SUZANNE: I think these pantyhose are too dark for this dress.
JULIA: Oh, my goodness. Suzanne, do something. That could be embarrassing. I mean, in 45 minutes when the finest people in Georgia are gathered here before me, I wouldn't want anyone to say, "Did you see that woman with her head stuck in the staircase? Yes. That woman the Governor just stepped over? Don't you think her pantyhose are a little dark for her dress?"
SUZANNE: Now, listen, I have a lighter pair right here.
JULIA: Suzanne, of all the experiences I would like to avoid, I believe having my pantyhose changed in the front hallway of the Governor's Mansion would rank right up there.
SUZANNE: Well, just excuse me for livin'. It wasn't something I was going to particularly enjoy myself, anyway.

I used to watch when I was in grad school. They showed it at 9 am on CBS stations. This was one of their funniest episodes.

Have I told you lately that I love you? :D

One episode Mary Jo gave Bernice a Christmas Tree skirt to put around the bottom of the tree, and silly Bernice thought it was for her, so she had this skirt around her waist. When Mary Jo told her what it was really for, Bernice said she thought it fit awfully tight.

Every time I decorate the Christmas tree I think of that episode. I look at the Christmas tree skirt and think "hmm ... wonder if it would fit?"

I'm so excited for the Nickelodeon reruns!

My favorite Julia moment was when she was in the bathroom with Resse's new assistant and Julia compares the woman to compost.

That speech Julia gives to Ray Don is so :eek: . That woman has got a mouth on her!

Bumping this thread 'cause I love this show ... :)

Charlene and Mary Jo are frantically tearing a salad bar apart to find Suzanne's pearls, which Suzanne had lent to Mary Jo and which she lost at the restaurant, when a busboy catches Charlene with her arm in a vat of dressing ...

Charlene: Can you tell me, is this French or Thousand Island?

Busboy (stunned): Thousand Island.

Charlene (drops the container and wipes off her hand): I don't care for Thousand Island.

Yea, I love the Miss Georgia episode.

Also, any of them with Lewis Grizzard...GOOO DAWGS!! :)

Bumping because it's on TV Land's Block Party tonight. Showing at this moment: Dash Goff, the Writer!

What about the Lee Sing episode? I loved that one.

I just wanted to bump to celebrate the fact that the 1st season is out on DVD!

:does happy dance:

:D

bump!

Since this has been bumped...

I loved when Anthony would make mention of his "unfortunate incarceration", and when Mary Jo was so fascinated with the size of other women's breasts, she said that Suzanne's bra fit over her head!

There are waaaaay too many quotes I loved from this series, but almost all of 'em were said by Julia. I always did love it when she would be flabbergasted and say, "Have you all just COMPLETELY lost your minds?"

Sigh. When I was 16, if you'd asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would've answered, "JU-lia Sugarbaker."
