Boston Bombings Preempt Vegas, Shift Hannibal Schedule
Matt Richenthal at .Both CBS and NBC have shifted around their programming schedules in the wake of this week's Boston bombings and today's city-wide manhunt for the men responsible.
First, CBS will preempt tonight's episode of Vegas in order to run a special news report on the culprits. It will air tomorrow night at 8 instead.
NBC, meanwhile, has pulled next Thursday's installment of Hannibal because producer Bryan Fuller was concerned that the especially lurid storyline of children-on-children murder would not be appropriate at this time.
The series will air what had been scheduled as Episode 5 instead and air its season finale a week earlier on June 20.
