Tim Allen and Kat Dennings Butt Heads in Choppy Family Sitcom ‘Shifting Gears’: TV Review
Tim Allen and Kat Dennings star as a father and his estranged daughter butting heads in the uneven ABC sitcom.
With the sitcom “ Shifting Gears,” a midseason debut that brings Allen back into the ABC primetime fold, the two actors join forces to form a dynasty, playing a father and daughter reunited after more than a decade of estrangement. He idolizes Reagan, but makes no mention of the current president-elect, even when tariffs come up in the news; Riley defends Nancy Pelosi, though a woman who dropped out of college to run off with a bass player seems more like the Bernie type. The good news is that there’s a lot more for “Shifting Gears” to mine in this arena: we still haven’t met Riley’s brother, who could offer more context on her childhood, or ex-husband, with whom she’ll presumably have to co-parent.
