In ordinary times, the winter Television Critics Press Tour is an opportunity for TV journalists from across the country to gather in a Los Angeles hotel and listen to the makers of TV shows answer questions and discuss their programs.
In the coronavirus age, everything is different. Now, instead of a compressed, two-plus week period, where panels are scheduled for the length of every day, weekends included, the press tour has gone virtual. Which means people associated with shows from various networks will be turning up in Zoom sessions for the next few weeks.
