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.

Sophia throws herself into her job as recreational director at a retirement home.

Rose auditions for a TV reporter job; Blanche seeks a commitment from a lukewarm beau.

Blanche's professor tells her that she can pass her course easily, in return for unsavory favors.

Blanche, Dorothy and Rose vie for a charity award while fighting the flu.
