NCIS fans have enjoyed seeing the show arrive on-screen each week for most of the last 17 years. Not much has halted the show from airing in recent years but fans of the show were a little unhappy last week when the next instalment, season 17, episode 17, was pulled from being shown on CBS in the USA.
This week, fans had similar luck as episode 17 was once again been pulled from CBS on Tuesday, March 4.
NCIS’ absence was due to CBS’ news feature which is dedicated to the American Election.Tuesday was known as Super Tuesday in America, which is when the most US states hold contests to pick a presidential nominee.
It is also where most people get to cast their ballot for the election.

The feature’s description doesn’t reveal much, but it does tell viewers: “Special coverage of the Super Tuesday primaries.”
