Shifting Gears is staging a Home Improvement reunion. Patricia Richardson, Richard Karn, and Debbe Dunning will appear alongside former co-star Tim Allen in the season two premiere of the ABC sitcom. Home Improvement aired for eight seasons on ABC.
According to Deadline, details about the roles the trio will play are being kept under wraps, but they will help Allen’s character in Shifting Gears in an unexpected way.
Allen, Kat Dennings, Seann William Scott, Daryl Chill Mitchell, Maxwell Simkins, and Barrett Margolis star in the sitcom, which follows Matt (Allen), the stubborn and widowed garage owner specializing in fixing vintage and custom cars, after his daughter moves back home with her kids.
Shifting Gears returns to ABC on October 1st.
What do you think? Do you watch this ABC series? Are you excited to see the Home Improvement reunion?


Yes to all. For some reason I never watched Last Man Standing am now and it was Patricia and JTT was on it. And making notes about Santa Clause and Toy Story
I enjoy all 3 of Tim Allen’s sit coms. I’m looking forward to the reunion.
We have watched Home Improvement, Last man standing and reruns on those shows. But shifting gears is terrible and should be canceled. It is boring and has none of the interactios that both the other two serious and is terrible. Evidently this is what you are seeing by bringing back these folks. But if it’s a one time deal then cancel Shifting Gears.
Absolutely love ALL of Tim Allen’s work!!
So very excited for season 2 and hopefully many more seasons of “Shifting Gears” with casts and special guests stars 🙂
