various and sundry offensive ways they talk about the locals. (We’ll also do a “Nikki’s Nibbles” called “Wild Dinner”, in honor of the ladies’ dinners at the local bar.) Come back later this

Tiny sandwiches, tiny clothes, and, hopefully, a big ‘ole cake - all ingredients for a successful baby shower! Let’s discuss traditions, Southern and otherwise.

Designing Women S4 E3 - Miss Georgia for the Rest of...

Sweet Tea & TV ·

2023/01/30

When the Miss Georgia pageant moves their records over to computers, they discover a clerical error in the voting tally is putting Suzanne’s most cherished title in peril. First, computers? Nothing but trouble. Amiright? Secondly, how…is…Suzanne…going…to…take…this? Maybe not so well given Consuela and some voodoo curses come up, but that’s OK! It’s an excuse to “Salina’s Sidebar” about Marie Laveau, the Voodoo Queen of NOLA. OH! And Charlene's baby shower is happening! Come back later this week for

Designing Women S4 E2 - Extra Sugar: Dixie Carter

Sweet Tea & TV ·

2023/01/26

We’ve done segments about the lives and careers of LBT, Meschach Taylor, Delta Burke, and Jean Smart, but we owe you a Dixie Carter deep-dive. Today’s the day we pay up. We’re finally talking about Ms. Julia Sugarbaker herself, THE Dixie Carter.

Sweet Tea & TV ·

2023/01/23

This week, we get some big news that a dying man’s last wish is for a date with one of the Sugarbaker sisters. But, not the one you’d expect. Spoiler alert: she goes on the date and *gasp* ENJOYS IT! (Not sure we can say the same for us…) In the background, Suzanne’s raising money for charity and learning thar’s gold in them hills, when she realizes rich people can live in Arkansas, too, and Charlene knows them! Come back for “Extra Sugar” later this week when we finally talk all things Dixie

Designing Women S4 E1 - Anthony the Living Ken Doll

Sweet Tea & TV ·

2023/01/17

How ‘bout we kick off a new season with an obsession and a little deception? First, Suzanne makes an injured Anthony her own personal dress-up toy, then, Mary Jo leads a (mean!) former friend from her childhood through a web of lies, which include donning a client’s robe and probably breaking some trespassing laws. Salina will give us a sidebar on popular baby names and maybe there’s a Grits Blitz in the mix. We’re mixing things up this season and serving up a second helping of “Sweet Tea and TV” in

Special Episode: ST&TV Takes On Harry & Meghan, New...

Sweet Tea & TV ·

2022/12/22

Ack! A brand-new bonus episode! We really intended to take the rest of the year off and kick off 2023 with “Designing Women” season 4. BUT, then Netflix and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex so rudely (J/K!) dropped their new docuseries, Harry & Meghan. As dedicated Royal Watchers, we didn’t hesitate watching it. And then, we NEEDED to talk about it. So, here we are with an unexpected drop into your feed with our top six thoughts on the docuseries.

Designing Women S3 E24 - O Captain, My Captain (Ron)

Sweet Tea & TV ·

2022/12/12

Nikki found another crack in Salina’s movie-watching history: the one, the only, “Captain Ron.” The best part? You picked it! (ICYMI: it was an Instagram poll, so don’t forget to follow @sweetteaandtv OR become a Patreon for these special opportunities!) Did she love it, did she hate it? You gotta tune in to find out! OH! And hang around for "Extra Sugar: Nautical or Knot?", where that "son of a gun" Salina takes us on a nautical "filibuster." This segment is "chock-a-block" full of a

Designing Women S3 E23 - Finale Finale

Sweet Tea & TV ·

2022/11/21

Y’all. You know the drill by now – we have to give Designing Women season three the proper send off. Join us as we reflect on what happened both on the show and here on the Sweet Tea & TV podcast. We’ll sneak in a game because…why not? And, to show our appreciation for the ongoing support, this week’s “Extra Sugar” is exclusively available for our Patreons. We’re looking into new-this-season co-writer, Pam Norris, and getting a sense for what’s going on around the time of this season for the

Designing Women S3 E22 - Airbrushed and Spread-Eagle...

Sweet Tea & TV ·

2022/11/14

It’s an epic showdown in the season 3 finale of Designing Women between feminism and free speech. But, we mean, can’t we have both?? Not according to Julia… Naturally, we have to close out the regular season with an “Extra Sugar” about censorship (spoiler alert: we’re not into it).

Designing Women S3 E21 - Return of the Mac

Sweet Tea & TV ·

2022/11/07

Well, well, well. Reggie Mac Dawson – and the accountant who absconded with all Suzanne’s money – is back and stirring up trouble for the ladies. It’s a real circus (wink, wink). We had strong opinions on this one. Stick around for this week’s “Extra Sugar” where we explore crazy Southern laws and ordinances. (Psst, there may be a “Grits Blitz” afoot!)

Designing Women S3 E20 - We’re Mad As Hell and We’re...

Sweet Tea & TV ·

2022/10/31

First up: a trigger warning. This episode is about assault and, in turn, self-defense. If that’s triggering for you in any way, press “pause” and come back to us next week. We’ll be here for you. Mary Jo’s mugging sends all the ladies to a self defense class. They learn how to protect themselves and we learn, once again, that being a woman is…complicated. Then we’re going to lighten things up - topically anyway - with a “Southern Spotlight” on New Orleans cuisine thanks to several mentions during

Designing Women S3 E19 - The Real Women of Atlanta

Sweet Tea & TV ·

2022/10/24

What does riding a hobby horse, straddling a desk chair, and sucking on a string of pearls have in common? It’s all part of a good day’s work! Or at least it is according to the skeevy photographer who shows up to photograph the ladies for an article in a national magazine. Stick around for this week’s “Extra Sugar” about women in business where we’ll hear from a special guest AND highlight some businesses right here in Atlanta.

Sweet Tea & TV ·

2022/10/10

Charlene and Bill are getting married! Her first test: meeting her very fancy, very wealthy in-laws. Meanwhile, Mary Jo is over JD and onto a 20-something who throws keggers and…wears boxers on his head? Sure. We just have to dedicate a “Salina’s Sidebar” to old Southern money. But stick around for this week’s “Extra Sugar” – we’re talking Southern wedding traditions y’all!

Oh no! It’s trouble in paradise for Mary Jo and JD when he loses his job and goes from business trips to casseroles. Elsewhere, Suzanne and Anthony squabble over their health club – and we finally meet Tovah, Charlene’s psychic! Wait, wait…we see a “Salina’s Sidebar” about astrology and other mysticism in your future. And stick around for this week’s “Extra Sugar” – Shacking Up: A History.

Designing Women S3 E15 - The Women Who Mooned Atlanta

Sweet Tea & TV ·

2022/09/26

What happens when you take a frog-gigging flashlight, an assault rifle, a full moon, and mix ‘em with our Designing Women? Well, you gotta end up at the jail to find out. This week, we’ve got a full Saturday night of madcap mayhem with the ladies. Salina takes us on one of her sidebars: this time about car dates. Oh, and in Nikki’s, “Lunar Lunacy: The Myths, The Truths, and What To Do About It” “Extra Sugar”, she’s gonna tell us everything we need to know behind this myth (or is it a
