CBS Swaps Out Television Episodes With 'Terrorism-Related Plotlines'
LatestOn Monday, November 16, CBS originally planned to air episodes of Supergirl and NCIS: Los Angeles that tackled terrorist-related subject matter. Seeing as this material would be jarring, to say the least, after the attacks in Paris and Beirut, the episodes have been swapped for more innocuous ones.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, both shows featured “terrorism-related plotlines.” Supergirl, the A.V. Club reports, would have featured “the eponymous hero racing around her city to stop a series of bombing.” NCIS: LA’s narrative would have focused on women being recruited to join ISIS. It’s not clear as to whether either episode will air in the future.
