Four women live together while overcoming challenges of everyday life. Each character has their own personality and backgrounds which attributes to their friendship. Dorothy Zbornak, played by Bea Arthur exudes bitterness at times, but she can still be loving, even if she is over fifty and living with her mother. Dorothy's mother, Sophia, played by Estelle Getty, tells stories of her past. These stories have some truth, the rest is made up with inappropriate jokes that will have tears in your eyes. Blanch Devereaux, played by Rue McClanahan, has the attitude of a southern belle, is narcissistic, and loves to talk about herself to anyone who will listen. Last but not least, Rose Nyland, played by Betty White, loves to tell stories about her hometown, St. Olaf, which often leads to hilarious criticism by the rest of the women.
