TV show description:
This Golden Girls spin-off revolves around pediatrician Dr. Harry Weston (Richard Mulligan) whose life is turned upside down when his wife dies and two of his adult daughters – neurotic Carol (Dinah Manoff) and police officer Barbara (Kristy McNichol) – move back into his Miami home.

Womanizing neighbor Charlie Dietz (David Leisure), wise-cracking nurse Laverne Higby Todd Kane (Park Overall), and large family dog Dreyfuss also help to keep Harry’s life interesting. Later in the series, Sophia Petrillo (Estelle Getty) stops by to add to the confusion.
