Here's Why 'NCIS' & 'FBI' Aren't Airing New Episodes Tonight

The episodes that were set to air tonight were “Sangre” for NCIS, where, when evidence from the stabbing of a Marine Sergeant surfaces, it leads Torres to meet his father, Miguel, who left when he was a child.
For FBI, the episode titled “Brother’s Keeper” was set to air. It centered on a man who is killed by an explosive package shipped to his home, and the team attempts to capture the sender and intercept his latest deadly parcel.

So…I know there are important things going on and that takes precedence, but when are we getting the new ep of #NCIS? I'm in need of escapism.

Hey @NCIS_CBS, I understand things happen but how about giving people a heads up when it's going to be a rerun. You know… like on Twitter. #NCIS pic.twitter.com/xhznEIboRv
