May 24, 1993 –

The firm of Sugarbaker & Associates closed their doors when the final episode of Designing Women: Gone with a Whim was aired on CBS TV on this date.
During Delta Burke’s falling out with the ladies on the show, she privately apologized to everyone. But it took over a decade for Delta and Dixie Carter to make amends. Burke apologized to Carter (who at the time of the falling out between the two of them, sided with producers over Burke’s on set behavior.) in 2002 and made an appearance on Carter’s show Family Law and all appeared well between the two during the 2003 designing women reunion, and looked even better during the 2006 reunion. Burke and the ladies were heartbroken over Carter’s death as well, and in one media photo Burke is seen having to be held up by husband Gerald McRaney and co-star Annie Potts.
