Click & Clack's As The Wrench Turns
Credit: Car Talk TV
Well-known NPR personalities Tom and Ray Magliozzi, better known as Click and Clack, the Tappet brothers, bring their automotive insights and comedic adventures to television. Their series follows the "on-and off-air" escapades of the Tappet brothers as they try to fix cars, fend off disgruntled customers and seek out increasingly creative ways to goof off. The 10 episodes take place at Car Talk Plaza, a fictional building that houses their radio studio and their famed garage in Harvard Square in the fair city of Cambridge, Massachusetts. Some of the misadventures involve competition with a nearby garage staffed by sexy hunks, a looming run-in with the feds and their two-man campaign for president.
