Name the new Car Talk TV show!

Hello - my dad absolutely thinks you guys just kick ass and he has got me hooked on your show as well! You guys were great in Disney Movie “Cars!!” My dad does not have access to computer, so he wanted me to post to you guys a suggestion for show name of “ROD KNOCKERS!” Good luck with choosing!!

  1. “All Dings Considered” or “All ‘Tings’ Considered”
  2. Good News Garage
  3. “Two Monkeys & a Wrench”
  4. “Unencumbered by the Thought Process”
  5. “Time Killers Weekly”
  6. “Mechanics Weakly”
  7. Click -n- Clack
  8. "Shameless Converse(ation)
  9. Car Talk - The TV Show
  10. Car Balk
  11. No Brainers
  12. Check Engine or Service Engine Soon
  13. BLACK ELECTRICAL TAPE
  14. Dome Lights
  15. Headlightz
  16. Dodge the Dart
  17. Clunkers
  18. Pass the Gas
  19. Doughnuts -n- Lugnuts
  20. The Tom & Ray Show

How about Lugnuts (or Lugnutz)? With this I hearby lay claim the drawing if “Lug Nuts”, “Luhgnuhtz”, or any other title that is phonetically or grammatically or otherwise similar to Lugnutz…

This could be twisted a bit by making Click and Clack’s last name some Italian name (Luhgnutzzi?) that is often mis-pronounced (A la Tom’s "Mr. MAG-LEE-OH-ZI story…)

Submitted without the benefit of a moment thought,

Yours truly.

Hi guys,

My suggestion would be “The Malodorous Automotive Adventures of Click and Clack.”

Best of luck!

My idea for your show is “The Mechanicals”. It relates to cars and is also the collective name of the insane, very comedic tradesmen in Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer’s Night Dream.”

How about “Live from Car Talk Plaza”.

Ok here goes. The Brothers Grime or Knuckle Head Soup(Stew or Pizza) or Mechanic’s Soup (Stew or Pizza)
Sofa So Good or Soup to Nuts…and Bolts or Don’t Drive Like My Brother or You’ve Squandered Another Perfectly Good Hour (Half Hour) or We’re Here To Talk About Cars or Doesn’t Anyone Screen These Calls!

“Are you auto your mind?”

Car Park

I imagine that there would be a park near to their main “set” so that people have a place to congregate. Alternatively, I can imagine the opening sequence showing a parking lot full of cars in a range of conditions and the neon sign is slowly losing power to the last three letters of the sign: “Car Parking”.

This name works because (a) it’s a mirror sound to the radio show, (b) it refers to space/place as a TV show would and a radio show cannot do well, and © it has rhythm - car park[ar parcar]

Other related proposals: “Car Part” or “Car Port”

I have two suggestions for the name of the new show, “Hahvahd Squayah” and “Our Fair City”.

“Is your check engine light on?”
After the most used question on the show.

Car Talk and Unabated Lousy Non-Sense

Squeek and Rattle — because everytime one of you squeeks out an answer the other rattle the cage by saying why it can’t be!

Click & Clark,
you’re driving me crazy!

Rely on Our Voices to Make Your Choices
My ideas are becoming lousier. Why couldn’t the show just be live? Surely it takes less money for a live-action show. Please tell me that animated Tom and Ray aren’t going to be put into horribly unlikely scenarios? I guess it’s youth-appeal. Everyone figures that the voices are great, but no one actually wants to SEE you. I hope you’ll appear in person for on-air promotions. Jackie Chan did it for HIS show; why not you? Also, doesn’t one of you have a son? How old is he again? Available is he?

“Dipsticks”.

Dear Click and Clack, and Producer-

Wake up and smell the Grease, Monkeys! What’s wrong with youse guys over there???!!! Are you crazy or what??!!

We love you to bits and pieces but who had the frick frackin’ idea to ask us what the frick frackin’ title of the cartoon show should be?!

There’s no contest! You already named the show!

“Click 'n Clack” wins hands down. Or, “Click 'n Clack!” Click 'n Clack is just plain brilliant! Just drop the “and” and leave it alone!

Tom and Ray, we love you! You are pure Heckle and Jeckle. With wrenches. Click 'n Clack is the best piece of titling in radio history.

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!
