Tim Allen is back on TV with his latest series, “Shifting Gears,” a sitcom that combines his love of classic cars and comedy. The show follows Matt, a widower who runs a garage specializing in vintage vehicles, as he navigates the challenges of raising two young grandkids after their mother gets divorced.
The show features Allen’s signature humor, with Kat Dennings playing his daughter Riley and Barrett Margolis and Maxwell Simkins playing her kids. Daryl Chill Mitchell and Seann William Scott round out the cast as mechanics at Matt’s shop.
Michelle Nader, an executive producer and co-star of the show, brings her experience from other hit sitcoms like “2 Broke Girls” to “Shifting Gears.” The show has received praise from critics, who say it is a comfortable fit for Allen’s comedic style.
As part of his long TV career, Allen has starred in several notable shows, including “Home Improvement,” “Last Man Standing,” and “The Santa Clause.” “Shifting Gears” premieres on ABC Wednesdays at 8 p.m., followed by the crossover episode of “Abbott Elementary” and “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” on Hulu.
