The best four years of my life... was the trainer of Bear (Dreyfuss) the first 4 seasons.. I am in a few of these outtakes. The one with the cricket. I don't know who put this together, or got this raw footage, but it is great! We were all like a family, and you can totally tell it during the outtakes. Richard was absolutely great to work with, and we had just a fun cast and crew.
It looks like they’re having fun doing this show. Sometimes the outtakes are funnier than the actual show, although the show is great too. I loved Dreyfuss. You did a great job
It is so wonderful to see how much fun they had on set and how much they cared for each other! And to see the greats come on as guest stars... Amazing.
Man Empty Nest was fun. I love Richard Mulligan, Dinah Manoff and David Leisure. But my favorite will always be Kristy McNichol, who became my very first crush when I was about 13-14. I was obsessed with her haha she was cute as a button, and a great actress. Then when I was 16 I met the love of my life: a total tomboy who is also named Barbara. In February 2022 that will have been exactly 20 years ago, and she still takes my breath away every I look at her. ❤ Thank you Kristy McNichol for making me realize how cool tomboys really are. ^_^ Thank you for uploading this. Great to get a look behind the scenes of my favorite sitcom. Richard Mulligan is sorely missed.
These were absolutely hilarious!!!! As a huge Empty Nest fan, I am so happy to see such incredible memories of those involved but no longer with us (Richard Mulligan especially) preserved. I truly hope that if you come across more from the show, you will post them! Disney seriously needs to get off it's pridehorse with chucking out endless Marvel/Star Wars/Live-Action Remakes and release Empty Nest to DVD. It was honestly the best show they produced between The Golden Girls and Home Improvement and yet both of those series have been released in their entirety on DVD and on streaming platforms. Empty Nest deserves better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was one of the best shows on tv. Good clean humor and fun. No matter how many times I see the same episode I still laugh and the cast was THE BEST, absolutely love all of them !
This show brings back memories of me being in snowy New England as a preteen, this show would come at night (reruns by then, I believe) and I would dream about living in Sunny Florida. So funny because I made it down to live in Southern Florida and I was the only guy who like houses that were of this vintage and I wanted to decorate it as such, kind of how my Italian grandmother has her place in West Palm Beach. Nowadays I almost 40 years old living in Vegas and once again dreaming about FLA lol
Great show. A favorite. A great producing team. Susan Harris, Tony Thomas (Danny's son) and Paul Junger Witt. (R.I.P.). I met Kristy Mcnichol at an autograph convention once. She was waiting for her Ride to the airport so i was talking to her before she left. I was on the phone at the time talking to a friend. So I told my friend who I was talking to. So he said let me talk to her. So I said. Kristy my friend would like to talk to you. She talked to him for about 10 minutes. A Very nice person.
Dreyfuss the dog was absolutely adorable!! I believe he was on both this show and Golden Girls at the same time, taking turns between the two shows at once!!
He was on a few golden girls episodes because on the show the Weston's lived next door to the golden girls. In real life they did film GG in the soundstage next door to Empty Nest
I was so in love with Kristy McNichol at the time this show was on T.V. it broke my heart when she gave up on the entertainment industry. What a wonderful person she was and still is. I hope she found the happiness she was looking for. she was and still is so attractive. Richard Mulligan was so funny! his sudden death was tragic. and sorry to hear about Dinah Manoffs'' son dying so soon
I LOVE Kristy McNichol!!!! She is so stinking gorgeous and always has been. Dinah Manoff is super hot to me too! I loved her when she did a guest spot on Family as Buddy's artistic friend with a gypsy in her soul. *sigh......beautiful women of my youth.
Those Battles were so great, it was awesome to see the Actors being real and having to be physical. Kristy was truly an athlete. I got Overalls because of her and wore them for years. Time for a new pair!
@@eric21200 There was a spinoff called Nurses that seemed like a natural fit. There were a few crossover episodes, but I felt it should have been about her.
seems like Richard Mulligan gets really annoyed when fellow actors screw up their lines. Love Dinah Manoff and Kristy M, Loved Soap too when Richard and Dinah were on it together
He just seems really serious about acting, but he also almost seems a bit superior. It’s a shame, and the suggestive look he gave her when he said he loved her was awkward.
Topsx4 When he got a line wrong you notice how David Leisure half-jokingly pointed out what a big deal it was?? Clearly, Mulligan rarely flubbed a line and had little patience for those who did!!
Some actors stay in character (or attempt to lol) even when they flub the lines. He just seems like an old pro and came across as mildly amused to me. Plus the way the cast treated him was super affectionately, and if he were a jerk, I don’t think that would be the case.
I was looking for this, I felt the same way. I even googled if he was hard to work with. He seems to get bent out of shape pretty often. Still love watching him act, though!
I would have loved to have been in the audience for any of those episodes. I gotta say, though... I could never have been a director... like wrangling kittens... lol
Probably one of the most funniest spinoffs in history... Cast was well rounded and equally funny! Kristy was 🔥 AF, David was the ultimate leech, Richard never lost a step from Soap...
@@unclebobunclebob The original spinoff episode featured Rita Moreno as a doctor's wife. The doctor was still alive, but he was always busy, and her daughter had just gone to college, so she was experiencing Empty Nest Syndrome. (Hence the title of the GG episode and the spinoff). David Leisure is the only one from the episode to make it to the show, but his character was changed slightly. They changed the whole premise of the show from "wife dealing with empty house" to "widower dealing with his grown children who never seemed to leave, taking away the Empty Nest". Which was actually funnier.
Classic TV & More Taxi is outta sight. Do you happen to have Censored Bloopers #3? It has Chad Everett Medical Center bloopers on it. Maybe Quincy bloopers even as well. Chad Everett is an icon.
Butch Cassidy Channel, if you are referring to Dick Clark's TV Censored Bloopers #3, no, I do not. I do have lots of bloopers from many shows over several decades. They are not catalogued, so I don't have a definitive list of what I have. I do plan to upload all of this material over the next several months. Have a good holiday!
All right. May I suggest a few things. How about " Foul-ups bleeps and blunders". Do you have many of those in stock? So far the only one on YT is the FBB with William Shatner as a guest. I am sure many many would love FBB repeated. You are free to do what you want of course but if I were you I would not from here on waste time with Seinfeld bloopers. Those have been repeated to no end by others. Or start with Friends. I recommend bloopers from the 1960s to the end of the 1980's. Thanks
This breaks my heart: Dinah Manoff has 3 kids, son Dashiell and twin boys. Sadly Dashiell died January 7, 2017 while being a passenger in a car accident on the way back to school at Washington State University.
I sure love this show it was like a line up with the Golden Girls and empty nest on Saturday night it was a perfect line-up they don't make lineups like this with shows that anymore all you see is reality shows like stupid Big Brothers they sure don't make shows like these anymore and I wish it would bring him back I wish they would bring it back with the lineup of The Golden Girls on the Hallmark Channel they'll be really nice time to change it up from Frasier to put empty nest maybe that would be nice
Dinah Manoff made being needy look so good! What a great actress she is. Richard Mulligan’s acting is so natural. No wonder Park Overall was such a great actress. He made her look good. Richard got such a rise out of her! The chemistry of the cast was wonderful! Dinah and Richard worked together on Soap. Dinah and Kristy worked together on Family. One of my favorite shows ever!
Danny thomas born 1-6-12, died exactly 1 month after he turned 79 2-6-1991, Richard Mulligan was born 11-13-1932, he died 9-26-2000 at the age 67 2 months before he turned 68,
As a young man in my late teens and early twenties when this was on,I was always aware that Christy mcnichol only wore a bra about every third appearance!!!! Dinah was hot as hell as well! She,dinah,was actually my favorite!
Jesus Christ, I wish Empty Nest got more recognition. Even the outtakes are gold

