CBS Yanks 'Supergirl' Due To Paris Attacks; 'NCIS: LA' Episodes Also Postponed!
CBS decided to change some of its primetime programming in the wake of the deadly attacks on Paris, Friday, according to the New York Post.
The three television series postponed their episodes, Monday night due to storylines that are related to the deadly terrorist attacks.
The network swapped the scheduled episodes of "NCIS: LA" and "Supergirl" which had bombings and terrorism with new episodes.
TNT also postponed "Legends'" Monday episode which features Sean Bean's character Martin, investigating a protest that may possibly turn to chaos in the hands of a radical. The episode is set in Paris.
The network made the decision Monday, "out of sensitivity and respect to the events occured," said a CBS insider.
The previously scheduled episode of "Supergirl" titled "How Does She Do It?" had Kara played by Melissa Benoist, pulled in opposite directions as she tries to babysit her boss' son while trying to stop a series of bombings in National City.
A Thanksgiving-themed episode of "Livewire" guest-starring Helen Slater as Kara's foster mother will now air instead, according to TVLine.
CBS is not the only network switching up episodes following Friday's attack on France's capital.
A viewer warning message was seen on Showtime's "Homeland" before it aired Sunday night's terrorism-themed drama.
Meanwhile, "NCIS: LA" planned to air an episode featuring the team searching for a missing teenage girl. She is believed to have been recruited by a terrorist organization.
Monday's new episode will now be about the team searching for another missing woman, which is Ella Thomas who plays Jada.
In August, USA Network followed a similar move by postponing the season finale of "Mr. Robot" by a week, after two jounalists from Virginia were shot on live television. The episode showed a similar graphic scene.
TNT and CBS has not announce when the previously scheduled episodes will air.
