Anger and Confusion
The reactions began when the show started, and it was actually a rerun.
The last-minute change of plans by the network led to satellitte and cable guides still indicating a new episode was coming on.
That paired with the promos for the new episode let to a chorus of angry reactions from confused fans.
Hatred of the World Series
The World Series received a wave of hatred, as well.
Numerous fans were furious that a Major League Baseball took over TV for the night, as they'd much rather be watching Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) take on an investigation.
NBC Claps Back
Faced with all this online hate, the show's official account decide to make light of the issue.
"Don't act like you don't enjoy a good SVU rerun," the account tweeted.
As one might expect, fans did not appreciate the network poking fun at their irritation. They filled the replies of the tweet with angry remarks.
