039. “Designing Women” ft. Jean Smart and Beah Richards
Orlando Actors David Almeida & Matthew Arter are watching TV shows, specials, and movies that feature members of “The Facts Of Life” cast… so you don’t have to!
From February 2023: Get out your fabric swatches, feed your pet pig, and whatever you do, DON’T get Julia riled up! David and Matthew talk about a “very special” 2-part episode of Designing Women! In Season 4, Episodes 13/14, “The First Day Of The Last Decade Of The Entire Twentieth Century,” Charlene (Jean Smart) goes into labor on New Year’s Eve 1990. Hilarity ensues in the form of a snow storm, a radio contest, and a blind date gone wrong. But thankfully Dolly Parton shows up as (you guessed it) an angel, and Beah Richards (a/k/a Tootie’s future grandmother-in-law in TFOL S9 E20 “Present Imperfect”) plays an elderly sage whose wisdom tugs on every heart string in all of Atlanta. (And of course, who can forget Jean Smart’s guest appearance in TFOL S5 E14 “Next Door” as a frantic single mom? We certainly didn’t. Though you may notice we make no mention of it whatsoever on the show… um… so, yeah. ) (Available on Hulu)
