Full Moon Over Miami is a one-off programming block of a three-way, two-hour crossover event on NBC which involved three television sitcoms created by Susan Harris: The Golden Girls, Empty Nest and Nurses.
The event depicts a fictional full moon on Leap Day storming into the storylines of the three series set in Miami, Florida.
The event begins on The Golden Girls one-hour episode "A Midwinter Night's Dream" (season 7, episodes 20 and 21) as a full moon on Leap Day falls upon the household which prompts Blanche to host a men-only Moonlight Madness Party and strange happenings abound: all the men are attracted to Dorothy while none are attracted to Blanche; Rose proposes to Miles after winning a free honeymoon to Paris and Sophia has fun with a witch's hex cast on Dorothy and goes through all the necessary steps to try and release her from it.
The full moon and festivities prompt other strange happenings: Dorothy and Miles find themselves sharing a passionate kiss, and Blanche's necklace disappears while she necks with a British man named Derek.
The event ends on the Nurses episode "Moon Over Miami" (season 1, episode 20) as Charlie Dietz (from Empty Nest) and Blanche Devereaux (from The Golden Girls), both affected by the full moon, turn up at the hospital: Blanche seeks Dr. Riskin's advice about a tonic for her sexual dry spell and a desperate Sandy considers dating Charlie.
