PBS names "Car Talk" cartoon

PBS has confirmed the title of its first-ever animated sitcom, based on the hit NPR show "Car Talk" starring Tom and Ray Magliozzi.

As the real life animated duo say on their Web site:

"That's right — thanks to the creative brainpower of Car Talk listener Geoff Groff (of Lancaster, Penn.), our new TV show finally can be called something other than, "that animated thing we're working on with PBS."

It's, "Click and Clack's As the Wrench Turns."

Good work, Geoff!

Now, the bad news: For having his suggestion selected, Geoff scored himself a cameo in an upcoming episode of, "Click and Clack's As the Wrench Turns." We figure it's only fair. The infamy that will haunt him for the rest of his days will more than offset the pride and joy he's experiencing right now."

The show, which follows the on and off-air adventures of the dynamic duo in ten 30-minute episodes, will premiere this summer.
