MSNBC guest complains more sitcoms don't include COVID-19 in plotlines, have 'wished' pandemic away
Fox News
The New York Times's James Poniewozik wishes more TV shows would include COVID-19 in their plot lines.
"And just like that … Covid is over. At least it is in this show’s Manhattan, as well as in a cohort of other series that try, wishfully, to press the epidemiological fast-forward button," Poniewozik wrote in his Friday piece.
He referenced several other shows that he suggested "wished" away the pandemic, such as "This Is Us." The hit NBC drama incorporated the pandemic in its fifth season, but appeared to abandon it in last week's season six premiere. Last year's pilot for NBC's "Mr. Mayor," Poniewozik added, "yada-yadas the pandemic away."
