“Blanche you idiot! You got egg upon my snood! He was gonna wear that today, now he has to select another snood!” This week on THE SCRIPT, our all woman panel Kara, Kristina, and Melissa assign David a period joke safeword and launch into a no-holds barred analysis of the new Comedy Central series “Another Period."

Is there such a thing as ‘women’s issues comedy’? What are the challenges and opportunities when writing an ensemble show vs. a traditional five person core cast comedy?
