Four not-so-old seniors have moved in together in a Florida home. They share the house, their dreams, and a whole lot of cheesecake. Dorothy's main goal is to find a companion she can relate to, while her mother, Sophia loves to tell "Picture this" type of stories. Rose is a little corny, but lovable never-the-less, and Blanche spends her time courting every man she can lay her hands on. All these fiesty seniors have either been divorced or widowed in the past and are having fun living life in the Sunshine State.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Still Golden submitted by amkharper2644 on July 25, 2019, 11:02pm I watched this show as a child....why? I have not idea...totally inappropriate. It still cracks me up!
If you enjoy shoulder pads, one-liners, and classic sitcoms you should watch.

Aging Well Ages Well submitted by Meginator on June 23, 2021, 5:38pm Despite a few cringeworthy moments and some outdated cultural references, this show is about as funny as when it came out in the mid-80s. The central quartet has excellent chemistry both when they bicker and when they come together in mutual support, and each of the main actresses has a fantastic (and unique) comedic style that makes their characters feel like real people. The show isn’t afraid to tackle tough topics and leans into the fact that its protagonists are older and have different concerns than the typical twentysomething sitcom stars. This episodic sitcom is great for a marathon and really does hold up well given its age.

They don’t make shows like this anymore submitted by amandasaurus on June 19, 2022, 1:06am The cast is amazing-the chemistry, the shenanigan, the outfits… somehow wholesome and totally inappropriate at the same time?

Amazing submitted by kmp009 on July 19, 2023, 6:00pm Amazing, hilarious, and so much spunk! I go back to this again and again