ohh wow.. dreyfuss is so sweet.. can you say more about dreyfuss and cast?
That’s awesome, thank you for sharing
Awesome! Love to hear happy stories!
Were you on Donahue with Dreyfuss/Bear and the cast? I think I just watched it.
It is so wonderful to see how much fun they had on set and how much they cared for each other! And to see the greats come on as guest stars... Amazing.
I LOVED this show!! Richard Mulligan had me at Soap! One of the funniest men God ever created. I sure do miss him.
He was a very talented actor.
My husband used to watch this. The one daughter turned into her mom Lee Grant with that wig.
I'm wondering if you have seen the 1984 movie The Heavenly kid. That actor is in it.
@Bob Jones I'm sorry I replied to the wrong comment, I was referring to the dad.🙄
Heavenly kid 💙 1984-5 ypur actor is in it.
I wish there were more of these, I love these people 😀 one of my most favorite programs.
It’s great seeing two great actors like Danny Thomas & Richard Mulligan laughing and doing improv on the set together. Priceless.
Sadly, Danny Thomas passed four days after the episode aired.
Awww…Danny Thomas. Those bits are gems.
I love seeing Danny Thomas!
Because of Danny Thomas and his vow, my son will be 36 at the end of this year.
@@AmberWool -Very cool. I'm glad to hear that!😁
Always been a fan of Kristy McNichols. Ever since she was in Family.
she could have had jodie foster career.
Stu Mack absolutely agree!!
I forgot she was in this.
Have you seen "The Pirate Movie"? She is pretty good in that.
Loved that show. Had a mad crush on her❤️

So glad I watched this. Been so down in the dumps in 2020. This really gave me a good laugh, and then more good laughs!!

