WE LOVE YOU Alice Ghostley....RIP...August 14, 1926 -- September 21, 2007..Tthanks for the memories...we all wish we had a tree skirt to wear this Christmas Season!! (Alice GHostley: Tony Award-winning American actress. She was best known for her roles as Esmeralda on Bewitched (in which she guest-starred from 1969 to 1972), as Cousin Alice on Mayberry R.F.D. (1970-1971) and as Bernice Clifton on Designing Women (1986-1993) (Emmy Nomination, Best Supporting Actress; 1992).
One of my favortie DW exchanges. I think about this clip at least once a year when I put the skirt around the Christmas tree or when I go to someone else's house and they have a Christmas tree skirt. I just smile and think of these lovely Southern Ladies. God bless them.
Nothing as funny as seeing Suzanne's face when Bernice blows a New Year's party favor in her ear ... It was never the same and the chemistry was lost when Delta departed ...
Thank goodness for streaming channels that you can see this show again and again. Miss the old cast of DW. It was not the same when Delta left and even when Jean Smart left afterwards.
Julia: 'Well, Bernice, what are you doing?" Bernice: "Just scratching my nose. I wasn't picking it." lol This was the best line and should have been in the video.
Suzanne was my favorite ! Felt a kinship with her OTT attitude AND when she sold one of her Cadillacs so Bernice could get her nose 👃 fixed! A great duo who played off each other so well!! 🏆. 👑. There's another tiara for you Suzanne 👑 👑. 👑 👸 👑
"Inspected by Francis Inspected by Judy Inspected by JoAnn I don't know these people and I don't know where they have been or who they have been with."
This reminds me of that one rant Julia had towards the northern reporter about southern people eating dirt. It went like" we southerners don't hide our crazy people-we bring em down and let em go about" or something to that effect. Bernice Clifton-Southern crazy woman with class.
The shoulder pads made me think of an episode of the Golden Girls. I believe it was Blanche had mentioned something to Dorothy about her shoulder pads and her response was..."I m not wearing any!!" 80s sitcoms were the best!!!
I remember the episode where one of the neighbors stole their idea for a Christmas decoration. "I say we get some rocks and sticks and go show them the real meaning of Christmas." ~ Bernice
Happy New Year to you Bernice, You little fruit cake! LMAO!!! Oh.....well no wonder......I liked to never got this thing on!! LMAO!! ROTFLMAO!!! Each one of these has a little "inspected by" sticker on it..........I don't know these people, I don't know where they've been or who they've been with! LOL LMAO!!
@gravelandgrain100 - that quote wasn't from the Episode about Eating Dirt, it was from when Bernice's relative was trying to have her Committed, do a RU-vid search for "desigining women crazy people in south"
