ABC is back in the comedy game this fall of the 2025 TV schedule with Shifting Gears, starring Tim Allen and Kat Dennings. While those two brought plenty of sitcom power on their own to the first season as vets of Home Improvement and 2 Broke Girls, Season 2 has already packed in some standout guest stars, and now another is on the way. A King of the Hill vet is bringing her live-action talents to Shifting Gears, but it's the character she's playing that has me scratching my head.
Pamela Adlon, known for projects like Better Things, Californication, and one very memorable role on Elsbeth as well as King of the Hill, has been cast to guest-star as Gabriel's single mom, according to THR. While it's not hard to imagine the 59-year-old Adlon fitting in with the Shifting Gears crew, it's worth noting that Seann William Scott plays Gabriel, and the actor is 49 years old. Ten years is a very small age difference between on-screen mother and on-screen son!
