'Dancing With The Stars' set the stage on fire when it premiered on ABC last week. People had been eagerly waiting to see the next episode as the first elimination of the show was set to happen. However, if you have tuned in to ABC, you will notice football being played on Monday. Unfortunately, viewers will have to wait for one more day to tune in to their favorite show. 

The Twitter website of the show announced they would be airing a special on Tuesday at 8 pm ET instead. This will be the episode that was supposed to air today. As football has taken over the time slot today, ABC decided to move the episode. The change came as a shock to many as people were quick to take it to social media to ask questions. 

However, the show will have a lot to offer once it is back tomorrow. The season premiere of the show had everyone glued to the screen as some of the best and slightly bad dancers took the stage. While everyone had been cheering for their favorite celebrities, one person who stole the show was Carole Baskin. Baskin's entry into the show had everyone shocked. Despite this, they knew it would be worth a watch. Baskin and her pro-Pasha Pashov made sure that tiger was the essence of their season premiere performance. Right from matching outfits to dancing to 'Eye of the tiger', Baskin reminded everyone that her tiger roots were not going anywhere. 

While her performance did not garner a big score from the judges, people were quick to talk about the advertisement that aired ahead of the show. Baskin's ex-husband Don Lewis's family created a commercial calling for justice. The commercial space was bought by the family lawyer as they were not happy to see such a platform being given to Baskin. 

The advertisement saw Don's children pleading for any information regarding their father's mysterious disappearance. Don's former assistant also made an appearance in the video. All of them alleged that Baskin had something to do with his murder. While it has not been proven yet, viewers already seem to want her out of the show as a petition to get her out as garnered over 6k signatures. 

'Dancing With The Stars' new episode will air on September 22 at 8 pm ET on ABC.
