Out of respect for the victims of the Paris terrorist attacks, CBS has altered their primetime programming.

A new Supergirl, titled "How Does She Do It?", was to air on Monday night, but the hour-long episode would have revolved around "a series of bombings" that hit the city. Instead, CBS has decided to air a Thanksgiving-themed episode, "Livewire."
