Jean Smart, who played Charlene on Designing Women from 1986-1992, and was always considered to be the "serious actress" of the group; was not fond of the "very special episodes" that the show had a tendency of doing; tackling issues like AIDS; weight issues for women; looksism in society; porn, rape, the economy, racism , and sexism and it's many forms. Smart thought the show should stick to comedy:" I've always sort of felt that if you're going to be funny, then be funny, and let someone else do the drama in another project. Y'know you always see these shows where "It's a very special episode of....whatever"' Smart said dismissively. Smart went on to say that in spite of her initial resistance Linda Bloodworth Thompson won her over with her deft handling of serious topics; and her ability to balance comedy and topicality skillfully: "I felt like Linda pulled it off, and we pulled it off, and those are the shows that people still often come up to me and say "Oh, that was one of my favorite episodes."'
