There was a lot I missed on the 2025 TV schedule during the blurry days when ABC and YouTube TV were disputing. College football was the big thing, but some of my favorite ABC TV shows were preempted in this window, which is how I ended up missing a fun Toy Story nod from Tim Allen and co.
The timeline went like this. ABC dropped the Halloween episode of Shifting Gears on October 29th, but I played tennis that evening and missed the episode. The next day, the ABC and YouTube TV dispute went into effect, and I couldn’t see the episode as intended. That is until this week, when it popped back up in my library thanks to my YouTube TV subscription as the dispute ended.
