Tim Allen’s new ABC sitcom “Shifting Gears” is revving its ratings engine. According to ABC, the series now stands as the most-watched ABC series premiere on streaming to date, via first seven days of views on both Hulu and the Hulu portion of Disney+.

Ben Affleck was spotted returning to his Pacific Palisades home hours after he evacuated the mansion and fled to ex-wife Jennifer Garner’s house due to the rapidly spreading Los Angeles wildfires. The Good Will Hunting star, 52, could be seen driving back to his $20 million house, which was miraculously still standing after the fires...

The series also stars Seann William Scott, Daryl Mitchell, Maxwell Simkins and Barrett Margolis. Jenna Elfman will be a recurring guest star.

Allen’s Matt is a beleaguered widower, lonely after his wife’s recent passing. He runs an auto shop that fixes up old cars (the man can never be too far from a tool chest), which he keeps pristinely clean and organized, just like his home.

Tim Allen stars as a curmudgeonly father and Kat Dennings as his estranged daughter in this ABC multicam sitcom that features some sociopolitical humor.

In his latest network outing, Allen plays a widower named Matt who owns a garage that specializes in classic cars. But, as ABC teases in its promotional material, his most difficult restoration project arrives when his daughter, Riley, who’s getting divorced, moves back home with his two grandkids in tow.

Yep, it's another story of a conservative father and a somewhat more liberal daughter having to end a lengthy estrangement.

Tim Allen comedies are still a big draw, apparently, because the premiere of his latest series Shifting Gears has set an audience record for ABC. In the seven days since it debuted on January 8, the first episode has amassed nearly 17M multi-platform viewers across ABC,

The "Abbott Elementary" and "It's Alway Sunny in Philadelphia" crossover also marked a series high with more than 8 million viewers You are reading an exclusive WrapPRO article for free. Want to level up your entertainment career?
