The Season 2 premiere of “Shifting Gears” is packed with power – star power, that is.
The ABC sitcom will rev up the nostalgia on its Oct. 1 premiere (ABC, 8 ET/PT and streaming the next day on Hulu) when Tim Allen reunites with former costars from his '90s hit series “Home Improvement.”
The eight-season sitcom centered on Tim “The Tool Man” Taylor (Allen), who hosted a renovation show with flannel enthusiast Al Borland (Richard Karn) and their lovely assistant Heidi (Debbe Dunning). Tim and his better half, Jill (Patricia Richardson), raised three rambunctious sons – Brad (Zachery Ty Bryan), Randy (Jonathan Taylor Thomas) and Mark (Taran Noah Smith), who turned into '90s teen heartthrobs off the show. The Taylors’ wise neighbor Wilson (Earl Hindman) helped illuminate the error of Tim’s ways.
On “Shifting Gears” Allen portrays Matt, owner of a car restoration shop, who lost his wife to a heart attack. When he has trouble moving on, his friend Charlotte (Nancy Travis, Allen’s onscreen wife for 9 seasons on “Last Man Standing”) suggests a grief group. Enter Richardson, Karn and Dunning.
