- Dawson Casting: The four main cast members were in their mid to late 70s when the show started, even though the characters themselves are all supposed to be 70.
- Irony as She Is Cast:
- Lily Tomlin (Frankie) has been an out lesbian in a relationship with the same woman for almost 50 years.
- Grace frequently sneers at Frankie's left wing activism. Jane Fonda has been arrested 3 times for her own political activism... in 2019 alone.
- Playing Against Type: Sam Waterston is famous for take charge, very aggressive characters in shows like Law & Order and The Newsroom, so seeing him play the meek, gentle and kinda goofy Sol is sorta surprising.
- Production Posse:
- The show shares a creator (Marta Kauffman) with Friends and Lisa Kudrow turns up in season four as Grace's manicurist.
- Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin and Rita Moreno would later star together in 80 for Brady, as well as having some common staff working on them.
