According to EW.com, CBS will not be airing original episodes of CSI: NY, BLUE BLOODS and GIFTED MAN due to the seventh game of tonight's World Series on Fox.  Instead, the network plans to air repeat episodes of the shows, including a rebroadcast of the GIFTED MAN series pilot.

EW reports that as of now, NBC intends to go ahead with it's plans to air the season premiere of its hits series CHUCK as well as the series premiere of it's new fantasy drama, GRIMM. 

NBC's GRIMM is a new drama series inspired by the classic Grimm's Fairy Tales. It tells the tale of Portland homicide Detective Nick Burkhardt (David Giuntoli, "Turn The Beat Around")who  discovers he is descended from an elite line of criminal profilers known as "Grimms," charged with keeping balance between humanity and the mythological creatures of the world.

As he tries to hide the dangers of his new found calling from his fiancé, Juliette Silverton, (Bitsie Tulloch, "quarterlife"), and his partner, Hank Griffin (Russell Hornsby, "Lincoln Heights"), he becomes ever more entrenched in the ancient rivalries and alliances of the Grimm world.

With help from his confidant, Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell, "Prison Break"), a reformed Grimm creature himself, Nick must navigate through the forces of a larger-than-life mythology, facing off with Hexenbiests, Blutbads and all manner of ancient evils, including royal lines dating back to the original profilers themselves, The Grimm Brothers. Reggie Lee ("Persons Unknown") and Sasha Roiz ("Caprica") also star.
