This is a very inspiring show, especially if you are an older woman and your husband decides to divorce you. I can absolutely say that it has helped me get through a very dark time by letting me believe that there is a happy life after divorce. The main characters, played by Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin are phenomenal actors. It is SO refreshing to see them tackle issues that we face every day as older women. It gives me courage to stand up for myself, which I haven't done in a long time. There are so few shows that can make you laugh that hard and yet inspire you to go out in the world and make a difference. In my job working with under privileged children, I need all the inspiration I can get. To these wonderful women who I laugh with, cry with, and who give me hope for happier days, I say THANK YOU! I was ready to give up TV completely for the lack of shows that have any substance and you girls have reminded me what television was designed for.
