Not all stories about everyday life are equally good, and this show still relies too much on the silly storylines involving Angela and Ainsley. This week, they’re at a retirement home for an aerobics class that quickly turns into a party with drinks and dancing. The staff has been letting it happen because the residents enjoy themselves, but that changes when an unexpected inspection from Health and Human Services arrives.
I’m starting to think this season might be the last for the show, and honestly, it feels right. What’s different this time around is how openly everyone is acknowledging just how shaky Mike McLusky’s whole operation is. I’ve always teased him for his messy plans and his insistence on bringing peace to a seriously corrupt city, but this season, everyone else seems just as frustrated with the Mayor as I am. It’s actually really satisfying to watch!
Look, Tim Allen is funny, and that gets people to watch his show, but honestly, there’s just so much better family sitcom TV out there. I’ve been thinking about it, and shows like The Conners, All in the Family, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and Modern Family – they really hit different. I’ve put together a list of 10 that I think are better than Shifting Gears, and some of them have episodes that are genuinely some of the best sitcom TV ever made – stuff that feels more original and just makes you feel more.
Although science fiction shows aren’t required to be based on books, there’s a unique benefit to adapting from novels or book series.

The highly anticipated horror series Welcome to Derry debuted on HBO right before Halloween. It’s a prequel to the It movies directed by Andy and Barbara Muschietti, which were based on Stephen King’s 1986 novel. While the first season of Welcome to Derry runs until December 14th, fans of Stephen King won’t have to wait long – just two days later – for another captivating series to enjoy.
The movie The Northman features Alexander Skarsgård as Amleth, a Viking prince determined to avenge his father’s murder by his uncle. Released in theaters on April 22, 2022, the film didn’t perform well at the box office, earning only $69 million despite a $70 million budget. Unfortunately, this was common during the COVID-19 pandemic, when audiences were hesitant to risk money on films outside of major franchises like the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Fortunately, The Northman found success through video on demand and physical copies, reaching the #1 spot on iTunes and Blu-ray during its release weeks.
The ‘Waffle Party’ episode was the first time viewers saw the truly disturbing side of Lumon Industries – how it systematically exploits personal connection and profits from its employees’ inner selves. When the episode originally aired three years ago, it sparked countless theories about the show’s use of a seemingly harmless food as a corporate reward for Dylan G. This reward wasn’t just about pleasure; the way it was presented was deeply unsettling and bizarre.
