We're missing a rerun of M*A*S*H*! It's on RIGHT NOW! Hurry!
In (slightly) more seriousness: if one subscribes to the Many Worlds theory, in this world we are missing all the complete Beatles reunions, the anniversary of the groundbreaking for the first lunar colonies, the Star Wars prequel trilogy as directed by Peter Jackson, and the newpox pandemic of 2009. On the other hand, a lot of those other worlds are missing the Internet, the complete works of Edgar Allan Poe, the legalization of gay marriage anywhere, and/or the waffle cone.
If everything happens somewhere, it probably all balances out.
