'Madam Secretary' Re-Airing Bumped By Overtime NFL Game

Viewers hoping to catch the second airing of "Madam Secretary" will have to wait until Saturday, or find it on demand through their cable or satellite provider, or just watch it now.

The show was set to premiere at 8 p.m. on the east coast, but the Seatttle Seahawks 26-20 overtime win over the Denver Broncos pushed it back to 9 p.m. and "The Good Wife" back to 10 p.m.

Before we go any further, it's important to note CBS13 airs its primetime lineup an hour earlier.

Because the network wanted to keep the airings on both coasts in sync, the premiere of "Madam Secretary" and the new episode of "The Good Wife" aired as scheduled—7 p.m. and 8 p.m. respectively in Sacramento. But instead of the re-airing, viewers instead got an episode of "CSI."

But you're not out of luck. The episode will re-air on Saturday, but if you'd rather not wait, you can watch it here at CBS.com.

A similar issue happened last year with an episode of "The Mentalist."
