Designing Women
Designed to keep you laughing!
Created by Linda Bloodworth-Thomason
On CBS
A warm, character-driven workplace sitcom built on the bonds between four distinct women navigating careers, relationships, and personal growth in 1980s Atlanta.
Julia Sugarbaker, Mary Jo Shively, Charlene Frazier-Stillfield and Suzanne Sugarbaker are associates at their design firm, Sugarbaker and Associates. Julia is the owner and is very outspoken and strong-willed. Mary Jo is a divorced single-parent whom is just as strong-willed as Julia, but isn't as self-confident. Charlene is the naive and trusting farm girl from Poplar Bluff, Missouri. Suzanne is the self-centered ex-beauty queen whom has a number of wealthy ex-husbands.
