Additionally that includes the honking skills of a one Mr. Seann William Scott — he of Dude, The place’s My Automotive? fame, which we’re legally obligated to say anytime Scott and vehicles are talked about in tandem — and Daryl “Chill” Mitchell as staff of the traditional automotive restoration enterprise Matt owns, Shifting Gears will give attention to the reunion of Allen’s Matt together with his daughter Riley (Dennings) and her two youngsters (performed by Maxwell Simkins and Barrett Margolis) as they attempt to bridge the hole between them left by (spoiler alert?) the lifeless mom/spouse that used to maintain the household collectively.

Although Allen has spent a lot of the previous 20-some-odd years voicing the long-lasting Toy Story superhero (and in addition taking part in Santa Claus in The Santa Clause motion pictures), the actor additionally spent 9 seasons starring within the ABC-turned-FOX sitcom Final Man Standing. That collection targeted on Allen as Mike, “a fortunately married father of three daughters who finds himself the odd man out as he tries to take care of his manliness in a house surrounded by girls.” It ran for 194 episodes, and I’m wondering what Patricia Richardson thinks about that premise consistently.
