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.

Dorothy does not pay heed to Sophia's advice about the rekindled romance with Stan.

Sophia wants to join a convent, but finds the rules too strict; Blanche is in an accident.

Before waking from surgery, Rose dreams that she, Blanche and Dorothy are 100 years in the future.

Blanche pairs Dorothy with her visiting uncle (Leslie Nielsen), but later regrets her matchmaking.
