Ahead of her guest appearance on ABC's 'Shifting Gears,' Nancy Travis opens up to PEOPLE about the most difficult part of working with her 'Last Man Standing' costar Tim Allen.

Mike and Vanessa Baxter, is that you?! No, not quite, but Tim Allen and Nancy Travis are having a Last Man Standing reunion in the February 12 episode of Shifting Gears. Swooon has an official first look at the ABC comedy’s Valentine’s Day episode and the unconventional meet-cute between Matt (Allen) and Charlotte (Travis).

Natural, because Shifting Gears is the story of Allen’s character Matt, the stubborn, widowed owner of a classic car restoration shop. So, on the ninth episode of the comedy, airing March 12, Leno plays himself, and he brings his car into Parker Customs for repair.

Jay Leno will make a cameo as himself in episode 109 of Shifting Gears, Allen’s new comedy in which he plays a stubborn, widowed owner of a classic car restoration shop. Leno brings his car into Allen’s shop, Parker Customs, for repair. No word on whether car came from Leno’s actual fleet. The episode will air March 12.

Tim Allen is in his happy place. He's leaving the Disney lot in Burbank, California, after another day of shooting his new hit ABC sitcom, "Shifting Gears" (Wednesdays, 8 EST/PST and streaming the next day on Hulu), and hopping into his 1,000-horse power Tesla Plaid. (Cue that signature Neanderthal grunt.)

Jay Leno reunites with Tim Allen on ABC's Shifting Gears after recovering from his injury. Read on to know the details.

Sitcom icons Tim Allen, beloved for shows like Home Improvement and Last Man Standing, and Kat Dennings, known for her role in 2 Broke Girls, have joined forces in the all-new ABC comedy Shifting Gears—and we can’t get enough of their hilarious chemistry on-screen as a father-daughter duo!

Ultimately, it's working. Kat Dennings is a great live studio audience sparring partner, and the two of them have a real-life commonality as well. Shifting Gears already hit a milestone at ABC, so here's hoping it stays on the air long enough to reach a future where there's some sitcom crossover like on Last Man Standing.

Tim Allen recently launched his third starring sitcom, Shifting Gears, which has already become a smash hit in the ratings. But at 71, Allen realizes that his time on network television may be coming to an end.
