Kat Dennings is singing the praises of her Shifting Gears co-star Tim Allen, calling their collaboration a highlight of her career. The duo leads the new ABC sitcom, which centers on Matt (Allen), a widowed owner of a classic car restoration shop, as his estranged daughter Riley (Dennings) and her two kids move back into his home. Dennings previously made her mark in the multi-cam sitcom genre as the star of 2 Broke Girls, which ran for six successful seasons on CBS. Shifting Gears airs Wednesdays at 8pm Est on ABC.

In an interview with People, Dennings shared her admiration for Allen as they take on their roles as an unconventional father-daughter duo. She noted the remarkable bond Allen has with his long-standing production crew, many of whom have worked with him since Home Improvement and Last Man Standing. Dennings also reflected on their on-screen chemistry, particularly enjoying scenes where their characters butt heads.
