Monday’s episode of “Supergirl” was going to focus on Kara a.k.a. Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) dealing with bombings in National City, but instead the network will air a Thanksgiving-themed episode. Los Angeles was scheduled to air an episode about the search for a teenage girl who was recruited into a terrorist organization. An episode originally meant to air December 7 will run in its place. Supergirl, the A.V. Club reports, would have featured “the eponymous hero racing around her city to stop a series of bombing”. An accident transforms an employee at Catco into the villain, Livewire, and Supergirl must come to the rescue.

According to TVLine.com, episodes of both shown will be replaced with different ones airing in an effort to be sensitive to the timing of certain stories. The Washington Post reports that the network will pull the episodes of “Supergirl” and “NCIS: Los Angeles” it had scheduled for tonight. At the moment, there are not any other known sweeping changes coming in for Monday night in the wake of everything that transpired. The following evening’s episode of Saturday Night Live went ahead as planned, albeit with a somber and quite touching message to Paris in place of its usual cold open.
CBS made a few changes to its TV schedules in light of the recent coordinated attacks in Paris on Friday, November 13.
Such gestures proliferated over the weekend, as the entertainment industry reacted to the deadly attacks where the toll was highest at the Bataclan concert venue during a performance by the American rock group Eagles of Death Metal. France declared a state of emergency for three days. As those jobs tends to turn episodes into mini action-thrillers with a fair share of violence, its safe to bet that the episode that was pulled would be insensitive to audiences.
