Discrepancies
- Brother Jim Sugarbaker was never mentioned in the entire run of Designing Women, though in a 1988 episode titled "Oh, Brother", another Sugarbaker sibling named Clayton was introduced.
- Suzanne makes numerous references to her maid, Sapphire, having been her mammy, who stayed on with Suzanne through her entire life. One of the most memorable running plotlines from Designing Women was Suzanne's never-seen, psychotic, immigrant maid Consuela, who caused plenty of trouble for everyone at the Sugarbaker Design Firm.
- In the time since Suzanne departed for Japan when she left Designing Women, she was married twice. Her fourth husband is never mentioned.
- Anthony Bouvier (Meshach Taylor) made a guest appearance in the final episode. While plenty of references were made to his shenanigans with Suzanne on Designing Women, absolutely no mention is made of Etienne, whom Anthony was married to when the series ended.
