Miss [Out On]?

New2grammarDid you miss the show (on TV)?
Did you miss out on the show (on TV)?

Is there any difference between the two?
Thanks.

Miss out on implies missing an opportunity to do something.

I got to the party late and missed out on the food = by the time I got to the party there was no food left.

HAHA. You can miss a show, can't you? Like you missed a bus or a flight.

Yes of course. Your first sentence is fine. Sorry I thought you knew that.

I must not assume - it makes an ass out of u and me.

I didn't know that and am still a bit confused. It sounds like they share the same meaning.

But I do know assume ass u (and) me

OK

You miss something = you didn't do it

I missed my plane = I didn't catch my plane

I missed the show on TV = I didn't see it.

I missed him. = I didn't see/talk to him.

Miss out on something = lost the opportunity for something.

I missed out on (the opportunity of) being chosen for the school play = I was not chosen.

I missed out on (the opportunity of) going to France with the school. = I lost the chance to go.

Apparently they'll be giving away loads of free items. I'm going to get there early so I don't miss out.

I see. So in the original context, the difference is little, right?
I missed the show ( I didn't see it)
I missed out on the show ( I missed the opportunity to watch it)

Thanks, Optilang.
