Fox recently debuted the new comedy series “Going Dutch,” starring Denis Leary as a conservative father who must reconnect with his estranged liberal daughter, played by Taylor Misiak. The show humorously tackles topics like political correctness and evolving societal norms. In contrast, ABC is set to premiere “Shifting Gears,” featuring Tim Allen as another conservative father trying to mend his relationship with his liberal daughter, portrayed by Kat Dennings. The show promises to deliver comedic moments while addressing generational differences and family dynamics.
“Shifting Gears” follows the story of Matt, played by Allen, a widowed garage owner who shares his amusing opinions on contemporary issues. When his daughter Riley, played by Dennings, returns to town with her children, they must navigate their strained relationship and find common ground. The show touches on themes of acceptance, growth, and familial bonds in a light-hearted and entertaining manner.

With a talented cast and relatable storylines, the show aims to entertain viewers with its witty dialogue and endearing characters. Tune in to see how Matt and Riley navigate their differences and learn to appreciate each other’s perspectives in this heartwarming and humorous series.
