Bernice's talk show from Designing Women. "Bernice, I don't know exactly what your problem is. . ." Alice Ghostley, Jean Smart, Dixie Carter, Meshach Taylor
Designing Women and the Golden Girls, were by far the greatest shows featuring women in any era of television! I’m so glad I was able to see and appreciate both sitcoms when they aired for the first time! I miss these days so much....
Yes! Two *amazing* and *hilarious* sitcoms which, in my eyes, were ahead of the times!! So fantastic!! (We _desperately_ need some female ensemble lead sitcoms out there today! It’s been **far** too long!)
The first time I saw Alice Ghostly was on Good Times and she stole every scene she was in! She was great as a walk on, supporting, lead...wherever you put her!
Watch Bernice’s face as Julia starts in on her during the commercial break. There are at least two places where Alice Ghostley broke character and started laughing 1) when Julia suggested that her arterial flow had stopped entirely and 2) when she threatened to throw Bernice across the studio. You can clearly see and hear Alice lose it in both places. Priceless.
Ohh I always loved Bernice, my other fave scene is when she wears the Christmas tree skirt as an actual skirt....man she is funny!! She was also in the Grease musical movie!
This show takes me to an overwhelming nostalgic state of mind. I used to watch designing women back in the 90's when i was back home in Saudi Arabia. Gosh time flies
Great writing! Also, the word "titillate" is a great callback to previous season episodes, where the word was used, usually to the dislike/discomfort of the women.
"Bernice...i don't know exactly what your problem is...." Dixie was incredible in this role. The way you can hear Julia's fury in her voice...she's still speaking softly and slowly. 😂😂 Alice was always great as Bernice as well.
If Dixie Carter was the madam of the house. I would be there so much the mailman would deliver my mail there. I mean that in the most respectful way. I love that woman. Hal Holbrook was a lucky man and he knew it. RIP both of them.
these women,plus that lucky Anthony, haha, they R so funny n the looks on their faces is priceless n benice n Charlene both can't hold back some laughs themselves, especially bernice when Julia was askn what was goin on wit her, hahaha, love this show, the entire cast was perfect together!! thnx !!
hehehe she was hanging her head out of the window shouting at a working girl 'work it girl. how would you like to strut your stuff on access televison.' i almost ran into a tree.
This clip ends right before it, but the best part of the episode is when Mary Jo arrives & uses the show to publicize her being dumped by Donald & to let viewers know that they are only setting themselves up for heartbreak if they go out with him. The episode contains one of Annie's best performances, especially when she finds out from the women in Donald's office that she is not the only one strung along by him. If people have to start a support group to get over being burned by you, you are trash.
This is hilarious, almost too funny! If that show were real life and I worked with them, I would be laughing so much I wouldn't get much work done.I wish the entire episode were available, some are hard to find online.
"Hello and welcome to senior round up, I'm Bernice Clifton your host for the week tonight were talking about a problem that preys on the mind of every senior citizen #SexForSell "
Guests, on today's show, we're going to talk about decorators who have spent their spare times as call girls! God, I sound like former daytime talk show host Sally Jessy Raphael! #LOL
Bernice is EVERYTHING 🏆
Everything!!!!!!
My 2 older sisters watched this show.. Now I see why.. BERNICE is the BOMB.!!
Designing Women and the Golden Girls, were by far the greatest shows featuring women in any era of television! I’m so glad I was able to see and appreciate both sitcoms when they aired for the first time! I miss these days so much....
I feel same way... I still watch the reruns of both of these shows!!
Yes! Two *amazing* and *hilarious* sitcoms which, in my eyes, were ahead of the times!! So fantastic!!

"Just don't shorten it!" I died...Lol!
I'm a grown man and I'm telling ya.... I do so miss this show. Theindustry doesn't make em like this anymore.
I love how Julia's happy smile immediately vanishes when she hears "Sex for sale." 😂😂 Oh, Bernice. Always hilarious.
It went from "This is nice!" to "IMMA KILL HER!!"
The first time I saw Alice Ghostly was on Good Times and she stole every scene she was in! She was great as a walk on, supporting, lead...wherever you put her!

