About this item
Product Description
Women of the House takes Delta Burkes Suzanne Sugarbaker from the interior design firm of Designing Women and places her in an even more contentious setting - the U.S. House of Representatives. In this star-studded CBS spin-off, Sugarbaker - the former Miss World Georgia - takes over her most recent husbands Congressional seat after he dies in office, and proceeds to hilariously rock the boat. Delta Burkes brassy Suzanne finds Washington not quite ready for her brand of politics, though she does form an unusual bond with then-current President Bill Clinton. Suzanne also brings her mentally-challenged brother Jim (Better Call Sauls Jonathan Banks) and her young adopted daughter, Desiree (Brittany Parkyn), insuring that smooth-sailing is not on the docket. Teri Garr also stars as Suzannes press secretary Sissy Emerson, a down-and-out reporter doing her best to clean up her drinking act. Everybody Loves Raymonds Patricia Heaton portrays Natty Hollingsworth, Suzannes snotty, uber-Conservative, pain-in-the-behind administrative assistant whose Congressman boyfriend is in prison. And then there is Jennifer Malone (Valerie Mahaffey, Julie Hagerty), a vivacious, naive, frail housewife whose husband has recently left her to handle her tyrannical kids alone.
