Check your local listings — “Car Talk” is coming to PBS this summer!
It’s an animated sitcom with Tom and Ray doing voiceovers for the main characters, but Crusty the mechanic appears as well, as does a radio producer named — get ready — Beth Totenbag.
There will be 10 new half-hour episodes over five weeks.
I can’t wait!
Back in the day, I interviewed the Car Talk guys when they were plai old Tom and Ray Magliozzi running a garage in Cambridge, Mass. I don’t know that I’ve interviewed anyone else who went on to become a cartoon character.
