After the terrorist attacks in Paris, CBS announced last Sunday about their decision to delay to show an episode of two of its primetime series, namely "Supergirl" and "NCIS: Los Angeles," according to Nola.com. It is to pay respect to the recent attacks in Paris that took hundreds of innocent lives.

Instead of showing the original episodes of the two series that were supposedly supposed to air this week, they are going to swap it with different episodes that will not tackle about terrorism or any religious extremism.

Reuters states that "Supergirl," a newly aired television series about a young, female superhero, was supposed to release an episode about bombing attacks in a fictitious city on Monday. Replacing this episode is a Thanksgiving-themed episode, originally planned to run on Nov. 23, in which the female protagonist of the series is suspecting that her mother disapproves of her being a superhero.

On the other hand, the "NCIS: Los Angeles" also moved the running date of an episode about ISIS recruitment. Because of this, an episode that was supposedly to be shown in December will be aired earlier than planned.

CBS showed a great gesture of respect to the recent Paris attacks. However, they are not the only ones in the entertainment industry who paid respect to the tragedy. Other channels and companies also showed their own gestures of respect.

Lionsgate Films is among the many entertainment companies that decided to delay, swap or cancel projects and schedules out of respect to the incident. The most awaited film of the company "The Hunger Games: Mocking Jay Part 2" is scheduled to have its premiere on Nov. 20.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the premiere for the third film of The Hunger Games franchise will still continue. However, the company decided to change their plan and not to conduct interviews. Instead, the stars of the film will only take a few photos before finally going to the screening of the film. Aside from cancelling the red carpet interviews, other plans for the premiere will still stay the same.

This is not the first time that entertainment companies changed, delayed or cancelled their TV shows, movies or events after a tragic event.

It can be remembered that after the deadly attacks in the World Trade Center of New York in Sept. 11, 2001, a lot of TV shows, movies and events, dealing with large-scale attacks and terrorism, had been re-scheduled and canceled.
