It’s going to be a little harder for fans of NCIS: Los Angeles to find their TV show this season. CBS has moved the series to Sunday nights, an evening when start times are often delayed because of football game overruns. How will this move affect the ratings? Will the series be cancelled or renewed for a ninth season? Stay tuned.
NCIS: Los Angeles follows the the high-stakes NCIS division that’s charged with apprehending elusive criminals that pose a threat to the nation’s security.
