Tim Allen exclusively told Us Weekly about basing his 'Shifting Gears' character off his own experiences
Tim Allen is proud of how his Shifting Gears character differs from his past sitcom roles — starting with not being a typical 'man's man.'
'From the very beginning, that we've never seen Tim Allen in a sitcom with a romantic interest. And I said, 'Well, I've just lost my wife so I don't see it.' So I love where we are,' Allen told Us. 'I said, 'If it happens over time and happens organically with two people that do not get along then it is OK. I just am really cautious about this. I just want it to happen where it's organic and proper.
'The Nancy Travis story is really, really clever,' Allen teased before reflecting on his offscreen friendship with Travis. 'Nancy Travis once told me after I called her during Last Man Standing. I said, 'Have you talked to the girls over the summer?' Then there's this long pause and she goes, 'Tim, these aren't our daughters and I'm not actually your wife.
