Designing Women “Killing All the Right People” (5 October, 1987) Julia (Dixie Carter) and the rest of the Sugerbaker Coven are tasked with designing the funeral of fellow interior designer a tragic gay trope Kendall (Tony Goldwyn). Young President Fitz is dying of AIDS and wants the girls to help him go out in style. Meanwhile Mary Jo (Annie Potts) is taking on the local conservative School Marm and must debate in favor of sex education in schools. Mary Jo argues sex ed is not just stopping STIs but saving lives as its still 1987 and AIDS is still some scary voodoo curse. Julia goes on a classic tirade against a closed minded client and possibly loses a mint in revenue but it doesn’t matter because they put on the jazziest ‘Nawlins style funeral for Kendall who succumbs to illness by the time the credits roll. Episode 26 of Very Special Television tackles serious business like the AIDS epidemic, sex ed in elementary schools and Meshach Taylor’s ambiguous sexuality. Come along won’t you?!
