“#Mom: Here’s Why the CBS Sitcom is Avoiding COVID-19<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

With TV shows returning to the air and filming with strict safety measures in place, many of them are tackling the pandemic that delayed them in the first place.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This Is Us and The Good Doctor recently returned with fresh episodes, and, yes, they included COVID-19.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When Mom Season 8 premieres tonight, it will be without Anna Faris and COVOD-19.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Indeed, we’ve known for weeks that Faris would not be a part of the new series<\/a>, but we didn’t know whether the pandemic would bea featured.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite executive producers of Mom rallying to weigh up the pros and cons of including COVID-19, Gemma Baker decided that it was for the best to avoid storylines related to the virus.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The question of whether or not to deal with COVID is something that we grapp<\/a>led with quite a bit,” Baker told Give Me My Remote.<\/p>\n

“However, because our show has never before reflected current events in our storytelling, we ultimately decided not to address it.”<\/p>\n

“For us, it feels like we made the right decision and hopefully our audience will enjoy a little escape when they watch our show.<\/p>\n

Mom has never been a show to avoid sensitive topics, but as a sitcom, it’s probably a good idea to leave COVID-19 out of the narrative.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As Baker said, the series has largely avoided current events, so it may mess with the fabric of the show to change things now.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The good news<\/a> for fans is that, despite changing the way the episodes are filmed, the on-screen content has not.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Going into this season, we thought for sure that all of the COVID restrictions would change the type of episodes we could produce,” Baker stated.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“But now that we have five shows under our belt, we\u2019re pretty confident that the viewers at home will not feel the restrictions one bit.”<\/p>\n

\n \"Bonnie<\/img>\n<\/div>\n

That\u2019s because our stories have always been small and intimate. So while how we shoot the show has completely changed, what we\u2019re shooting has not.”<\/p>\n
