11 am – 1 pm ET – DESIGNING WOMEN new to getTV!
It’s not just as good as you remember, it’s better.

Our four-episode mid-day block means you have a good excuse to take a long lunch with the ladies and Anthony Bouvier (Mesach Taylor). Read more about Designing Women on the getTV blog.

It’s like a rom-com, but with dead bodies. This underrated, Hawaii-set crime series is the perfect summertime show.

Plus, it’s never been on DVD!
