The new tv show Click and Clack is pretty good, especially considering
it's animated.

I know who Click and Clack are, but am I supposed to know who the
other characters are, the girl, the black guy, the well-dressed guy,
the old lady, the Slavic mechanic? Are they on the radio show at all,
or what?

No idea. However, Click and Clack are on now, and they adressed the show
as letter from someone who had watched it. The writer mentioned that the
Marx brothers once made a terrible movie "The Big Store" so they would
have money to rescue Chico from gambling debts. The writer went on to ask
which of the two Click and Clack brothers had the gambling debt. C&C
didn't adress the quality of their show, though.

It sounds like a case of hoping their celebrity would carry the show, and
there was no need (as another poster mentions) of having good writers and
a director who can throw the bad stuff away.

The radio show sucks too, IMO. It's long ago gone from a useful and
informative how-to aimed at backyard mechanics, to a pathetic forum
aimed at the unwashed masses, complete with lame jokes and calls that
have nothing to do with repairing cars.

Cases in point: A male caller asks which new $75,000 car would be a
better buy, and a female caller asks whether she should buy the house
with the steep driveway since her car bottoms out at the crest of it.
