Scripted shows like NBC’s Saturday Night Live, CBS’s All Rise, and Nickelodeon’s Danger Force are doing special episodes via Zoom. One Day At a Time found a different way to do it while all of their actors are quarantining at home. Pop TV revealed the sitcom, they saved from Netflix, will do an animated episode later this spring.
The press release describes the standalone episode as, “Penelope’s conservative family visiting. Penelope dreads that with the election coming up, they won’t be able to avoid fighting over politics. The Alvarez family spends the episode discussing strategies of how to get through it, illustrated through fantasy sequences.”
My hat is off to showrunner Gloria Calderón Kellett who came up with this brilliant idea. Animated shows are the only ones that are in production now, so she made a wise choice. Maybe more shows will do the same.
Which television show would you want to see become a cartoon?
