CBS Pulls Lotería Loca From Schedule — Here’s What’s Replacing It
Lotería Loca has not been a winning ticket for CBS. And after successive declines in viewership, the freshman game show is being pulled from the Monday line-up.

On Nov. 20, Let’s Make a Deal Primetime will get sandwiched between a pair of NCIS repeats, at 9/8c.

Though Lotería Loca may be down, it is not completely out! A special holiday episode will air in December (date to be announced), and additional episodes will return “at a later date.:
