Amen to that! When Delta Burke left the show it was pretty much over!! I mean I loved all the other ladies and Meshach Taylor. But it was never the same without a Delta Burke as Suzanne Sugarbaker.. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
All the amazing humor aside ( of which there is tons) when Delta thanked Meshack for being her rock when she was having panic attacks & dealing with depression... What a beautiful & real loving moment between true friends. God I loved this show & we truly need this show updated & rebooted ! Strong, beautiful women & men.
@@SuperWolsey I really wish he had been a part of that show. It was a great show but I think it would have been even better with Meshach Taylor!!! They were so great together
Hal Holbrook and Jean Smart's real life husband who dated Mary-jo on the show, just passed away March 18th. I love the show and the cast was so great together. Taboo topics were covered without fear or complacency. It wouldn't float these days, unfortunately.
@@stacyholmes9552 Amen to that! They actually did a lot of episodes of things that were very taboo in the late 80s early 90s. Specially about aids at the peak when things were so bad. Our president Ronald Reagan wouldn’t even talk about it until millions of people have died!! God bless The creators of the show!!
Amen to that.. My grandmother was like my second mama. And she loved these TV shows and I grew up watching them. Every time I watch them I feel like she’s here with me. RIP Nanny
This show helped me when living with my oldest son. He worked all the time, my other children needing help and I had car injuries at the time. Thank you for this video!!!
I had the great good fortune to be in California when the pilot was being done. I was so fortunate to be in the audience. They wanted our opinion. My reply was, “You have a HIT on your hands. Finally women portrayed as they are: intelligent, wise, far more than what we’re ever given credit for.” If I remember correctly; a woman wrote it. Of course; I said Thank you as well.
9:38 I only knew Alice Ghostley as the voice of Corriba in “Izzy’s Quest For Olympic Gold”, the animated special about the 1996 Olympic mascot, but my god she is so funny here😂😂😂
The common thread with so many of these long running classic shows is that the cast really loved and supported each other. There was so much bad press and inaccurate reporting going on when DB left the show claiming they were all so angry at her (and vice versa) but as usual it was just fake news and gossip. As we all know now, Delta's issues were with the producers.

@@melodiefrances3898 Anthony was a not a "flamer", nor, imo, did he "come off" as heterosexist or homophobic on the show. He had several beautiful girlfriends throughout the seasons. Meshach Taylor married his second wife in 1983 and they had three children, he also had another child with his first wife. .... PEACE.
I love how delta thanked him for being there for her.she also mentioned that at his funeral. They had a wonderful relationship
Every time i ve seen delta burke the actress she is sensitive , smart and gentle. They really treated her badly yet her class shows through anyway.
I agree!

AND DELTA AND MR. TAYLOR WERE FRIENDS UNTIL THE VERY END.DELTA SPOKE AT HIS FUNERAL.
Amen to that.
Berniece - "Black man, Black man; Where have you gone to?!" OH MY GOSH, HYSTERICAL!!!!
Lmao 🤣 Alice ghostly did an amazing job!!! Always laugh when she did that..
🤣🤣🤣🤣 And when she introduced him as her illegitimate son
@@RH-tv9hk You can't help but love Bernice.
The Anthony and Suzanne show. That would have been a show to watch!
I'm surprised they didn't get him back for Women of the House
Amen to that!! ❤️ Rest in peace Meshach Taylor, Dixie Carter, And Alice Ghostly!!
@@SuperWolsey I really wish he had been a part of that show. It was a great show but I think it would have been even better with Meshach Taylor!!! They were so great together
Those two were the most fun couple to watch. It clear they had real affection for each other.
What a terrific show this was--wonderfully written, and performed by actors who had been perfectly cast.
Rest In Peace Mr Meshach Taylor, Ms Dixie Carter, and Ms Alice Ghostley.

Linda Bloodworth is an amazing writer, but jeez. Delta Burke HANDED her the entire character of Suzanne Sugarbaker.
Thank you so much for putting this up. Always will be my favorite show.
What a wonderful man!
Such beautiful words said about him... Thank-you for sharing...
R.I.P
I just wish they would have discussed Anthony's "Hyena Laugh" I just LOVED his laugh.
When he was pretending to be Suzanne's maid and did the laugh, then said, "I'm sorry, my teeth are enormous"
This was my grandmother's favorite show so now when i look at it now i thinks of her miss you grandma Rip

Suzzane would be perfect friends with Blanche Devereaux, Whitley Gilbert, Sandra Clark, Regine Hunter and Toni Childs. The Selfish Squad Lol.
That would be an awesome show!!
@@taylordowning2533 Wouldn't it tho? LOL
Growing up they were all the women my little girl melodramatic self wanted to be.
Idk. They might be too selfish for each other, then start competing lol
@@amaniaman7818 True. It might turn into Real Housewives real quick LMAO!
Regarding being better then others. Suzanne - "Oh, that's not true. I'm better than a lot of people I know!" HaHa!!!! You tell em' Suzanne!!!!
That is wonderful to hear how Mescah supported her.
I have definitely told a man when in doubt just Hold her.

Suzanne Sugarbaker: Excuse me! Excuse me!?!
Me: 😅🤣😭
Suzanne's delivery of those words is hilarious! "EXCUSE ME!!!" ... PEACE.
Dang I just realized before Karen from Will/Grace there was Suzanne
Great ensemble cast of beautiful, strong, funny southern women, and an extra funny delivery man ❤️they just don’t make shows like this anymore
Black people do tend to speak to other black people a lot. Lol. We were just taught to speak to each other. Lol.
Hell I'm a white guy from the South.....we'll wave at someone while driving and won't know who the hell they are!!
@@uncletaylorify Hell we do that too LOL. We either nod, wave or shout out : How you doin'?
It makes sense... you feel safer. Who knows what kind of person the white person is. Ie: racist
@@uncletaylorify from the south is the difference. In general white Yankees are aloof with strangers.
Cindy Birdsong! Lol
When that first aired I did not know that Cindy Birdsong was a real person; but his delivery of the line so on point that I was in tears.
I've seen that tent scene many times and each time, I laugh out loud. So funny.😅😅
Bernice: What does that mean? Someone left my cake out in the rain?
😅😂🤣😭👏🏆
🎶Black man Black man where have they found you....🎶
Love love love this show!
9:38 I only knew Alice Ghostley as the voice of Corriba in “Izzy’s Quest For Olympic Gold”, the animated special about the 1996 Olympic mascot, but my god she is so funny here😂😂😂
Suzanne Sugarbaker played by Delta was one of TVs all time classic characters. She was terrific.
Fun fact... Paul Lynde based his "actor voice" on Alice Ghostly
One of the best shows, that was ever created.
Jean Smart actually called Alice "Bernice."
Lol. Yes she did. This was my show back then. This video is bitter/sweet to me.
7:45 “BERNICE!” Alice Ghostley.
I am glad they could come together for this. Was this after the show imploded?

Well that is not true. I'm better then a lot of people that I know. Lol. She was a mess.

😂 Breast Milk is sweet.
anthony was not very much in touch with his feminine side, he often came off as extremely heterosexist and homophobic.
🙄🤦♀️
I assume you are being sarcastic. He was a flamer.
@@melodiefrances3898 Anthony was a not a "flamer", nor, imo, did he "come off" as heterosexist or homophobic on the show. He had several beautiful girlfriends throughout the seasons.
