Hosts discuss the absurdity of a comedic scene from a classic show (Part 3)

I'm done. I'm never gonna find a man. It's never gonna happen for me. I'm 35. Of course, she was like, not that 35. Like, it's over for me. And she runs over to the microwave, punches in, like, five minutes, starts it, and then just throws herself in front of it. Oh, I. I remember this. I remember I cried laughing. I was like, that's the funniest thing I've ever seen. To take yourself out by microwave radiation. Microwave radiation. Well, at that point, too, that was a very dangerous thing to do. I wasn't allowed to stand in front of you. No, you couldn't. It was like, oh, my God. Like, get away from it. Now, let me ask you this. Or let me tell you this. I did look it up. This is even crazier. Yes. So Empty Nest was a backdoor pilot off of the Golden Girls, but originally it was supposed to be Paul Dooley and Rita Moreno as George and Renee Corliss. And they were the neighbors of the Golden Girls dealing with an empty nest syndrome. But then they're like, ah, get rid of them. We're going to make it about this pediatrician who's recently widowed, and he lives down the block from them. But he was never officially in the show. Golden Girls. Thank you. You said spin off of Golden Girls. And I was like, I don't think so. I don't think that he was on it. They. They. They made crossover appearances on both, but they were. Because they lived down the block. Now, here's an interesting fact. Estelle Getty joined Empty Nest after Golden Girls ended and the golden palace concluded. Yeah. So she jumped in. And you know how many seasons Empty Nest ran for? I was gonna say 3. 7. I mean, this is the other thing, too. It's like seven years. Cause when I just saw that, when I said Estelle Getty jumped in at the end. So this show started. Like, this show is, I think, a backdoor pilot in year two of Golden Girls, which then went on past the Golden Girls finishing and their spin off of Golden Girls concluding. Wow. I mean, I do remember a lot of it. Like, I do have this. Like, I remember watching Richard Mulligan, and he was so perfect. Now, here's a fun fact. My father grew up in Pelham Bay.
