I didn't realize until the past few years that Empty Nest was a Golden Girls spin off.

MODERATORS
There was another early 90s show, Nurses, which was a spin-off of Empty Nest.
For a few years in the 90s, there was a whole Golden Girls Cinematic Universe lol.
Man, Empty Nest was a fun show.
totally. Thankfully someone uploaded upscaled recordings to Youtube because you cannot buy or stream it anywhere.
I'm watching Empty Nest and Scrubs more-or-less at the same time, so I've got two shows running right now that both have sassy nurses named Laverne lol
I was just thinking of this show the other day!
