In this episode, we introduce ourselves, why we love Designing Women, which woman we we most identify with and share our thoughts on the Pilot episode, appropriately titled “Designing Women.”
Our name comes from the title for Season 7, Episode 19 - “The Woman Who Came to Sugarbakers’.”
The avatars from our logos were made at Powerpuff Yourself. If you haven’t made yours yet, do it!
The GIF for this episode’s header came from LOGOTV. Their lineup includes Designing Women as well as other great shows such as The Golden Girls and The Facts of Life. Check them out all over the interwebs for your retro TV needs.
