Riepilogo
Reviewers say 'Shifting Gears' has a strong Tim Allen's performance and relatable family dynamics. However, the excessive use of canned laughter is criticized as distracting and unfunny. The chemistry between Tim Allen and Kat Dennings is questioned. Some appreciate the show's attempt to address political and generational divides, while others find the writing stale. The acting of the supporting cast, especially the children, receives varied feedback. While some see potential, many are disappointed with the execution.
Recensioni in evidenza
Painfully bad & clichés galore!
Kat D thinks her witty sarcastic attitude is always a flex,no matter what she gets cast in.. Would enjoy seeing if she can act,beyond just one style.
Tim seems to feel he can micromanage things from script,etc.. Unfortunately that's his downfall it leaves things stale,because it resembles his past series.
The laugh track doesn't make things funny,but more like your watching a play or guess what.. Cheesy sitcom.
The kids are wrongly cast & not good either.
Also boring another show about a widow getting his life complicated,with shocker.. Kids!
Sean(Former Apple Pie)wasn't great,but made things less insufferable.
I think better direction,script & casting may of improved things.. The acting was flat & you didn't connect with any main characters,because they felt unlikable.
Don't see this making it beyond season one,actually don't see myself making it for episode 2 but will give it another try.. "Maybe" it will find its place & become better.

Here I was thinking Tim Allen and Kat Denning, 2 actors I actually like, were going to blow it out of the park. 2 episodes in and all I can think is how long till they cancel this. Tim is the exact same character hes always been but theres no spring in his step. Its a stiff performance. Maybe he's trying to adapt to the character and hasnt nailed it yet.
Kat for the most part is phoning it in. Shes acting like shes in 2 Broke Girls but without the clever sexual innuendos. She was much better in Thor and Wandavision.
This just seems flat to me. I'll watch it for now, but I think this one wont get any legs to it. Its just not funny and the canned laughter is over done.

I'm quite enjoying this sitcom so far. The laugh track does not bother me, actually I find sitcoms with laugh tracks to be enjoyable and light hearted. It's not about telling me when to laugh but rather about feeling like I'm laughing along with an audience. It makes me feel like I'm there and that it's more of a "show".
I'm very excited to see Tim, Kat, Seam and Daryl interact, they are all favourites from separate shows and were great in those so I expect they will be great in this one.
So far I've watched the first 2 episodes and I think it's getting into it's groove. They are getting more into their characters and it's getting funnier. Every show needs a few episodes for us to get to know them and their rhythm, so let's see how this one's gonna be.

The cast is great. Sean William Scott needed a new sitcom. His role is perfect for him. Love Tim Allen and all the callbacks to his previous hits. Nice to see Daryl Mitchell again after NCIS NOLA was canceled. But Kat Demmings is the lag.
Riley's exactly the same character as Max from 2 Broke Girls. The same sarcasm and one liner style...same slutty/drunk/party girl backstory as Max. There's virtually no separation between the 2 characters. The only difference is Riley has loving parents and no yellow waitress uniform.
Demmings' character in 2 Broke Girls worked. But in this show...it's already getting old and I'm on the 7th episode now. Hopefully they can change it up a bit by the end of the season. It's funny but her character being soooo similar to her previous series...makes you feel like you're at the end of the series rather than the first season. I'm afraid there won't be a season two without some kind of change with her character. There's great potential with such a good cast.

Nothing new or fresh here. The laugh track is embarrassing for what normally would not be laughs. The punchlines are way too predictable, which makes the laugh track pointless. Characters are too cliche'. Storylines as well. This is sitcom style from the 80s when streaming or pay TV was not in play. Now that it is, how can this be on the air? How desperate were the actors for work to sign on to this? Did they not read the script and think: "this type of garbage has been done over and over and over" We're better off watching a blank screen, or better yet quality programming from a pay or streaming service. Cancel this show and save these actors lives....... Unless they want to fall in to obscurity.
