The TVI Take
Emmy winner for Outstanding Comedy (1986). Four older women share a Miami home.
Low-moderate cognitive demands but surprisingly sharp writing on aging, sexuality, friendship, and social issues. Some educational value from its treatment of topics TV rarely addressed — ageism, AIDS, homelessness, addiction. Proof that comedy about older women could be culturally dominant.
