January 30, 2023 Designing Women S4 E3 - Miss Georgia for the Rest of My Life
When the Miss Georgia pageant moves their records over to computers, they discover a clerical error in the voting tally is putting Suzanne’s most cherished title in peril. First, computers? Nothing but trouble. Amiright? Secondly, how…is…Suzanne…going…to…take…this? Maybe not so well given Consuela and some voodoo curses come up, but that’s OK! It’s an excuse to “Salina’s Sidebar” about Marie Laveau, the Voodoo Queen of NOLA. OH! And Charlene's baby shower is happening! Come back later this week for an "Extra Sugar" all about baby showers!

January 26, 2023 Designing Women S4 E2 - Extra Sugar: Dixie Carter
We’ve done segments about the lives and careers of LBT, Meschach Taylor, Delta Burke, and Jean Smart, but we owe you a Dixie Carter deep-dive. Today’s the day we pay up. We’re finally talking about Ms. Julia Sugarbaker herself, THE Dixie Carter.

January 23, 2023 Designing Women S4 E2 - Julia’s Date with a High School Stalker
This week, we get some big news that a dying man’s last wish is for a date with one of the Sugarbaker sisters. But, not the one you’d expect. Spoiler alert: she goes on the date and *gasp* ENJOYS IT! (Not sure we can say the same for us…)
In the background, Suzanne’s raising money for charity and learning thar’s gold in them hills, when she realizes rich people can live in Arkansas, too, and Charlene knows them!
Come back for “Extra Sugar” later this week when we finally talk all things Dixie Carter.

January 19, 2023 Designing Women S4 E1 - Extra Sugar - 1989
Like we mentioned Monday, we’re doing things a little differently this year and pulling “Extra Sugar” out into its special episode drop on Thursdays. First up - a deep-dive into 1989.

January 17, 2023 Designing Women S4 E1 - Anthony the Living Ken Doll
How ‘bout we kick off a new season with an obsession and a little deception? First, Suzanne makes an injured Anthony her own personal dress-up toy, then, Mary Jo leads a (mean!) former friend from her childhood through a web of lies, which include donning a client’s robe and probably breaking some trespassing laws. Salina will give us a sidebar on popular baby names and maybe there’s a Grits Blitz in the mix.
We’re mixing things up this season and serving up a second helping of “Sweet Tea and TV” in the form of “Extra Sugars” on Thursdays as their own episode. So, come back this Thursday. We’re in the last year of the ‘80s, baby - let’s talk all things 1989.

December 22, 2022 Special Episode: ST&TV Takes On Harry & Meghan, New Netflix Docuseries
Ack! A brand-new bonus episode! We really intended to take the rest of the year off and kick off 2023 with “Designing Women” season 4. BUT, then Netflix and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex so rudely (J/K!) dropped their new docuseries, Harry & Meghan. As dedicated Royal Watchers, we didn’t hesitate watching it. And then, we NEEDED to talk about it. So, here we are with an unexpected drop into your feed with our top six thoughts on the docuseries.

December 12, 2022 Designing Women S3 E24 - O Captain, My Captain (Ron)
Nikki found another crack in Salina’s movie-watching history: the one, the only, “Captain Ron.” The best part? You picked it! (ICYMI: it was an Instagram poll, so don’t forget to follow @sweetteaandtv OR become a Patreon for these special opportunities!)

Did she love it, did she hate it? You gotta tune in to find out!

OH! And hang around for "Extra Sugar: Nautical or Knot?", where that "son of a gun" Salina takes us on a nautical "filibuster." This segment is "chock-a-block" full of a "Grits Blitz" challenge that had Nikki wondering if some of Salina's Nespresso advent calendar was "in the offing" for her.

November 21, 2022 Designing Women S3 E23 - Finale Finale
Y’all. You know the drill by now – we have to give Designing Women season three the proper send off. Join us as we reflect on what happened both on the show and here on the Sweet Tea & TV podcast. We’ll sneak in a game because…why not?

And, to show our appreciation for the ongoing support, this week’s “Extra Sugar” is exclusively available for our Patreons. We’re looking into new-this-season co-writer, Pam Norris, and getting a sense for what’s going on around the time of this season for the show and the actors. (Don’t miss out! You can sign up via our website - www.sweetteatv.com.)

November 14, 2022 Designing Women S3 E22 - Airbrushed and Spread-Eagle in a Centerfold
It’s an epic showdown in the season 3 finale of Designing Women between feminism and free speech. But, we mean, can’t we have both?? Not according to Julia…
Naturally, we have to close out the regular season with an “Extra Sugar” about censorship (spoiler alert: we’re not into it).
