And, people are serious about watching their shows at the scheduled times.

Why was Fox showing an MLB game at such an odd time? Let's take a closer look.Source: FoxArticle continues below advertisement Why isn' t ' The Masked Singer' on tonight Basically, Game 2 of the series between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Atlanta Braves was delayed for rain on Oct. 12. This pushed back the start time to 7:30 p.m. EST — about three hours after the game was supposed to have started, according to CBS Sports. As you can imagine, this put Fox in a pickle.

Ultimately, Fox programming was switched around to accommodate both games — much to the chagrin of dedicated The Masked Singer fans.Article continues below advertisement ' The Masked Singer' fans took to Twitter to air their grievances about baseball unseating their favorite show Basically, those who were inexplicably greeted with a professional baseball game instead of mystery singers in outlandish costumes were losing their minds over missing their show.
