What Show Comes On After The Masked Singer
Okay, let's be real. We've all been there. It's Wednesday night. We've watched celebrities dressed as pineapples and poodle-things belt out tunes on The Masked Singer. But then... what next?
The credits roll. The masks are (hopefully) off. Now what graces our screens? It's the question that keeps me up at night. (Okay, maybe not really, but you get the drama.)
The Usual Suspects
Sometimes, it's a rerun. Maybe a Law & Order episode we've seen 17 times. Or some kind of news show trying to make sense of the world.
Must Read
And honestly? That's fine. Predictable, even. It’s like a comfortable old shoe. But comfort doesn’t always equal excitement, right?
My Unpopular Opinion
Here's where I might ruffle some feathers. My unpopular opinion? The show that should follow The Masked Singer is... ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
I know, I know! Gasp! Hear me out. After the sheer chaotic energy of costumed celebrities singing their hearts out, we need a break. A palate cleanser.
Think about it. We've been bombarded with bright colors, crazy costumes, and Nick Cannon's… Nick Cannon-ness. A moment of quiet contemplation is in order.
The Case for a Black Screen
Picture this: the show ends. The screen goes black. Silence. Maybe some ambient nature sounds if we're feeling fancy.
Just five minutes. That's all I ask. Five minutes to process what we just witnessed. To discuss theories with your family. To finally get that snack you were craving.
This brief respite would be glorious. A moment to recharge before diving back into the endless stream of content. A mental reset button, if you will.
The Alternatives (That I'm Not Sold On)
I understand the network needs to fill airtime. They have ads to sell! But let's explore some of the current options, shall we?
Local news? Informative, sure. But after the glitter and glamour of disguised singers, the local news feels... well, very local. Not exactly a smooth transition.
Another reality show? Please, no. My brain can only handle so much manufactured drama in one night. Especially after trying to guess the identity of the Rattlesnake.
"Give the people what they want... which is apparently five minutes of nothing after The Masked Singer."
Perhaps something completely different? A documentary about deep-sea creatures? An instructional video on macrame? Anything that is opposite from The Masked Singer.
My Plea to the Television Gods
So, here I stand, making my case. After The Masked Singer, give us... nothing. Let us marinate in the afterglow of the bizarre. Let us decompress.
It's a bold move, I know. But I believe it's the right move. The mentally healthy move. Think about it for once, FOX.
Or, at the very least, can we get a show featuring Ken Jeong trying to guess what show comes on after The Masked Singer?
