The new sitcom premieres Wednesday on ABC
'Shifting Gears' stars Tim Allen, Kat Dennings talk on set fun and fab cars. The new sitcom premieres Wednesday at 8p|7c on ABC."So many people came to me so long ago and said, 'would you do another sitcom,'" Allen told On The Red Carpet when we visited the set.
"Now that her mom's gone and she's getting a divorce, she has to crawl home and admit that he was right about her husband and kind of face all that," she said."That's what motivated everything. My mom has some friends who've been through so much grief in their lives, and they still function every day," Allen said. "I've always appreciated that people have a sense of humor somewhere in it that nothing can stop that.
"So there's something really beautiful about seeing a father and daughter who don't have a lot in common on paper, but are kind of the same person. And that's where the comedy for me, comes out, too, because he and I in the show have extremely different styles... whatever. But we are so similar that the head-butting is just hilarious."
Allen's character Matt restores cars for a living, which seemed like a perfect fit for the self-proclaimed car guy. In fact, many of the cars you see on the set are from Allen's personal collection.
