Some shows can be produced without an audience, some can't, some require close contact among actors and staff. I am not sure how far ahead they are produced, but think that we will have to watch a lot of reruns in the future.
 
I still have a ****load of Better Call Saul left and little time to watch, so I'm probably good on that front. As for the rest, if you're bored, I can recommend some great podcasts that will take you from now until like November.

I am just curious how they will deal with the situation. Audiences can be avoided, but many shows require close contact, hugging, kissing

Same way that adult films survived AIDS and other STDs, I'd guess. Money and constant testing.

But that would take test kits from the rest of us.
 


Steven Cobert is doing the intro to his show from home.


The radio said that Hollywood is practically shut down. It will be like the writer's strike a while back.

All will be required to sacrifice, read a book!

Guys like Trebek have to be esp careful. I love that show.
 
I thought it was interesting that the players on Australia (?) Big Brother were going to be told live about this because they're completely cut off from the real world while playing. So imagine them going in maybe without any or barely any thoughts about a virus and to find out now it's had this huge impact. That would have to be surreal.

We've been watching PBS Passport. Binging on Father Brown, Doc Martin and, our favorite, Unforgotten.

I donated about 100 books to my local library's used book sale in November. I support our library but now feel uneasy about borrowing books now. I have a Kindle but still love the feel of a book in my hands. So, I'm re-reading my Pat Conroy's and then Lee Smith.
