Boy meets girl. Boy falls in love. Boy…secretly hides that love for a decade?

2022/09/12

This week, we meet the *perfect* man. He’s educated, polite, funny and…RICH! Sounds like a match made in heaven for Suzanne. There’s just one little catch…he’s blind and can’t see her for how beautiful she really is. Or can he??? Guess we’ll find out Speaking of how beautiful Suzanne is, let’s honor her hard work by talking all things spas in “Salina’s Sidebar.” Last, but never least, stick around for this week’s “Extra Sugar,” where Julia’s taking us to the mall (in our heads) with her Lenox Mall

The gals are worried when Charlene joins a cult, er, uh, we mean, starts selling cleaning products for Lady June Belle.

And whatever you do, don’t forget, “Don’t think of excuses to fail, think of reasons to succeed.” Stick around for this week’s “Extra Sugar,” where we discuss multi-level marketing.

Oh, boy - a nudist colony AND mini-me's for Suzanne and Julia ALL IN ONE EPISODE?!?! Can we even handle all the excitement? I think we can. Even if just to see how Julia and Suzanne react to their act-alike nieces (hey! Clayton’s back! Sorta.) AND what material is most comfortable on a couch…for bare bums. At some point, we’ll “Salina’s Sidebar” on what a nudist colony community is exactly. Definitely stick around for some literal “Extra Sugar” this week - “Nikki’s Nibbles” is bringing us Southern

Designing Women S3 E10 - The Million Dollar Cat Mansion

Sweet Tea & TV ·

2022/08/15

What do a tabby cat, a 1921 Alaska license plate, and a buncha fishing lure have in common? They’re all things Suzanne could love, once she learns their true price tag! This episode of “Designing Women” introduces us to Sugarbaker’s latest “off the beam” client, but is she really? She’s not telling, ‘cause she’s off to the “Great Pet Store in the Sky”, but maybe a newly-found, handwritten will can solve this mystery! And stick around for this week’s “Extra Sugar”, where we learn about the value of

We learn more about Anthony’s back story after he becomes a ‘Big Brother’ to Tyrone, a precocious teenager, with a penchant for finding trouble.

Designing Women S3 E8 - Get on the Bus, Gus

Sweet Tea & TV ·

2022/08/01

Our ladies are going on a wilderness retreat–courtesy of Bernice–whether they like it or not. They get split into separate groups, and let’s just say, the results are surprising. As we learned in season 2, Bernice is not to be underestimated. Stick around for this week’s "Extra Sugar", where we talk about National parks in the South, including Georgia.

Sweet Tea & TV ·

2022/07/25

In an unexpected twist, LBT “Schoolhouse Rocks” audiences in 1989 about fair labor practices. Meanwhile, in a tale as old as time, Mary Jo gets ripped off by a body shop. And poor Anthony misses the turn at “the Big Chicken” (if you know, you know). Stick around for this week’s "Extra Sugar" where we take a look at workers’ rights in the U.S. and the South. You know, keepin’ it light.

Designing Women S3 E6 - A Virtual Smorgasbord of Women

Sweet Tea & TV ·

2022/07/18

If you like a filler episode, you’ll love this one! It’s the “will they, won’t they” we never needed from Charlene and Bill after Charlene takes questionable love advice from Suzanne. Everyone else is singularly focused on the construction workers, or “hard hats”, that keep harassing everyone with terrible pickup lines. There’s also a daytime costume gala squeezed in there somewhere. Stick around for this week’s “Extra Sugar”, where we’re talking about the time-tested (and time-detested?) tradition

Sweet Tea & TV ·

2022/07/11

It’s been well established that Mary Jo is a card-carrying member of the itty, bitty, “you know what” committee, but an unexpected cash infusion could change all that. In the meantime, can the other gals and Anthony take it as her ego grows with every inch of her bustline? Stick around for this week’s “Extra Sugar” where we’re doing it - finally. Three seasons in and we’re FINALLY talking brassieres. AKA the over-the-shoulder-boulder-holder. AKA the bra. AKA that thing you sling in the corner

Designing Women S3 E4 - A Little Long on Drywall, And...

Sweet Tea & TV ·

2022/06/27

Cue the wedding bells: Bernice is getting married, and to a local “celebrity” no less. But our gals are preoccupied with other things: they all hate their “wedding costumes”, Suzanne is PMS-ing again, and Julia is stark-raving mad about another news article hatin’ on Southerners. Stick around for this week’s “Extra Sugar”, where we play a word association game about Southern traditions.