I agree with you Jay. Bernice was a pistol. I miss this kind of comedy.
Bernice was wild

Bernice was my favorite character.
This show takes me to an overwhelming nostalgic state of mind. I used to watch designing women back in the 90's when i was back home in Saudi Arabia. Gosh time flies
RIP Dixie, Alice, and Meshach 💔
And Jan Hooks
@@gbrown932 aw, Jan...
Julia's reaction is priceless!!!!
Great writing!
Also, the word "titillate" is a great callback to previous season episodes, where the word was used, usually to the dislike/discomfort of the women.
"Bernice, I don't know if your medication is off, or if your arterial flow has just completely STOPPED..." LMAO! This never gets old.
Mar Thivierge Well that’s show biz
Well that’s not a nasty word is it?
I think it’s ok
Just don’t shorten it
Jude Fenwick Do I look alright if I don’t don’t tell me cause we’ve only got a minute till we roll tape
IM TRYING TO WATCH THAT WHOLE EPISODE
Also, when Bernice replies, "So what's your point?"
"Bernice...i don't know exactly what your problem is...." Dixie was incredible in this role. The way you can hear Julia's fury in her voice...she's still speaking softly and slowly. 😂😂 Alice was always great as Bernice as well.
How patience & good they were to Bernice!😊 How people took care of each other!
Bernice: "I think it's ok to use the word TITILLATE... Just don't shorten it"
LMAO!! 😂
Ivan Zabala That's one of the funniest lines🤣

If Dixie Carter was the madam of the house. I would be there so much the mailman would deliver my mail there. I mean that in the most respectful way. I love that woman. Hal Holbrook was a lucky man and he knew it. RIP both of them.

My favorite episode!!! 🤣💕
I loved this episode, it was 1 of my favorites.
karameldreem Bernice should had said, black man, black man to Anthony. 😂😂
This episode and the New Orleans episode were two of the best scripted episodes of DW
This was my favorite scene of the entire series. I haven't stopped laughing at this scene since!
It has me in tears.
@@roberttrail7013 I was crying, from laughter. I love Alice Ghostley
The golden girls did a similar scene. Rose had blanche and Dorothy on her show
Omg classic Bernice!!!
I always liked this show.My fave eps were when they traveled.
I love it! ❤️
I literally died watching this scene! 😂
omg this always had me cracking up hard
This show is a thousand times more funny than sitcoms on now.

I love this , Julie Sugarbaker your really the madame .
"I think it's okay. Just don't shorten it." Haha
Bernice laughing as Julia threatens her is fucking hilarious
This is hilarious, almost too funny! If that show were real life and I worked with them, I would be laughing so much I wouldn't get much work done.I wish the entire episode were available, some are hard to find online.
I don't know if you get Hulu, but they just started streaming the entire series.
Bernice and Jan Hooks is why i watched this show
🎶 GIVING IT THE BEST I CAN! 🎶
@@crlewis Yes! I had forgotten that!
"Hello and welcome to senior round up, I'm Bernice Clifton your host for the week tonight were talking about a problem that preys on the mind of every senior citizen #SexForSell "
LMBO !!!! LOVE me some Bernice !!!! 🤣🤣
Love it! That's all just love it.
The look on Anthony face. He know it was going to be some BS
It always is
Alice Ghostly is a master class. Rest In Peace.
Bernice was such a joy to see
This shit was so funny I'm lol in 2019..
How many "treats" do you turn in a week... LOL
Treats?
I think she means 'tricks'.
That's right how many
Julia the Madam of Sugarbaker House 🤣🤣🤣
I miss those classy ladies!!
love this😂
Where's Suzanne when you need her. Haaaaa!
Judy Smith I’m thinking this is season 5 ? When Delta and the producers were at odds, Suzanne didn’t get much air time, in some shows.
Maybe she was having another bout with Dutch Elm Disease
Yeah, this was episode 12 of season 5. I am not sure she even appeared in this episode.
Eric Andrews Delta did appear in this episode.
@@mikurtis1767 LOL
Decorating call girls. Lol 😂 Bernice
I would hardly use the word. . . titillates
Which episode is it?
Season 5, it's called "And Now, Here's Bernice"
This was the funniest fucking episode ever
Guests, on today's show, we're going to talk about decorators who have spent their spare times as call girls! God, I sound like former daytime talk show host Sally Jessy Raphael! #LOL
Everybody has to have something to fall back on
@@crlewis They always do! #LOL
this is hilarious
Do I look alright if I don't tell me because we’ve only got a minute before we roll tape
priceless!!
Julia's face the whole time🤣🤣
Well that’s shoebiz
They should all have known better than to appear on a live TV show hosted by Bernice Clifton.
AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH I'M laughing so hard ba ha ha ha ha ha
Bwahahahah Hahahahaha Hahahahaha Hahahahaha!!!!!
Hilarious!
I'll ask my cardiac doc, " how's my arterial flow?"....

Berniece should have said everyone needs something to fall back on besides their back. that would have been funnier.