Totally agree! Empty Nest should be on DVD! Such a great show!!!
Yes. Empty Nest should be released in its entirety on DVD or streaming
What a great show!! Wish it was available on dvd..
I promise I'm only 20 seconds in and I'm SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!! So glad I found this..OK let me go back and watch now lol
Hey I love your take on the Golden Girls theme song!
I worked on this one, VERY fond memories!
What a pure joy to be able to see this. Thank you so much. The cast of this show is both enduring and adorable.
This was one of the best shows on tv. Good clean humor and fun. No matter how many times I see the same episode I still laugh and the cast was THE BEST, absolutely love all of them !
Such a great show!!! They were great when they crossed over with The Golden Girls!!!
Luv to see golden girls uncensored too. :)

Thank you for posting this. I have missed seeing Empty Nest. Why this fabulous show is not on DVD, I will NEVER know!
or Cozi tv.
I still can’t understand why it’s not available to stream yet. That and Nurses. I loved Nurses too!!!
@@scottjhnsn I don't either. You're right, they could stream them.
i’ve never watched this show but now i’m hooked and now have a quest!!!
ABSOLUTELY NJOYD IT!
1 of the BEST '80s sitcoms.Luv how Gr8 they worked 2gether.
Wish 'em cont'd Happiness, Health & Success!
B'dos, W.Indies
Absolutely loved that show! 😆 Wish episodes where just freely floating about around here, I’ll keep looking....I got the time now🤷♀️🖖✌️🇨🇦
God I loved this show !! Everyone on it was great ! I wish they'd bring it back in reruns !
Great show. A favorite. A great producing team. Susan Harris, Tony Thomas (Danny's son) and Paul Junger Witt. (R.I.P.). I met Kristy Mcnichol at an autograph convention once.

LOL @ “We don’t have another apple.” 14:20
I love these outtakes.
I used to watch this show religiously in the early 90s wow what reminisces lol.
I LOVE Park Overall! Soooo good to see her again.
She is special.
Had a huge crush on Richard Mulligan. Charming, hilarious actor
odd face.
When I was little I would say I was going to marry someone like him. I ended up with the opposite tho.
These are great. I never knew that Dinah was the daughter of Lee Grant. Learn something new every day!
i did not know that either. I see it though, and i crushed on both.
@@scottstewart5784 I didn't realize that either. But now that I see Diana she does look like her mother

What breed is Dreyfus?
@@aaroncohenour559 half golden retriever and st. Bernard
This is priceless!
I'm just seeing this..... Wow........Hilarious and uncensored..... Thanks for uploading......
I miss this show. It was so good. I still remember when they did the episode where the daughter who is the police officer was shot.
Barbra
All of the women on the show we're extremely beautiful. And Richard Mulligan was absolutely one of the funniest men on television back then.
I love That show so Thank you for this 🥰🥰🤣🤣
I'm glad you enjoyed.
This is just the funniest thing I've ever seen it was so hilarious to hear Carol curse on the screen I was laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes
LOL This mans out here shading the DOG for messing up a cue!
The funniest blooper is at 12:27 when Kristy cracks up in paint class...lol.
Put this back on TV!
It was on the Laff TV channel but they removed it. I miss it.
@@jenniferhansen3622 never heard of that 1.
It was also on hallmark channel several years ago. I would watch I Love Lucy , golden girls and empty nest every morning back to back
Great show.
Season 3 episode 16. The Mentor. This is the last appearance by Danny Thomas while he was alive. 22:55
He died four days after the episode aired.
I was so in love with Kristy McNichol at the time this show was on T.V.
it broke my heart when she gave up on the entertainment industry.
What a wonderful person she was and still is. I hope she found the happiness she was looking for.
she was and still is so attractive.
Richard Mulligan was so funny! his sudden death was tragic.
and sorry to hear about Dinah Manoffs'' son dying so soon
You DO know she's gay.
@@ronniekueffner331 and what has that got to do with anything?
I adore Kristy and her overalls. I dont care who she wants to love or sleep with, that's irrelevant.
@@lorimiller4301 I agree just a fan , not a judge
@@lordfaladar6261 🙂👍💜
This should be on DVD
Barbara: We don’t have another apple. 🤣😁😂
I’ve watched the part (14:19-23) so many times. Kristy McNichol’s so cute and funny ☺️❤️ Love this show.
20 seconds in, and all I can think about is how much I miss big "80's" hair. 😥
Half a can of white rain, and stack it to Jesus!
Back then a can of hair mousse lasted me less than a week. 👍
Aqua net!! 😆
From BURT CAMPBELL to HARRY WESTON.. RICHARD MULLIGAN will always be one of my favorite character actors.....may he Rest In Peace.
I liked this show alot when Barbra character was on.
I LOVE Kristy McNichol!!!! She is so stinking gorgeous and always has been. Dinah Manoff is super hot to me too! I loved her when she did a guest spot on Family as Buddy's artistic friend with a gypsy in her soul. *sigh......beautiful women of my youth.
Dinah was great in Grease too
Kristy was cute.
I love this show
I loved this show!
2023 and this show is still not out on dvd
Ah, Kristy. I'll always remember you smoking the other older celebs at Battle of the Network Stars. Where did the time go?
She did an interview in Teen Beat magazine. She said her dream car was the Suburu Brat pick up. Remember those?
@@daviddoyle543 jodi foster drives a "pick up" too.
@@stumack9755 I think it's required. If you know what I mean....

