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 pregnant daughter, Rebecca, pales at the thought of childbirth.

Rose, who was adopted, meets her biological father while Sophia is in the hospital.

Blanche becomes the prime suspect when the roommates go on a murder mystery weekend.

While on a wheelchair, Sophia manipulates a nurse; Blanche is a stage grandmother.
