  >I believe some TV shows (SNL IIRC) are still being made with people working remotely. I think you're saying the current COVID is making producers and writers adapt to the lockdown situation because they have to, and therefore they have to work remotely. Yes, I understand that. I think once the coronavirus scare is behind us, those writers will willingly go back to being in the same physical room to hash out the dialogue for a show. If you look at the "writers room" from the SNL documentary[0], you wonder why all those writers and stars are in the same room when they could just use videoconferencing for the "table read". They're all younger generation with money so using technology such as laptops with webcams probably isn't the barrier. I think it's because most writers want to be in the writers room and videoconferencing is still not a good enough substitute for a physical presence. That's why they suffer the miserable Los Angeles traffic to show up in that room.
