"Designing Women" Season Six DVD April 3rd

[JamesG]

The time has come for a little more comedy and interior decorating with Designing Women - The Complete Sixth Season!

Julia (Dixie Carter), Mary Jo (Annie Potts), Anthony (Meshach Taylor) and Bernice (Alice Ghostley) are back in the 1991-1992 season of the landmark CBS sitcom, but not everything is the same this season.

Delta Burke, who played the much beloved character Suzanne, is gone from the cast, only to be briefly mentioned a few times as having moved to Japan.

Also, Jean Smart's character Charlene makes a somewhat unceremonious departure as well, appearing only in the season premiere, in which she mentions that she will be taking a trip to England to meet the queen, never to reappear afterwards.




But both Suzanne and Charlene are replaced with very similar characters, with Suzanne being replaced with Julia and Suzanne's extremely obnoxious (by her own admission) cousin, Allison Sugarbaker (Julia Duffy).

Meanwhile, in the season premiere, Charlene's sister, Carlene (Jan Hooks) is introduced as she drops in to Atlanta fresh out of her divorce, and much like her similarly named sister, she is a bit naive--perhaps much more so than Charlene.

All of these changes set the stage for the sixth season of the iconic series, which essentially reinvents the series as we all knew it.
