It looks like one of the most popular sitcoms of the 80s/90s is about to be back on Television. According to reports ABC has given a script commitment to a show from Designing Women creators Linda Bloodworth Thomason and Harry Thomason for a reboot. The new series would be like the original with focus on a new group of female interior designers. The original series starred; Dixie Carter, Delta Burke, Annie Potts and Jean Smart. It ran from 1986 – 1983 and was centered around the lives of four women and one man working together at an interior designing firm in Atlanta, Georgia called Sugarbaker & Associates.
