“Shifting Gears” Hit with Upsetting Schedule Shakeup: Fans Left Reeling as ABC Delivers Devastating News!

ABC’s new comedy TV series Shifting Gears has quickly become a new fan favorite for many viewers.

In a piece of upsetting news, we learned that tonight, ABC will not be airing a new episode of the Tim Allen-led TV show. Instead, two repeats will be airing.

In addition, yubi, we know a little more about the episode count for the freshman series.

TV Line previously reported that the “penultimate” episode will air on March 12. That leads us to believe that the season 1 finale will be airing the next week on March 19, though ABC has not confirmed this just yet.

New episodes pick up next Wednesday on February 26 with episode 7.

If the March 19 date is really the season 1 finale, that means ABC only ordered 10 episodes for season 1. It’s not very unusual for new shows to have shortened episode counts.
