Julia Does Not Want To Do Jury Duty! | Designing Women

[@kdizzle79]

I cannot believe how much this show still has me crying in laughter damn near 40 years later

[@matthewtravisano1097]

“Ohhhh really?” Best line ever.

[@mbr1152]

Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more. 😂😂😂 I died

[@theycallmedopeness]

The way I’m screaming 20 something years later. This show was and still is iconic.

[@lisarice4402]

I dearly love this show!!

[@debbimahan5095]

I kinda had to channel Julia while serving on a jury a few years ago. I was not the selected foreperson,but I eventually took the reins and educated the room. I drew on my previous experience where my last day of jury duty turned into two weeks. I "persuaded " the room to come to an agreement in one afternoon. The judge congratulated us on our decision and said it's what he would have done. Thank you,Ms Sugarbaker 😂

[@ms13909]

The writing for this show is really underrated. It was a quality program. The way Dixie delivers the lines is icing on the cake. This had me in stitches.

[@natalieschannel7675]

“You’d be wise to ask yourself: ‘Do I know where my baby is?!”

Which, I understand, some of you believe is on of the nicest places you have been in a while *eye squint*. PRICELESS!

[@jenniferbussey1708]

Dixie Carter should have won an Emmy for this scene alone. Hilarious!!!

[@catcauldron217]

Yes! And for The Beauty Contest scene.

[@jmiller297]

She was *SO ROBBED*

[@latto333]

There are many scenes that should've won a Emmy for

[@JeffTheGent]

@@latto333 Yep, especially the ones where she tells off a man trying to hit on her and the other ladies, and the famous monologue ending in “THAT was the night the lights went out in Georgia!”

[@ccefc_families297]

"Did any of you LISTEN to the judge?" She was so calm and civil and then turned razor sharp at the word "listen" , like in "terminator" mode. Hilarious!

[@anthonymeans7439]

Julia's rants were so funny and intelligent. She knew just what to say ,how to say it!

[@johnbellocchio66]

That's called class. We used to have that in this country

[@mgrella63]

The writing was Amazing and no one can deliver lines like Dixie Carter! She was the BEST!!!! I just wanted to Thank You again for turning me into the judge......... Hahahahahahahahahaha

[@RedStrikerBeetleborg]

suzanne delivered a funny one too: "I think you and your baby should get some black wigs on, and get the hell out of town"

[@thatjpwing]

Extras in scenes like these are under appreciated. The guy sitting to Julia's left (with the suit vest and tie) does very well with his reactions.

[@unexpectedvixen5685]

You and your baby should get some black wigs on and get the hell out of town has to be the best line I've ever heard

[@donnamarievalentine1156]

Delta Burke is awesome! I love how she can go from that sweet, Southern charm voice to the voice she used saying this! So great!

[@danawinsor1380]

Particularly the way Delta Burke delivers it.

[@noprahwinfrey2007]

“Oh, REALLY?”

[@lls3676]

"Well, I don't appreciate you leaving your big ol' box of June Allison bladder pads on my nightstand for all the maids and bellboys to see. Of course , you don't care if you never get out of here. You don't even have to get up to go to the bathroom." 😂

[@jenniferbussey1708]

Best part!!! 🤣😂

[@jasonmalloy1451]

Hilarious!!!!

[@donnamarievalentine1156]

OMG I just read this again and I'm dying! I have to be careful though, because I don't have my "June Allison bladder pads on!" Ha ha ha

[@SaidParker]

These scene still makes me howl 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@junkboy555]

The face she made after Julia read her in front of everybody.

[@thatjpwing]

Yay for the unedited version of this scene! In syndication Julia often skips over the grease paint part and the "hit the road jack... " chant.

[@jmiller297]

The syndicated version stinks... 💯

[@madncqt]

it's missing julia talking about overdue library books

[@junkboy555]

The fact that Dixie Carter didn’t even have to audition for Julia Sugarbaker shows you how much the writers and producers believed in her talent to deliver such riveting performances.

[@kittykate314]

One of the funniest scenes ever!!!

[@djr6876]

One of her top rants.

[@oldsalt4798]

I've watched this clip about 5000 times...and it's still funny.

[@HeHimHeaux]

Darn! They shorten the scene. Julia calls Charlene a “big ole donkey Girl Scout”. 😂😂😂

[@RhaegarTargaryen1st]

2:18 Janice smugly raising her hand as if she can actually take Julia on always makes me laugh.

[@leo-unddieAnderen]

😆

[@maynard_ross]

What a great scene. Why can't they make television like this anymore.😆

[@bamainatlanta]

Are you serious? They would never make a show this white again

[@mistymitchell2790]

She should have been a lawyer shes great at arguing and telling it like it is

[@jasonmalloy1451]

Remember Charlene I have your address!!! You'd be wise to ask yourself DO I KNOW WHERE MY BABY IS?!?! What a hilarious episode!!

