Fictional stories that are supposed to play out on TV shows can sometimes resemble the horrors that happen in the real world. Following the tragic terrorist attacks in Paris, France, on Friday, CBS pulled this week's episodes of "Supergirl" and "NCIS: Los Angeles," The Wrap reports. This isn't the first time major television networks have chosen to push back a show due to content being too similar to a recent event.

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. "NCIS: Los Angeles" was going to focus on ISIS recruitment, but Monday's episode will instead will be about the team looking for a woman named Jada (Ella Thomas) who has gone missing.
