Not to be a Blog-Hog, but here are a few more:
The Lousy TV Show could be called:
One and a Half Men
Zeroes
If It Ain’t Broke,
We Can Fix IT
2 Wrong Brothers Don’t Make A Right
Click and Clack’s Lube Rack Pack
Lotsa Luck with Click and Clack or
Lotsa Luck with Tom and Ray or just
Lotsa Luck!
Potential Name Options - Followed by pithy comment
Don’t Listen to My Brother - Close tie-in
Cracked Heads - Obvious, perhaps, but why not
Head Gaskets - Leaky engine gestalt
Brokeback Car Rack - Metroautomatic
Blowhard Car Yard - License to exist
Car Quacks - Telling
Car Whisperers - Don’t we wish
MechIdioTs - Old School Ties
Mechanical Menaces, Maniacs, Menses, Mavins, Morons - The M&M Car company
Idiotsyncreties - Pure synergism
Socioparks - Probably good guys who like ladies - Like the Good Time Garage
Psychioparks - Probably bad guys who don’t
CaRX - Car doctors or wreckers
Because of the potential rich and varied content of the programs it may be appropriate to have a number of names, specific to episode content, as modifiers to a fairly straight-forward program identification, to wit:
The M&M Car Quack Show
This Week:
CaRX Psychioparks
With the best of intentions, and fully expecting to appear (extended cameo) on your show, I release all further rights to the above, unless you’d like to pay my going rate for this wordsmithing.

Oh great! The Lousy Radio Show wasn’t enough, now you’re
venturing into TV! There goes the neighborhood.
Proposed name for new show: (i’m sure thousands
(hundreds) will suggest this…)
It has to be called “Don’t Drive Like My Brother!!” (what else?!)
Victor Garrett
How about “The Bogus Boston Bozos”?
Ok, this should be something you claim you’re good at, like “Automotive Disinformation”, or “The Boat Payment Special” or “Tom and Rays Dysfunctional Mechanics Rest Home”. Hojo
How about: “A Life Less Bogus - The Semi-Adventures of Click & Clack”

Thanks for the note Dougie. Let the record show that I sent in two names immediately–about 10:05–to Havahd Squaya before you had this suggestion site up, and those names were “Knucklescrapers” and “Bogus Brothers.” I see others had similar/the same ideas! I never watch TV so I’m fortunately unlikely to see your lousy TV show, and I don’t know many names to spoof, but checking the Public TV listings prompts the following:
If it runs first thing in the morning you could call it “Meatball Street” or “Meathead Street”
Or mid-morning: It’s a “Big Bogus World”
Or closer to noon: “Smelling like an engine block” or “Smelling like a roadkill”
Evening: “These old mechanics”
Or since they prefer foreign cars that run smoothly, to domestic, there is “Un-American Idle.”
Finally, there is the phrase that my dear mom always used, when us kids were little, and she wanted to make sure we’d been to the bathroom before setting out on a trip in the car…“Have you drained your crankcase?”
At the risk of having to read all ten thousand entries to make sure mine are unique, I’ll just throw these out. If I stole your idea, it must have been a good one ;-)!

My suggestions run down memory lane. How about the name of your garage in ‘our fair city’, “The Good News Garage” as the title? After all, don’t we all have enough bad news, not all of it from our mechanics. Mine is Eduardo, and he often allays my fears with good news, of what I don’t need done to my '93 Subaru. My second suggestion is: “This Old Garage”, reminding PBS viewers of an old favorite, about home repairs. My third suggestion is: “Everybody Loves Tom and Ray”, reminding viewers of “Everybody Loves Raymond.” In that vein, I could recommend, “Everybody Hates Tom and Ray”, but won’t infringe on Chris Rock’s great show.
hi guys, just a weekly listener, love the show cannot wait to see the pbs show, i think you should call it : don’t drive like my brother. keep up the good work, take care lisarat