[@christophermichael49]

"do you know where my baby is" HAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! and the way she's sitting on the bed with her hand on her hip LMAAAAAAOOOOOOOO

[@thenuclearsandwich]

I love the rest of the episode there Suzanna and Charlene go on the shopping spree. That part was hilarious.

[@ScoopNemeth]

It's Julia Sugarbaker...RUN FOR THE HILLS!!!!! Get on her bad side and you're done for.

[@megan2176]

Love her! Queen of rants!! :)

[@JamesJones-zq7pc]

And one of the original queens of "Read"

[@reynoldbhengu2063]

oh how I love this woman ...

[@absolutelynoidea69]

The perfect combination of writers and performers

[@eduardo_corrochio]

My favorite Julia episode. The writing is sharp and hilarious, and the delivery by the cast is fantastic. I have seen this episode maybe twelve times and it still gives me giggles to the Nth degree.

[@lafeil]

This what miss from tv today, good comedy.

[@joelevans2087]

My favorite episode

[@kammorris5902]

Julia said and I quote, "read my lips 💋. " 😆 🤣 😂

[@user-bn7cg5kz9p]

I wish this was the whole episode not just a clip. My partner was an extra on this one in the record store. I can hear him laughing in the background. He said after the taping was over he recalled that Dixie Carter was super nice and down to earth.

[@darkseaofempathy]

Oh, cool! Really lucky for him that he got to meet her, I've always heard she was really nice. I would've loved to watch her work on set and turn the Terminator persona on and off for the cameras; watching actors do that is really interesting. Was this the only episode he was of this show?

[@JoanBette]

They really don’t make em like this anymore!!

[@spede1]

She threatened Olivia. LOL

[@YourJellyFishAteMyTV]

Can u imagine being on jury duty with Julia.... loooooool 😵😵😵

[@rneumeye]

I can.... I would have voted the right way. 😶🗳️⚖️ 😅

[@Robert-ey9xh]

She got all the tantrum moments while the others just sat there all the time.

[@steadmondsmith5779]

She is channeling JOAN Crawford in the Pepsi Cola boardroom

Probably the best Julia centric episode of the series

Dixie was never even nominated for an Emmy.

[@BriGuyIL1980]

@@mrbear1302 And that's a damn shame

[@augustofernandes9669]

Julia was the one who centers the show actually, always thought Dixie deserved top billing, but it might be pretty much alphabetical

[@corinaperez226]

My favorite episode. Brilliant woman, great show.

[@stephenwinter8892]

Yes Julia you tell them who's the boss 😄

[@ladennayoung2939]

With a woman with no lips. Lol.

4:09 "Oh really?"

[@ladennayoung2939]

Duty as an American citizen? She was just being extra.

[@AJBeals1212]

Im about to go on jury duty next week. Hopefully I don't pull a Julia.

[@brockreynolds870]

Julia should have just told them she couldn't do it. They always make exceptions for business owners. I've never had to do jury duty my entire life.

[@catcauldron217]

They took her in handcuffs. She had already ditched jury duty twice.

[@Fireglo]

@@catcauldron217 it's so disgusting how jurors are often treated worse than the actual criminals. I remember someone got berated by the judge and found in contempt because their bus was late. I really hope he appealed and won.

[@Lynn-nx6ue]

Hats off to the casting director! Janice looks like a mime even without the makeup

[@LarryTurner-g9l]

I wish I could meet one one of the sisters they southern ladies u gotta love em Susan is a nut❤😂😊

[@frankies6770]

Haha always loved Julia!!!!

[@jennyrengood9875]

"Julia would probably just strap some snowshoes to her pumps and hunt you like Cariboo." And I'm sure there wouldn't be a hair out of place nor a drop of sweat on Julia's brow when that happens. 😂

Delta!!!

jimmy carter!!!

[@TheRivrPrncess]

I love it when a show has decent and funny jokes about Jehovah's Witnesses. Ever since this episode I've wanted to meet Delta Burke and tell her I'm not at her door so please don't get a gun and fire warning shots over my head. 🤣🤣

[@angeliclighthouse9279]

So was she able to leave and have dinner with Carter?

[@MS80-12S]

Nope she didn’t

[@SMiles.21]

She missed dinner but they sent her flowers asking her to drop by their hotel room if she got out by a certain time they were having drinks with a friend and she left.

Wow....she's very snobby and rude. I don't remember seeing that when it originally aired.

[@r0bw00d]

Probably because you had seen all of the scenes beforehand to give it context.
