At least if he was going to date her be discreet like not having lunch with her in the school cafeteria in front of all the other kids or picking her up in the limousine at school.

I thought perhaps Dixie left DS when she got a role on the short-lived series Filthy Rich, with her future Designing Women co-star Delta Burke, but Dixie's imdb page states she joined DS after that show was cancelled, so not sure why she left or what happened.

Incidentally, Mary Ann Mobley would go on to star in a memorable episode of Designing Women as the pushy woman from the historical board who convinces Julia and the other ladies to dress up like extras from Gone with the Wind when the Sugarbaker house is selected on the Tour of Homes!

Okay, good reason.

Designing Women was a much better fit for Dixie Carter's acting style.

Ah, so I saw Mary Ann Mobley, because I caught that episode of Designing Women a while back.

Interesting trivia, thanks.

I had no idea "Crazy Like A Fox" even existed.

No, I worked nights through most of the 1980s and missed almost everything on television during those years.
