TV Show Plot For Empty Nest

Empty Nest creator Susan Harris, fresh off the sucessful series Golden Girls, decided to develop a companion series set just down the street from the golden girls and centering around the empty nest syndrome.

After the initial pilot (the cast included Rita Moreno) was scraped, Harris assembled a talented cast and reworked the new series. From its very first episode, Empty Nest was a hit. The series showed itself as more than just a spinoff, and eventually had more viewers than the Golden Girls did.

Dinah manoff is hot!

I watched the show because of her - her character was a neurotic freak, but she is so gorgeous - I admit to being a Dinah-addict..
