With Covid upending every aspect of viewers’ lives, some TV shows – from the obvious medical dramas to sitcoms – have woven the pandemic into their latest seasons’ storylines, but a handful have avoided it altogether.

Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider, showrunners for NBC’s “Chicago Med,” told AFP that “as a hospital show, we knew we’d have to deal with the pandemic.” Other medical shows like ABC’s “The Good Doctor” have already tackled the virus, while “New Amsterdam” and “The Resident” are ready to follow suit in 2021.

ABC’s “The Conners” put its own spin on the issue, addressing the pandemic through the financial hardships it has created for the sitcom’s characters. “We’ve always found that the biggest laughs come when the audience is a bit uncomfortable and then they’re allowed to just laugh at it.”