Designing Women S3 E3 - Are You Lonesome Tonight?

Sweet Tea & TV ·

2022/06/20

Roaaaaaaaaaaad trip! That’s right, the ladies leave Atlanta and head to Memphis overnight after Charlene wins VIP tickets to Graceland.

Designing Women S3 E2 - Sugarbaker v. Brickette

Sweet Tea & TV ·

2022/06/13

Julia running for office = an entire episode dedicated to a classic “Julia rant” – and we are here for it. Any guesses how much the political debate has changed since 1988? [side-eye emoji] Stick around for this week’s “Extra Sugar” where we take a closer look at homelessness in Atlanta, and what you can do to help here or in your neck of the woods.

Sweet Tea & TV ·

2022/06/06

Oh boy, we’re on the road again! This time, it’s the whole fam jam down at Reese’s condo at the beach. But will it be all out war again between the men and women? Not if Suzanne has anything to do with it. Oh, yeah, they’re in Florida, so we’re debating its Southerness and talking about beach memories in a Salina’s Sidebar. And stick around for an “Extra Sugar” dedicated to where we are in the show now: 1988.

S2 Special Episode - Salina Watches ”Howard the Duck”...

Sweet Tea & TV ·

2022/05/30

What will a 36-year old woman think about a 1986 science fiction comedy about a duck who comes to the Earth, unexpectedly becomes a hero (of sorts) and uncomfortably…flirts…with Lea Thompson? Then, because now we gotta know, what happened in the lead-up to this cult classic? Who gets the, er uh, credit – and how did it change movies forever? We discuss it all and more.

Sweet Tea & TV ·

2022/05/09

That’s right - 24 hours of recording later, and we STILL have more to say about season 2. So, whatcha say, finale-finale? We'll do a behind-the-numbers; revisit some of our favorite moments of the season; a revisit references we've dug into along the way. Stick around for “Extra Sugar”, where we learn about the woman, the myth, the legend: Linda Bloodworth-Thomason.

Designing Women S2 E22 - You’re So Good When You’re Bad

Sweet Tea & TV ·

2022/05/02

What do you get when you mix four men with four women and a whole lotta hot buttered rum? About 15 minutes of jabs, digs, and insults, followed by two solid minutes of awkward slow dancing. That’s right, y’all, season two wraps with a few reminders: men are from Mars, women are from Venus, and Anthony can’t ever be in the finale. Stay tuned for an “Extra Sugar” where we talk about some of our favorite things to do in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Designing Women S2 E21 - Phooey On You, Ted!

Sweet Tea & TV ·

2022/04/25

Ugh, Ted returns, and this time he’s got Mary Jo all confused with infuriating compliments about her old soul, young bum, and unrivaled Beef Wellington (and we’re pretty sure that last one isn’t a euphemism). Meanwhile, Quint is acting up again, and only Anthony can help…not Ted. Let that sink in. OH! And, Quint’s Garfield lunch box gives us the perfect excuse for this week’s “Extra Sugar” on 80s and 90s cartoons. Eeeeeeek!

Designing Women S2 E20 - A Smidgen of Religion

Sweet Tea & TV ·

2022/04/18

LBT took a big swing at sexism in the church with this one, and in an exciting turn, she uses Bernice to hit it out of the park. That’s right, one of our faves, is a biblical savant and low key feminist who destroys Charlene’s minister’s antiquated argument against women in ministry. Meanwhile, Julia sings “for all us girls, everywhere” – giving us 2016 Hillary vibes all. over. again. Stick around for this week’s “Extra Sugar” where we explore the genesis of this episode: women at the

Designing Women S2 E19 - No Pigs Allowed

Sweet Tea & TV ·

2022/04/11

What happens when you cross a pet pig, beauty titles, and a few pesky divorces with an exclusive, Old South country club? Well, you might not get invited to join. Poor Suzanne has her eyes set on an elite membership, but her big-mouthed sister (...and impending financial ruin…and a few other things…) may be standing in her way. But maybe that’s not such a bad thing? After the show, let’s have a little “Extra Sugar” - where we’ll spill the tea on country clubs. We’ll talk a bit about the history and
