With all of these series being produced at home, we never expected Saturday Night Live to try it, but they will tonight. (Vulture)
A Friends reunion was supposed to be a major feature of the HBO Max launch, but now that it can't be produced right now, it looks like it'll come a little later. (Variety)
TV production is shutdown because of coronavirus, of course, but there is also a writer's strike looming and it could be damaging to the linear TV industry. (Deadline)
The Grey's Anatomy season finale didn't get to have the kind of bang it would normally have. (Deadline)
MeTV is featuring a month of Mayberry next month. (SitcomsOnline)
