Empty Nest TV. Celebrating 20 years of honoring Empty Nest! Return to the Nest with David Leisure. David Leisure played skirt-chasing neighbor Charley Dietz. David talks candidly (and hilariously!) about surviving the show’s original pilot, what it was really like working with his costars, and the appropriate attire for dining at Sizzler.
The Corlisses also had an annoying neighbor played by David Leisure (although in this version his character was named Oliver). Rita Moreno later criticized the Empty Nest pilot, calling it a "very, very bad show."
