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.

While Dorothy is laid off from teaching, she finds work at the same museum where Blanche goes to work.

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.
