I was watching Curb Your Enthusiasm last night and if they do a social distancing episode some time in the future (it won’t be the first), it’s going to be amazing. “That’s only 5 1/2 feet!” “Don’t tell me how big it is. I know six feet.” “Fuck you!” “No, fuck you!” and then at the end some ironic mishap occurs where the difference of just a few inches off of six matters. ---

Actually, [Prickly City](https://www.gocomics.com/pricklycity/2020/03/23) had it beat by a week. Which ironically enough, is the same strip I referenced above as being so out-of-date that it was taking for granted that Sanders would be the Democratic nominee. ---

The CBS courtroom drama _All Rise_ is going to produce an episode showing the characters trying to conduct a trial during the pandemic. It sounds like an interesting experiment, even though most of the shows that have tried to do anything recently have been of the “kinda not great if there weren’t a pandemic” variety, and I don’t know if I should expect much better here. I guess we’ll see soon enough. ---

Not a scripted show, but **Mrs. FtG** had on yesterday an new episode of the cooking show \*The Pioneer Woman \*where the kids do the camera work, etc. Lots of tops of heads lopped off, wobbling around, bad angles, etc. She mentioned the times we are in, etc. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/first-scripted-shows-to-address-the-situation/849590.md?page=1)
