CBS is pulling previously scheduled terrorism-related episodes of “Supergirl” and “NCIS: Los Angeles” from its schedule Monday following the devastating attacks in Paris, TheWrap has learned.
Before Friday’s attacks, an episode of “Supergirl” dealing with bombings throughout National City had been set to air Monday, an individual with knowledge of the situation told TheWrap. Instead, it will be replaced at 8 p.m. by an episode titled “Livewire,” in which Kara’s (Melissa Benoist) Thanksgiving plans are threatened when she suspects her foster mother, Dr. Danvers (Helen Slater), who is coming to town, disapproves of her new role as a superhero.
The previously scheduled episode of “NCIS: Los Angeles,” which focuses on ISIS recruitment, will be swapped out at 10 p.m. for an episode titled “The Long Goodbye,” which sees the team searching for Jada (Ella Thomas), the woman Sam (LL Cool J) led to asylum in the United States four years ago, after she goes missing.
