In the new episode 9 press release: WHILE DEEKS IS UNDER ARREST AND INTERROGATED FOR THE MURDER OF HIS FORMER PARTNER, THE TEAM RACES TO TRY AND PROVE HIS INNOCENCE, ON “NCIS: LOS ANGELES”, MONDAY, November 23.
The US TV network has made the decision to replace them in the schedule “out of sensitivity and respect” for those affected by the tragedy.
The CBS network felt it was best not to air these particular episodes while the world is still shocked by the terrorist attacks that left at least 129 people dead and over 350 wounded.
However, ABC still plans to go ahead with Sunday night’s scheduled episode of its terrorism drama Quantico, according to Deadline.com.
CBS will now show the episode Livewire in its place, which was originally set to air next week. A few continuity to the show’s story may be confusing to viewers, but episode cancellations, swaps and delays are usual in the TV industry after tragic events, per Reuters.
On Saturday night, the NBC hit show, Saturday Night Live, paid respect to the victims of the Paris attacks by beginning the show with a brief, subdued tribute.
CBS has decided not to run the “Supergirl” episode it had scheduled for Monday.

Additionally, Saturday’s Democratic Presidential Debate, which also aired on CBS, was “significantly reworked” to address the Paris attacks. In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter on December 14, 2012, Syfy said “tonight’s scheduled 10 p.m. episode of Haven contained scenes of fictitious violence in a high school”.
