I was flipping through channels on Sunday and saw this. I thought it was a PBS created show to show what goes into a pledge drive...

I really hate "You Bet Your Garden," but nothing raises my ire like "Car Talk!"

Even my dad- a big Car Talk fan- said he won't be watching this.

“Ken Burns Presents Car Talk.”

That's pretty funny, though.

Any truth to the rumors that the creators of The Family Guy are behind this?

I saw that tonight and couldn't believe it either. How did this make it past the "Hey, you know what would make a great cartoon?!" phase?

Who does it appeal to? What demographic are they trying to reach? People don't want this, nobody wants this! I'm gonna pitch my 'Wait Wait Don't Tell Me' cartoon to PBS before they come out of it.
