\tABC has greenlit the multi-camera comedy \u201cShifting Gears\u201d starring Tim Allen and Kat Dennings, Variety has learned. \tThe show was originally ordered to pilot at ABC back in March. However, the show is undergoing some changes both in front of and behind the camera. Mike Scully and Julie Thacker Scully \u2014 who were originally announced as writers and executive producers on \u201cShifting Gears \u2014 have exited the series. They will be credited as executive producers on the pilot episode. The search is now on for a new showrunner. \tIn addition, Froy Gutierrez had originally been cast in the role of Nick in the pilot, but that role will now be recast as the show goes to series. \t\t\t \t\t\tPopular on Variety\t\t \t \t\t \t \tThe official logline for the series states that Allen stars as Matt, \u201cthe stubborn, widowed owner of a classic car restoration shop. When Matt\u2019s estranged daughter (Dennings) and her teenage kids move into his house, the real restoration begins.\u201d \t \tThe cast also includes Daryl \u201cChill\u201d Mitchell as Stitch, Maxwell Simkins as Carter, and Barrett Margolis as Georgia. \tAllen serves as an executive producer in the series along with Marty Adelstein, Becky Clements, Richard Baker, Rick Messina and John Pasquin. Pasquin also directed the pilot. As mentioned above, Scully and Thacker Scully are executive producers on the pilot episode. Dennings is a producer. 20th Television is the studio. \tAllen previously starred in the ABC and Disney mutli-cam hit \u201cHome Improvement\u201d from 1991-1999. He then returned to the network with the comedy series \u201cLast Man Standing,\u201d which aired for six seasons at ABC and another three at Fox. \tAs it stands, ABC currently has few scripted comedies on its roster. The hit single-cam show \u201cAbbott Elementary\u201d is due back for its fourth season on Oct. 9, while the seventh and final season of \u201cThe Conners\u201d is expected to bow at midseason. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
