Great Episode....

The show was off the air long after I hatched.

I was watching this episode with a 3 friends last night. One of my friends dad has the DVD's. We saw 3 episodes last night. This was the last one.

I was wondering where the show was going. At Dr. Weston's 3rd patient interaction, as the patients have all been males, from newborn and getting older, I had an epiphany. I whispered to my friend, who's dad owns the DVD's, "Is this the same person growing up?" She smiled at me. At that point I could just sit back and enjoy the rest of this episode.

Super highly recommended. For me, this was the standout episode of Season 1. I look forward to Season 2 over the next few weeks.

It took me far too long to catch on with what was going on in this episode, but it was so lovely when I finally did. Great concept and a moving episode.

Best Empty Nest Episode
radmanart30 May 2021
Of course my wife and I love Empty Nest. We were regular watchers of the Golden Girls in California when we lived near the coast from Southern Cali to Central Cali ; between the years 1986 to 1993. Then my wife joined the army; and The US Army moved us to Texas where we have been stranded (for better or for worse), till this day. Empty Next was a offshoot of Golden Girls and was the thing to watch; if you likes Golden Girls, like my wife and I did. We used to watch the episodes of both shows; as they came out, almost every week.

This is by far the "Best Empty Nest Episode" ever. It is very touching to see the different stages of life of a American boy; as he smash in the face all his life with the garbage thrown at him by the rest of the world. It reminds me of me, growing up.

Empty Nest (A Life in the Day) is worth watching for the likes of Mathew Perry (from the show Friends) and Stephen Hartley Dorff Jr (from the movie Blade).

The series Empty Nest is worth your respect and attention for the likes of legends like Richard Mulligan, and the young lady I loved growing up; who had a nervous breakdown during the series: Kristy McNichol. Kristy McNichol is the same age as my sister and looks like my memories of her. I have studied the last episodes she was in and could see how she was not doing well. It upsets me to see her like that, but she seems to be doing very well these days. The creator of Empty Nest; Susan Harris is a one of a kind, feel good, writer, genius.

A Life In 25 Minutes

This episode would easily be in my top three favorites of the show. A really neat concept that is executed beautifully.

Dr. Weston is remembering the life of a single patient after his last visit to the office. I admit it. It took me a while to catch on to what was going on at Dr. Weston's hectic "day" at work.

The entire episode takes place in Dr. Weston's office. The only regular cast you see are Dr. Weston and Laverne. There is no b-plot in this show.

It's interesting to see a slightly younger Matthew Perry in this episode as one of the "patients".

If you haven't seen Empty Nest yet, I recommend starting with a different episode to see the rest of the cast. ...and of course their characters.

Highly recommended!
