Sony has yet another reboot in the works. The television studio is developing an update of the ’90s sitcom “Designing Women.”
The show’s original creator, Linda Bloodworth-Thomason, is attached to lead the reboot, according to TVLine.
“Designing Women” ran for seven seasons on CBS, before concluding on May 24, 1993, sharing a night with “Murphy Brown.” You know, that other classic comedy about to return to the network.
The series centers around the fictional design firm Sugarbaker and Associates, a witty bully pulpit for caustic social and political humor. The founder of the company is Julia Sugarbaker (Dixie Carter), a sharp-tongued but elegant and surprisingly compassionate woman. Her younger sister, Suzanne (Delta Burke), is a former beauty queen who is long on charm but a bit slow on the uptake. Their associates are Mary Jo Shively (Annie Potts), a recent divorcee, and officer manager Charlene Frazier (Jean Smart), whose sweetness is matched only by her naivete. Their deliverman is Anthony Bouvier (Meshach Taylor), a well-spoken ex-convict, and cheerfully dotty senior citizen Bernice Clifton (Alice Ghostley) often drops by for a visit as well.
It is unclear what cast members — if any — would return for the reboot, with Carter having passed on in 2010 and and Taylor in 2014.

Does every single show or movie have to be “rebooted”??? Is there any creativity left in our mass media??
That was already happening nearly 40 years ago when I went with my Army roommate to his second job at a radio station.
FGS do these people have an original thought? Looks like the creativity has totally left the.....well.....left.
Well I think the Dems are becoming creative with their platform, instead of running on impeaching Trump and opposing everything Trump, they are running on impeaching Trump and really really opposing everything Trump
Heheheh
I wasn’t crazy about the first go round.
Great, because we need another preachy left wing 22 minutes of propaganda every week
ROFLOL! Now that is funny; but considering that it is Hollyweird we are talking about, I wouldn’t be surprised if it happened that way.
I think still had a loud suit on in the future.
Up Next, a reboot of Thirtysomething.
Entitled “Sixtysomething”.
I guess next they’ll be doing a rehash of the Golden Girls. Never could understand its popularity.
Sacrilege!
With you on the bleeeeech, though I always had a massive crush on Delta Burke
I don’t know...I know HE was a scummy jerk too, but don’t know the details.
Wouldn’t surprise me. He obviously thought nothing of walking all over the financial health of normal, everyday working people so he could buy himself another car or house. And those people lost their life savings. Unbelievable.
It’s the Leftist way.
At least one will be transgender, one or two lesbians and 2 women of color.
Didn’t much care for the unprecedented use of 4 letter words on the show.
Creativity has reached it’s limit. Too many reboots of old shows these days.
‘Papillon’ “rebooted”
Steve McQueen is spinning...
