What's New at Car Talk Plaza?
A chance to name our new
(expected-to-be), lousy (just like the radio show) TV show, that's what!
That's right. Car Talk is coming
to TV.
Wait! Don't throw out the new 52-inch
HD plasma yet! You won't have to see our REAL faces. The show is animated.
Next summer, PBS will be besmirching
its good name by launching a prime-time, animated situation comedy based
on Car Talk. (Apparently, the 24/7 "All Antique Road Show"
scheme was nixed when they realized the cast and crew always goes to
bed by 8:30 P.M.)
The problem? We need a name for our
show. A good name. Something that says Car Talk, or Click and Clack,
so folks know it's us, but is less lame than "The Car Talk TV Show,"
or something like that.
That's where you come in.
Got an idea for a name for the new
Car Talk animated series? We want to hear from
you.
Want some inspiration? You can check
out a few just-released details and images from the new Car Talk series.
Yours in defiling more public broadcasting,

P.S. If we choose your suggestion, you'll receive a cameo in one of the
episodes of the new series. No kidding!
(Small print: We write your lines, and, no, we can't get Jim Lehrer
to jump out of your next birthday cake. Sorry.)
P.P.S. Here's this
week's Lame Joke of the Week, courtesy of Randy Betancourt in Raleigh, North Carolina:
A Red Sox fan liked
to amuse himself by scaring every Yankees' fan he saw strutting down
the street in an obnoxious NY pinstripe shirt. He would swerve his van
as if to hit them, then swerve back just missing them. One day while driving
along, he saw a priest. He thought he would do a good deed, so he pulled
over and asked the priest, "Where are you going, Father?"
"I'm going to
give Mass at St. Francis Church, about two miles down the road,"
replied the priest.
"Climb in,
Father. I'll give you a lift!"
The priest climbed
into the passenger seat, and they continued down the road. Suddenly, the
driver saw a Yankees' fan walking down the road, and he instinctively
swerved as if to hit him. But, as usual, he swerved back onto the road
just in time. Even though he was certain that he had missed the guy,
he still heard a loud THUD. Not knowing where the noise came from, he
glanced in his mirrors but still didn't see anything. He then remembered
the priest, and he turned to the priest and said, "Sorry Father, I
almost hit that Yankees' fan."
"That's OK,"
replied the priest "I got him with the door."
