I love this TV show, I haven’t watched any current seasons< honestly I didn’t know the show was still going (geez 33 seasons what the heck!?), but it sucks that they have to suspend production. Not surprised that coronavirus is suspending the show (it is shutting down a lot of things now). I would love to see how this virus is affecting different industries money wise. Like companies that make masks, and hand sanitizer companies must be making BANK, but what about the entertainment industry and travel industry. I think it would be really interesting to read research about how viruses like this affect the entertainment industry on a grand scale (but that reattach will come out after the virus, not during so we will have to wait and see). I think it is smart that CBS suspended production because of travel (now I’m thinking about films and television that film all over the world and how the virus is affecting that production process) Wow who would have thought that a deadly virus that spreads across the globe would affect our TV shows (that is sarcasm)
