While we think Shifting Gears is slowly finding its legs, we only laughed once during the Season 2 premiere, and really don’t have much confidence the show will get any funnier than that. Go to Full Review

Jill D @Writer01 Feb 6 We use to enjoy this show until the writers thought it was funny in degrading Canadians and in degrading a wholesome faith. Someone once said, " sarcasm is anger's ugly cousin." Also that a joke is only a joke when everyone can laugh. That was not comedy, that was purely a shot at two different groups which we don't find funny at all. There is enough division in the world, why make " comedy" a tool in causing more divisions? Poor taste. Tim Allen and his cast and especially the writers should know better. Do better, " Shifting Gears", or I can bet that this show will lose a lot more viewers.

Also love the fact that the storyline is not telling you what you should think or filled with a bunch of po lit ical mess. They just concentrated on the funny things about everyday life. See more diane d @Diane0220 Feb 1 Really like the show! Carter finally starting to not sound so rehearsed. HATE the casting of brother Sam this guy just doesn’t fit the role. Hope they look into recasting. Wish they hadn’t got rid of girlfriend too See more Hisami M. @hiSami Jan 25 I like it. Can’t wait for more Jesse too! Great addition See more 69MUSTANGE C @RT49599087 Jan 15 This only 1 of 2 shows we even watch on ABC! However Season 2 Episode 10 if they are gonna start the woke gay shit then we will only be down to 1 show on ABC and it's not the View or any of the primetime shit! I'm surprised that Tim Allen actually went along with this episode! Hopefully it's a one off but we don't watch Woke garbage! See more love H. @horrorfan123 Dec 23 Huge improvement I like this show a lot See more Read all reviews
