Although Shifting Gears season 2, episode 1 did feature a Home Improvement reunion, fans of the classic ‘90s sitcom might be surprised to find out how maudlin it was. Shifting Gears is a Tim Allen vehicle , starring the perennial sitcom leading man as Matt, a widower whose estranged daughter Riley moves in with him and brings her teenage kids.

This premise drove season 1 of the traditional multicamera sitcom, a dysfunctional family comedy whose tone and style called to mind Allen’s earlier hits Last Man Standing and Home Improvement . Shifting Gears narrowly avoided cancellation despite season 1’s stellar ratings, and celebrated its season 2 return with a major reunion for Allen.
