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.

A young man claims to be the illegitimate son of Blanche's late husband.

Rose must test for AIDS following the revelation that she may have received a tainted transfusion.

Rose's childhood love reappears and vies with Miles for her attention.

Blanche's love life is the basis for her sister's romantic novel.
