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.

Rose competes for St. Olaf's Woman of the Year honors, with a little help of Blanche and Dorothy.

Dorothy feels sympathy for Stan when he tells her he's going to have open-heart surgery; however, that sympathy fades when she learns of his many infidelities while they were married.

Sophia cries foul after being hit with a fly ball at the stadium; Stan tries to sue the ballpark.

The roommates swoon over a TV actor Patrick Vaughn who is appearing at their community theater.
