Actor-writer-director Colton Dunn has played Garrett on NBC’s “Superstore” for five seasons, or 102 episodes.

But when he signed for a virtual production meeting, whoever was accepting the invites to the Zoom meeting didn’t know who he was.

Dunn Tweeted a picture of the message. “Hello, I don’t recognize this name. Can you please let me know how you are related to the show?” a P.A. texted him.

Dunn, with great restraint, wrote back: “I play Garrett.”

Stupid is everywhere these days. But in Hollywood, this is par for the course. Maybe the PA should watch the show.

Dunn has a long and impressive career resume, with runs on “Park and Recreation” and “Key and Peele.”

WITH POSSIBLE SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“The Undoing” is over. The murder of Elena Alves has been solved. The real killer was not Nicole, or Donald Sutherland or the kid or Lily Rabe.

In fact, even the little things we hoped tied up loose ends weren’t explored. The last twenty minutes jumped every shark it could find, looking for OJ’s Bronco. All the red herrings came to nothing. This was a disappointment.

It’s a sign of the times that so many people were obsessed with “The Undoing” as it progressed. I watched all five episodes at one in a press cue. I couldn’t “put it down,” so to speak.

Maybe one reason was that it looked like our fantasies before the pandemic ended everything. Everyone’s rich and happy or unhappy, money seems to be the answer to everything until it isn’t. No one is wearing a mask, Trump isn’t brow beating the news, it’s like a dream of something long ago.

Can you imagine all that happening to the Frasers in the middle of the pandemic? Oh, no, Masks and social distancing. Bodies piling up in the morgue behind Lenox Hill? No time for a good affair and murder now, folks. We. are. busy.

So in the end David E. Kelley and Jean Hanff Korelitz did not turn out to Alfred Hitchcock or Perry Mason or even Agatha Christie. But it was fun, and that’s what we needed. And Nicole Kidman will get more awards. I saw her today in “The Prom” coming to Netflix, and let me say, 2020 has been her year.

Writers get no love in the Hollywood obits, especially if they’ve outlived everyone who knew them.

So we’re toasting Malcolm Marmorstein this morning. He wrote the big Disney hit, “Pete’s Dragon,” in 1977, which was revived a couple of years ago in a live action version that was also a hit.

In the 1960s, Marmorstein was head writer for “The Doctors” on NBC, then went to Hollywood. There he took over the nighttime series “Peyton Place,” which starred Mia Farrow and Ryan O’Neal among others. Audiences were addicted to the twice a week program as they are now with shows like “The Walking Dead” or “The Undoing.”

Fans of the cult soap “Dark Shadows” will appreciate that Malcolm wrote 80 episodes of that gothic series about time traveling vampires, in 1967. This show actually aired on ABC every afternoon at 4pm to a devoted following. David Selby and Jonathan Frid were among the stars. Marmorstein created Frid’s character of Barnabas Collins, who was like a rock star back when there were just a few channels. He no doubt saved the show from cancellation.

Here’s Malcolm’s obit. Rest in peace, sir. And avoid the vampires!

There was such a big reaction last week to my report on “The Conners” that we continue with updates.

This past week, “The Conners” on ABC Wednesday night at 9pm scored 3.73 million viewers. That’s exactly 2 million less than the week of November 26, 2019. Last year it was 5.76 million. Where did everyone go?

The key demo dropped from 1.6 million to 1 million of those fans.

A couple of viewers suggested that ABC might move the show back to Tuesdays at 8 once “The Bachelorette” is done, and “Dancing with the Stars.”

But there’s been no such announcement. “The Conners” has been put out to pasture. It still wins the night, which says a lot of about Wednesday viewing anyway. It’s very low.

Wednesday’s episode was directed by “Wonder Years” star Fred Savage. It was written by Jana Hunter and Mitch Hunter. The description: “Friends in High Places and Horse Surgery” – Darlene begins to develop a friendship with a manager at Wellman Plastics, which lands her in an awkward situation between the boss and her sister, Becky. Meanwhile, Louise’s brother, Neville, tries to win over Jackie by making a thoughtful gesture, creating uncomfortable tension.”

What I don’t see there is any mention of John Goodman as Dan. I don’t know who Louis and Neville are. Jackie is Laurie Metcalf, and the show should be writing for her in a big way. If Goodman and Metcalf aren’t at the center of the stories, you’re going to lose the die hard fans. Period.

PS The fans are angry the show punted on introducing Roseanne and Dan’s missing son, Jerry Garcia. Tom Pelphrey would have been perfect for the role. There’s still time to fix that decision.
