Empty Nest is an American sitcom that originally aired on NBC from 1988 to 1995. The series was created as a spin-off of The Golden Girls by creator and producer Susan Harris.
For its first three seasons, the show was one of the top 10 most watched programs. It was produced by Touchstone Television.
The concept was an adaptation of the British comedy series Father, Dear Father, also featuring a father living with his two daughters and large dog.
Empty Nest revolves around pediatrician Dr. Harry Weston, whose life is turned upside down when his wife, Libby, dies, and two of his adult daughters move back into the family home in Miami.
Early episodes of Empty Nest established that The Golden Girls were neighbors of the Westons, and Dr. Harry Weston also appeared on episodes of The Golden Girls this same season.
Eldest daughter Carol was a neurotic and high-strung recent divorce, while middle daughter Barbara was a tough undercover police officer.
The two sisters frequently bickered and vied for the attention of their father.
The Westons' large dog Dreyfuss was also prominently featured on Empty Nest.

Life goes on, and so do we,
Just how we do it is no mystery.
One by one (one by one), we fill the days,
We find a thousand different ways.
Sometimes ...
