I was really looking forward to the remake of Stephen King’s The Stand on CBS All Access, and the announced cast included names that increased my anticipation. Admittedly my feelings are mixed now because of the coronavirus, but I would still give it a try. Has this project been shelved? —Susan MATT ROUSH: Not at all. Filming on the limited series reportedly wrapped a few days ahead of schedule in March in advance of the pandemic shutting down TV production. This wouldn’t have aired before late 2020 anyway, and while CBS All Access has yet to announce a premiere date, it’s still very much in the pipeline. The subject matter—a battle between good and evil in the wake of a worldwide plague—certainly has unnerving echoes of the current crisis, but…

WELL DONE I am a big fan of CBS’s Blue Bloods and Tom Selleck. I think the stories and the actors are excellent. The show puts its police officers in a wide range of situations and solutions, and in this current atmosphere, it does a good job. The family dinner table is always interesting. I hope the show continues for a long time. —Ellen NO, THANKS My wife and I had been looking forward to the new Perry Mason ever since it was first talked about years ago with Robert Downey Jr. We have been major fans of the Raymond Burr series as well as the Erle Stanley Gardner books. The new HBO version is a major disappointment. We made it through half of the first episode and stopped watching.…

They were all linked.” That link is the Five Families—the Bonanno, Colombo, Gambino, Genovese and Lucchese gangs—who infiltrated nearly every aspect of business going back to the 1930s.