Kristy was truly an athlete. I got Overalls because of her and wore them for years. Time for a new pair!
"Judgement At Nuremberg On Ice"-LMAO...! 😂⛸⛸👨⚖
Very underrated show!!
Thanks for reminding me of my forever crush on Dinah Manoff.
I gotta pull out my Empty Nest tapes!!
Man I loved Park Overall. She was so cute!
She is as smart and nice as she is pretty.
At 22:20,...... the great DANNY THOMAS!!..R.I.P
I didn’t make the connection that Tony Thomas (producer of this and the parent show, Golden Girls) was his son!
I loved Empty Nest!
Park Overall was hilarious!
its amazing how pissed off Harry looks when some one makes a mistake...but in the episode he comes across as such a nice guy........
Laverne was the best part of this show. I laughed so hard my side hurt.
She should have had a huge career.
I always loved it when Laverne Todd would quit, and then almost immediately after saying that she would say alright I'll stay
I think a spinoff with Laverne would have been great
@@eric21200 There was a spinoff called Nurses that seemed like a natural fit. There were a few crossover episodes, but I felt it should have been about her.

Kristy grew up so nicely. Love that VIC-20 at 27:56 in the background! :D
I would have loved to have been in the audience for any of those episodes.
I gotta say, though... I could never have been a director... like wrangling kittens... lol
I'd rather wrangle the Kitties!
It's criminal that this show isn't on DVD or Streaming!
Dinah: “THERE’S THE CRICKET, I SWEAR TO GOD!” 😂
God rest Richard Mulligan and Danny Thomas...and did you folks know Dinah Manoff, the actress who plays Carol is actress Lee Grant's daughter?
Woah! How did you get these? SO fun to watch! Thank you!
whatever happened to Park Overall? She was so funny.
She's alive and well and is a political activist.

Dinah Manoff, who played Carol, played Marty Maraschino in the film version of Grease. And was also on Soap.
Do you have any outtakes from seasons 1 and 2?
It seems Empty Nest was a continuous gag reel .lol
that was great - can we expect more?
Yes. Gomer Pyle USMC outtakes will post in a few minutes. Coming over the next few weeks, Taxi and Seinfeld outtakes.

And yet another episode of “How Did This End Up In My Recommends?”
Not complaining, just really random.
Agreed!!
Yeah me too, but I am glad it did though. I wished I watched this show when it was on.
8:50 "Are we going down on Dinah" hahahahaha, not what he meant, but hilarious anyway.
“He’s in the middle of a booster shot. He’ll be out in just a sex.”
Something on your mind, Park? lol
This show was great
Why isn’t this show on DVD?? It’s sad that it’s not. These outtakes would make some great extras 👍
This breaks my heart: Dinah Manoff has 3 kids, son Dashiell and twin boys. Sadly Dashiell died January 7, 2017 while being a passenger in a car accident on the way back to school at Washington State University.
that is so sad.
I didn't know about that. That is sad. So tragic, keeping her and her family in prayer.
That's really sad
Harry : Richard was 56 in 1988, and was 63 when it finished in 1995, 5 years after in 2000 he passed.
