ôIs that my GTO? I built that thing 15 years ago and somebody stole it,ö
Allen as Matt says in the trailer upon encountering a run-down car pulling
into his garage. Riley gets out with her kids and says, ôHey Dad,ö to which Allen replies, ôAnd there is the thief!ö

Back at MattÆs house, he recalls how when Riley left, she ôlooked back and
gave me the double bird.ö Riley responds, ôI was 18 ù the double bird is how
I ended all our conversations.ö

ôIÆm crawling home because IÆm broke and need a place to stay until I figure out what the rest of my life looks like,ö Riley tells her dad.

ôYou guys can stay here,ö he says. Riley replies, ôReally? Because I havenÆt changed a lot!ö

ôNeither have I!ö Matt says.

Other scenes indicate that their relationship rebuilding wonÆt be easy. ôCan
we try to talk to each other like rational adults?ö Riley asks her dad. Matt quips, ôHave you watched the news lately? ThatÆs not a thing anymore.ö

Most of the comments on the trailer express excitement over the project.

ôSo happy to see Tim Allen and Kat Dennings back in another sitcom and I love the fact that both are working together. IÆm definitely gonna be tuning in to watch this sitcom cause two of my favorite people are in it,ö one YouTube commenter wrote.

ôCannot wait! ABC used to be the home for the family comedy, and I truly hope this show is supported and does well,ö another person shared.

ôTim Allen is back,ö another person agreed.
