Tim Allen and Jenna Elfman have addressed the age-gap romance between their characters Matt and Eve on the ABC sitcom "Shifting Gears." Allen told Us Weekly that the romance was introduced by the showrunner and that he initially felt "way too old" for Elfman, but the positive reception changed his mind. He noted that "the age difference is not much different than my wife and I" and that it "gets creepy for me at a certain age." Elfman praised Allen as a scene partner, saying he is "so confident as a comedic actor" and that they have enough confidence to explore scenes without being "paranoid about a joke not working." Allen said he doesn't prefer when the show has Elfman's character make jokes about the age gap, but acknowledged "it's admitting what is there."
