The message says that "together we are stronger," with about everyone member in the giant C for Chicago.
The shows are still set for the November 11 season premiere date, even with the setback from Chicago Med in last week's news of a production member testing positive.

During Saturday Night Live's Season Premiere this weekend, NBC released a first teaser for the new season of Superstore.
While the team deals with the COVID, it looks like Dina is having a little bit of fun with Glenn.
Here's the promo:

The doctors and nurses of Chicago Med are now dealing with the coronavirus in real life.
Deadline is reporting that Production on the NBC medical drama has shut down for two weeks after a production team member tested positive for COVID-19.
The production team member was immediately sent home following the positive test, and producers at Wolf Entertainment and Universal TV decided to pause production out of an abundance of caution since the production team member was close proximity to the cast and crew. Also, a second member of the same department also tested positive last week.
MEd just began filming last week for the upcoming sixth season and as of now, is still slated to premiere on Wednesday, November 11, along with its counterpart #OneChicago series, Chicago Fire and Chicago PD. Those other two series are set to begin filming next month.
I'm hoping that the two production members are okay and they get well. I still have optimistic that we'll see Chicago Med and others meet their season premiere.

Entertainment Weekly has done a feature of how the medical dramas will be doing to addressing the COVID-19 pandemic this upcoming season. Here's a look!
With Chicago Med in production and Fire and PD soon to be in production, executive producer Dick Wolf confirms to EW that the pandemic will be shown affecting the emergency workers in the Windy City.
"As out Chicago shows return, of course, the COIVD pandemic will be reflected," says Wolf. "On Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D., there will be references to the pandemic but they will be more subtle. For example, fewer civilians in the bullpen in Chicago Fire. But Chicago Med will address the pandemic head-on. There will be a COVID unit in the hospital, incoming patients will be tested by paramedics, and one character will be recovering from the disease. IT will be part of daily life, and adjustments will be made."
Chicago Med, Fire, and PD are set to premiere on Wednesday, Nov. 11 on NBC.
When season 17 premieres, don't expect Grey's to imply devote and episode, or even one of its incredible two-parters, to the COVID-19 pandemic.
"I think we all hope when the world shut down that it would be for an episode or maybe a two-parter," said showrunner Krista Vernoff. "But here we are six months later, still not allowed to hug our parents. So (the pandemic is) engrained into the season. Specifically, season 17 will feature two timelines, one picking up right after the events of the finale and one taking place a couple weeks into COVID."
Season 17 of Grey's Anatomy kicks off with a two-hour premiere on Thursday, Nov. 12 at 9/8c on ABC.
When Andy and the rest of the Station 19 squad returns for season four, they'll have a lot to unpack that extends even beyond the dramatic season three finale. Also, with the show in the same universe as Grey's, expect the pandemic to enter into their world too.
"Yes. Those shows are on the same timeline, they exist in the same universe, they're three blocks apart in Seattle," confirmed Vernoff. "The pandemic exists on Station 19 as well, but it looks and feels different on Station 19 because it's not a hospital so the protocols are different and everyone doesn't have to be in masks and PPE all the time. It's a little different."
I just can't wait to see how these shows will address and how the characters will be reacting to the pandemic. I know it's going to affect the hospital shows over the emergencies shows in away. Maybe one of the characters deals with the illness and we can see what it's like and maybe learn to take this pandemic seriously.

