Subj : flood stuff was: Vacation To : Nancy Backus From : Barry Martin Date : Tue Aug 25 2020 08:49:00 Hi Nancy! BM>>> Yes -- and for game shows makes sense to do several shows in one day BM>>> while the crew is there, studio set up, etc. Current Jeopardy! is BM>>> showing reruns of how the more winning contestants got to where their BM>>> final score was obtained. Had read where one of the considerations BM>>> was taping the show without an audience. With Jeopardy! the TV viewer BM>>> is usually unaware there even is an audience (though sometimes they BM>>> laugh or shown), I'm thinking at least let the family and friends of BM>>> the contestants be there, spread out. NB>>> Would seem reasonable to me... or at least some group of those... BM>> To me also. Probably some logistical issues and so easier to have no BM>> audience at all, or they're just waiting things out until return to a BM>> version of normal again. NB>> If they're considered a non-essential business, it would take longer NB>> to get going again, too.... BM> True, though the way things are going in general audiences are going BM> to be verboten for some time. NB> Quite likely... We're wondering how the shows themselves are going to be done: a lot of closeness normally. The fall season for the networks is going to be interesting: maybe a lot of reruns with new shows that didn't make the cut in other years. Might be time to get caught uo on those movies we have intended to watch! BM> And of course there's the problem with BM> the number of various people required to create a show: not only the BM> actors and their circles of family and friends but the hair stylists, BM> makeup artists, wardrobe designers and their interaction with the BM> actors, so add their circles of family and friends to the equation. BM> Now add in the production crew.... NB> But all that could be done with distancing, to a large extent.... If they can do robotic surgery they can do robotic hair and makeup! ¯ BarryMartin3@ ® ¯ @MyMetronet.NET ® ....
