Four mature women live together in Miami and experience the joys and angst of their golden years; strong-willed Dorothy, spacey Rose, lusty Southern belle Blanche and matriarch Sophia, Dorothy's mom, occasionally clash but are there for one another in the end; after all, when the show's theme song is titled "Thank You for Being a Friend," the ladies have to remain friendly with one another.

The ladies must take the stage in the school play when Dorothy's first-graders come down with the measles.

Blanche's unmarried daughter announces her desire to have a baby.

Rose has to go and get a job when she loses her late husband's pension, where she is confronted for the first time by ageism.

An old photo shows Blanche with Charlie; Sophia has a hearing test.
