The spread of the coronavirus has made TV shows do a variety of first, from the first Real Housewives virtual reunion with Andy Cohen and The Real Housewives of Atlanta, to Pop TV's One Day at a Time's entirely animated episode.
Production was put on hold on One Day at a Time due to the spread of the coronavirus, leading to executive producer and co-showrunner Gloria Calderón Kellett to come up with the animated special.
The episode centers around Penelope's (Justina Machado) conservative family coming for a visit with the election looming. Can the family avoid fighting about politics?
The Alvarez family spends the episode discussing strategies of how to get through it, illustrated through fantasy sequences.
