the show's theme song was "life goes on", written by john bettis and george tipton and performed by billy vera. for the first three seasons, the song was presented in a slower, more melancholy yet comical arrangement. the original opening titles sequence showed harry weston taking dreyfuss for a walk around town, with still images of the other regular cast members shown as they were credited.

capitalizing on the popularity of "the golden girls", creator susan harris decided to develop a spin-off, centering on the empty nest syndrome. the initial pilot was aired as the 1987 "golden girls" episode "empty nests" and starred paul dooley and rita moreno as george and renee corliss, a married couple living next to the "golden girls" characters, who face empty nest syndrome after their teenage daughter moves out. when that idea was not well received, harris retooled the series as a vehicle for richard mulligan, and the following year "empty nest" debuted, starring mulligan as pediatrician harry weston, a widower whose two adult daughters moved back home. characters from both shows made occasional crossover guest appearances on the other show, with the four girls guesting on "empty nest" and mulligan, dinah manoff, kristy mcnichol, david leisure, and park overall appearing on "the golden girls" in their "empty nest" roles. after the end of "the golden palace", getty joined the cast of "empty nest", making frequent appearances as sophia in the show's final two seasons.
