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.
Blanche's love life is the basis for her sister's romantic novel.
Blanche fails to seduce her date and is heartbroken; Dorothy goes bananas over a "Beatlemania" cast member.
Dorothy sees an old flame; Blanche and Sophia fall prey to con artists.
Dorothy dreams she is a contestant on "Jeopardy!" but the game is fixed in favor of neighbor Charlie Dietz.
