Tim Allen, 71, returns to the small screen with new ABC comedy series Shifting Gears alongside Kat Dennings


More than 30 years after his iconic TV series Home Improvement debuted on ABC, Tim Allen is finally returning to the network.

Forgive and Forget, which starred Modern Family's Ty Burrell, also shot its pilot in June, though ABC will not be moving forward with that series. The show would have followed Burrell as a man who received an unexpected medical diagnosis and tries to reconnect with his adult son (Sean Rodriguez Marquette). When Shifting Gears ultimately joins the ABC lineup, it will be only the third comedy series at the network, alongside Abbott Elementary and The Conners, which will air its final season in 2025.
