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.

Miles feels he is competing with Rose's late husband; Blanche is mistreated by an old flame.

Dorothy hocks an expensive ring to pay off the debt she and her ex-husband owe to the Internal Revenue Service.

Blanche's brother Clayton arrives from Atlanta with his boyfriend, Doug; Blanche claims to have accepted Clay's sexual orientation, but actually witnessing his lifestyle throws her a curve.

Dorothy, Rose and Blanche seek professional help when living with one another becomes unbearable.
