Wednesday nights are all about comedy to kick things off on ABC. Shifting Gears is the new Tim Allen comedy that has people talking, but what’s going on tonight, Wednesday, Feb. 19?
There is some bad news to start the post. There isn’t going to be a new episode of the comedy series tonight. TV Guide has a lineup that says only What Would You Do? will air a new episode tonight. Everything else is on a rerun or skipping the night.
Shifting Gears has a double rerun to look out for
In some good news, ABC wants us to check out Shifting Gears. We don’t get just one rerun tonight, but two. It all starts with a rerun of the episode titled “Grief,” which saw Riley encourage her dad to go to grief counselling. It all started when Riley finds out that Matt still has a closet full of his late wife’s clothing and can’t give them away, not even to his own granddaughter.
After that, we’ll get a rerun of the episode titled “Jimmy.” This one saw Riley’s husband show up at the door, wanting her and the children to come back to Las Vegas. Riley was set to serve him divorce papers while he was there, but would she end up going through with it?
When will Shifting Gears return with new episodes?
This break isn’t a long one. This is clearly due to scheduling needs. During the midseason, there are more weeks to fill than episodes available to get the shows to May for finale season. This means that the odd week of reruns is required.
The great news is Shifting Gears is back with a new episode next Wednesday, Feb. 26. This episode will bring Premier Dance Lab back into the story, as Matt hates the picnic table that was placed in the shared alleyway.
Shifting Gears airs Wednesdays at 8/7c on ABC. Catch up the following day on Hulu.
