at the panic. Probably worried about power-loss to the NE and it effecting ratings. Or the local affiliates in the northeast want to continue their end-of-the-world local panic coverage into primetime.

I understand that the media is afraid if they don't warn people and then it ends up super bad and people die that they'll get sued in our current sue happy country
but they've gone beyond warning to fear mongering

And snowmageddon season is just around the corner. Every winter storm is a potential snowpocalypse. It has become a point of ridicule here in Minnesota.

They're just trying to avoid lost ratings due to power outages, makes sense.

I hope Tivo somehow catches it when tonight's scheduled episodes actually air. I don't record repeats and my Tivo now thinks I have already seen these shows.

I tuned in halfway through 2 Broke Girls and was thought one of the very crass jokes sounded familiar, but didn't think twice about it since most of the crass jokes sound familiar.

Is there any plan for the missed episodes yet? From the previews, the episode of H 5-0 looked good.

Crap. I forgot that Hulu doesn't carry CBS shows.
When I was watching CBS, one of the news reporters announced that the regularly scheduled shows would air on one of their sister stations while CBS covered the storm.

Why not cancel all the network programming for this week?
I thought the East Coast is all that matters in ratings and sports coverage and I bet some Easterners might not be happy if they are a week behind on Dancing with the Stars.

Every time I glance at this thread's title I momentarily read it as "CBS crapping on tonight's shows" and I think, "Hey, that's our job."
