The Hollywood Reporter recently hosted a roundtable of six comedy showrunners, and while the discussion featured many highlights, a delightfully candid comment from “Grace and Frankie” co-creator Marta Kauffman stuck out. The Netflix comedy stars Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda.

The moderator asked Kauffman, “What did you want to explore that had not previously been explored on television?” Her response was priceless:“Dry vaginas.” Kauffman explained, “Truthfully, there was nothing on for women above a certain age. What shows center on four people over 70? The baby boomers, especially women, are the largest percentage of the population right now, and there was nothing for them.” (Note: According to the Pew Research Center, “Millennials have surpassed Baby Boomers as the nation’s largest living generation.”)

The series, which was renewed for a third season prior to Season 2 being released, is clearly serving an under-served market. Kauffman asked, “Where are the women going through things that are real, and what is it to be that age and be alone?” Answering those questions — or at least exploring them — became the goal of “Grace and Frankie.” “[W]e couldn’t have done it anywhere else — certainly not a couple of years ago,” the “Friends” co-creator said.

In an interview with Women and Hollywood Fonda claimed that “[a]ll the good writing is going to TV.” She elaborated, “Movies are a medium for directors; TV is a medium for writers. You follow the good writing and it’s a new thing. I never imagined I’d be doing a show in my 70’s, much less with Lily Tomlin.”

Tomlin received an Emmy and Golden Globe nomination for her role in “Grace and Frankie,” and the series has been nominated for a GLAAD Media Award. Season 2 is available to stream now.

Head over to The Hollywood Reporter to catch more of the roundtable. The impressive roster included Nahnatchka Khan (“Fresh Off the Boat”), Aline Brosh McKenna (“Crazy Ex-Girlfriend”), and others.
