    Why does CBS have promo's on for new episodes and show repeats instead?

    Yestersday December 18 NCIS was suppose to be a new episode.  But it was a repeat where the team thought Tony had died.  Tonight Criminal Minds also was to be new and again it was a repeat.  It was the episode that a kidnaper puts up posters of missing women.  The only problem they were not missing.  Tonight's episode was to be about two girls that get kidnaped and one is killed.  The new Criminal Profiler's real life daughter was to be a guest in the show.  What is the point of showing promo's if they can't show the right episode?  Another odd thing this website has two different listing.  In their own tv guide they state tonight show is a repeat.  But if you go to the bottom left of the screen it describes the new episode.  What gives?

    I was wondering the same thing.  Sometimes I check the on screen guide and it says new, then a different episode is shown, generally a repeat.  The only thing I can think of is that the information provided for the onscreen guide is given months in advance.  Also, with the writers strike, I am pretty sure a lot of different shows do not have new episodes.  I would honestly love to know why this does happen though.

    Probably a lot of last-minute schedule shuffling with the holidays and the Writers' Strike going on. Luis has a good point about the onscreen guide, too. Hm.
