Summary: It's about time...but where's the rest of the episodes!
Review: I marked on my calendar the date this DVD was being released so that I could go right out and buy it. In my opinion, there is no better television program then or now than Designing Women. I have seen every episode (with the original four women) many times over and never get tired of watching them. I only wish Lifetime TV aired it more often than they currently do. I hope they continue to keep it on their schedule.Better yet, I hope Sony Pictures will release all the episodes on DVD in the very near future. The five episodes on this DVD is a good start but, PLEASE Sony Pictures, if you're reading this, there are many diehard fans that would buy the entire series on DVD. (I am only talking about the episodes with the original four women.) If you've never seen Designing Women, buy this DVD and be ready to get addicted to this show. If you are like me and have seen every episode, you'll want to buy this DVD so that you can watch it whenever you want. I have been waiting for a long time for Designing Women to be released on DVD. All I can say is, it's about time!

Summary: Who Makes The Choices Of What Gets Released?
Review: I purchased this tape and found it cute, but I wonder why the owners with the rights to this series don't make all of the episodes available? They could even do themes for selling the tapes. My suggestion would be a vacation theme. Those particular episodes were some of the funniest shows of the series

Summary: Good and Bad
Review: I was so excitied when I finally got it, but the DVD quality is bad. It skips one episode, so instead of 5 I got 4. Other than that, I was laughing the whole way through.

Summary: One of the Best Comedy Ever
Review: The best of Designing Women on DVD was a terrific buy. This show is a clasic tv show that was truely hilarious then and even now. I can remember watching this show and loving it in the 80's when I was a little girl. This show like the Golden Girls deserves to be on DVD, not just as the best of but as a box set by season. Delta Burke made this show as well as Meshach Taylor. All the ladies were wonderful but they're characters are what I believe made the show so popular. What would it be without Dixie Carter's getting fired up on a subject as well, or Annie Potts drinking a few drinks and getting macho talking. Jean Smart and all her beau's that never seemed to work out except her husband Bill and all her crazy thoughts. These ladies worked and clicked well together. This is Classic TV at it's best and like I said it should be put on a boxset by season not just the best of designing women. All the episodes were the best. For example the episode where the whole gang goes on the beach weekend with the boys and Ursula is the baby sitter and in hiring her the girls become jealous while the guys druel. The episode where the girls go with the boys on the camping weekend and run into Daddy Jones and his boys and get in a fight. The episode where they have a tornado and Elmer a client of the sugarbakers comes in without his wife who is a crazy fanatic and Daddy Jones shows up to by a nice piece of furniture and meets Elmer. They go out to drink some moonshine during the tornado. Bernice gueststarred in that episode as well as crazy Vanessa, "a mind is a terrible thing to waste". The episode where Julia and Suzzanne's niece comes to town and she is a spoiled brat. The episode that Suzanne shoots Anthony. The episode of pornography and Julia runs her car into the billboard that is on the street 3 times because she despises what it stands for. The episode that the girls design the whitehouse or the governors mansion and Suzanne gets her head stuck in a banister rale that has been there for Decades and they have to saw her out of it and they piece it back together and it breaks lose later on in the show. The episode where Julia and Mary Jo take up jogging and Julia becomes a fanatic and makes a fool out of her self. The episode where Vanessa tries to transform her look and takes up an inventory counting job at Sugarbakers to get closer to Anthony. Meanwhile Anthony is with this stuck up lady who calls her BMW a beamer and Vanessa thinks a beamer is a zit. The episode where Anthony dresses up like Suzanne's maid Consuela and has to pass through INS and take a test dressed up like her so that she could stay in this country. Who could forget his hillarious laugh when he gets nervous. The episode where the design firm has that gel bed in the living room that was supposed to go to two sex crazed newly weds and they don't show up to get it and instead they don't so they end up donating it to the Salvation Army. The Salvation Army asks why the people didn't show up for the bed and Julia says that she doesn't know but that maybe they found a sandbox that they liked better. Mary Jo acts crazy and sits on the bed with Anthony and says that sitting on the bed is like sitting on a fake breast and that they should displace all the gel so when Anthony wakes up he would be on a great big mound. And there are tons more episodes that were outrageously funny. This is a must see and I give it 5 STARS.

Summary: Where's the full season???
Review: The show is a definite 5-star rating, however this DVD and the distributor gets a big fat ONE!
Why do such terrible shows as The Nanny, Too Close For Comfort, Soap, etc get full season releases yet this gem does not?
Unforgivable!

Summary: Great DVD! But, same tired trick!
Review: This DVD is great! But, in a few months the all too typical DVD first season will be out---see what happened with "Married with Children" they put out a few "best of" DVDs, and then after you bought those---boom they came out with the box sets. Like I said the show is great, but the DVD makers and studios tricks to take our money SUCK!
