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.

Long ago antics by Sophia come to light when Dorothy's high-school prom date appears.

Hoping for a reconciliation, Stan buys a date with Dorothy at a charity auction.

Dorothy and Blanche contrive an answer to Rose's personal ad.

Sophia takes action when a depressed, gun-toting Santa Claus threatens to ruin Christmas for her and her housemates.