In the second season of CBS's FBI, I made additional adjustments that made the series even better. Here are my thoughts.
While I liked and enjoyed the first season of FBI, the second season got even better with the additional cast changes.
John Boyd joins the team as Agent Stuart Scola, who teams up with Kristen Chazal. And not to mention adding Alana de la Garza, as SAC Isobel Castille, to the series after being part of the backdoor pilot for FBI Most Wanted.
The addition of Boyd and Garza changed the series in a different tone and brought some outstanding storylines from "Little Egypt" that showed Garza's character put her stamp on how she runs things with the team.
"Ties That Bind" and "Fallout" were excellent non-two-part episodes dealing with how Boyd's character didn't critique his partner's work enough, which soon ended her getting stabbed in the field while taking down a wanted suspect.
Once again, Missy Peregrym and Zeeko Zaki are some of the best new TV television partnerships. It's a partnership that I still see as the Stabler and Benson on this series.
Jeremy Sisto steals the series for me as Jubal Valentine, the assistant special agent in charge. Jubal knows how to catch bad guys, and the way he talks with the analysis team is just excellent.
The series had some incredible episodes from "Legacy," "Safe Room," and "Outsider." One of my favorites in the second season was "Codename: Ferdinand," which kept me on the edge of my seat with suspense.
While I thought "Studio Gangster" and "Payback" were good, they just didn't have a lot going on in the character development in the episodes.
Plus, the season got two crossovers with FBI Most Wanted that dealt with the hijacking of 26 elementary students kidnapped by a white supremacist. At the same time, FBI fugitive Taskforce Jess LaCroix's daughter is taken during an ICE raid. The episodes were as perfect in story and character development as they could have gotten.
The one crossover I wouldn't think happened is the FBI-Cicago PD crossover, as Detective Hailey Upton joins the FBI New York team as part of a training program. This was after Voight sent her over due to her decision-making in Season 7 of Chicago PD. All I will say is that I wanted more.
Watching Tracy Spiridakos teaming up with Zaki was so damn good as they playoff with the jokes (Chicago pizza vs. New York pizza) and the bonding. I will go out on a limb and say we could be looking at a two-network, three-night, six-show crossover. And that is something that I want to see.
Overall, the second season of The FBI improved from the first season with character development and the stories. I love this ensemble cast. I don't know about you, but after watching all 19 episodes of season two, I'm looking to see what Season three has in store for us. I give this second season a 9/10.

You can catch the FBI returning this November on CBS.
I'll be the first to admit that the news is still hard but there's always a light.
It's been over 48 hours since the news broke that The CW's Supergirl will end after its upcoming sixth season. I'll be up most front about it that it still hurts to read it; let alone hearing about it. As all bad news has a sadness over us, there's always a light (like Kara) that can help us along the way.
Let me just get this out of the way that there are many reasons why the show is coming to an end. One of them being that of the production cost due to the COVID-19 has put on the network and production teams. Another is that the ratings have gone down for the last few seasons; with Season 5 being at its lowset averaging just 840,000 total viewers with a .22 in the demos according to the TVLive.
While the ratings might have been the final blow to the decision making, let's look at how with the new Superman and Lois series that maybe it would be time for Kara to pass the cape and timeslot to her Kryptonian cousin. I don't want to trash the series (even though it's not something that I'm looking forward), but I've enjoyed watching Tyler Hoechlin playing Clark Kent in this version.
But let me end with these thoughts. I've been a huge fan of the series ever since rumors about started and news of its pick up at CBS. Supergirl is the first female lead superhero series since Wonder Woman and it was pretty freakin amazing. This show was my introduction to the Arrowverse (even though I've heard of Arrow and The Flash series before but just never watched it).
The way Melissa Benoist embodies the character of Kara Danvers is amazing. This whole ensemble cast is amazing and the way they represented different cultures of race, gender, and ethnicity to these characters.
While we are sad about the news, there is always the bright side to this one is that we're getting a final season with 20 episodes. Let's be grateful that everyone from the network, studio, producers, and star came to an agreement to end it. We're going to get a proper send-off than just letting the show have no closure. It's not just over yet as the show won't return until Spring 2021 anyway.
And not to mention that the series has lasted six seasons, not a lot of shows these days last that long. That's probably one of many bright spots to take after the news.
Who knows what the final season will bring. I'm sure looking forward to seeing where they will end things. And maybe down the road with them completing six seasons that they could possibly do a movie later down the road.
