"CAR TALK" GUYS GO ANIMATED
Oh my, NPR's "Car Talk" is going to PBS...as a cartoon!
Beginning tomorrow, PBS tries to tap into the popularity of "Car Talk" by putting a new spin on the show, a cartoon called "Click & Clack's As the Wrench Turns." The stars of the Boston-based radio show, Tom and Ray Magliozzi, reportedly own the new television show, which will air mostly during Prime Time hours.
I'm not sure this is on the same caliber as "The War" or "Carrier," but I guess PBS may be trying to appeal to a different audience than those who like shows about history, nature and "Britcoms." Let's wait and see if it works.
