Matt’s WWII Math Lesson Backfires on Shifting Gears

FanReviews

While studying World War II for a placement test, Carter accepts Matt’s offer to help—along with a surprise compliment about being smart, even if Matt still calls him a nerd. Things take a turn when Carter assumes Matt has firsthand war stories, prompting Matt to point out that WWII ended in 1944… which would make him 108 years old. The realization lands hard, proving that maybe Carter isn’t the nerd in the room after all in this scene from Season 1. Watch new episodes of Shifting Gears on ABC and stream next day on Hulu.  #ShiftingGears #ABC #SitcomMoments #TVComedy
