Tom Magliozzi, of 'Car Talk', dies at 77 from Alzheimer's complications

[QUOTE]
In 1987 Car Talk went national on NPR. The Magliozzi brothers were a huge success. Listeners loved their blend of humor, passion, expertise and just plain silliness.
Tom and his brother, Ray, became famous as "Click and Clack the Tappet Brothers" on the weekly NPR show Car Talk. They bantered, told jokes, laughed and sometimes even gave pretty good advice to listeners who called in with their car troubles.
[B]Tom and Ray haven't done the show live for two years; Car Talk has been airing archives of old shows. Ray would like to continue doing that, as a tribute to his brother.[/B]

Boy, this is really sad. Everyone I know listened to this show growing up.

I [I]still [/I]listen to car talk on the weekends. I didn't realize it hasn't been live for two years.

They haven't done a show live for two years? That's news to me.

Car Talk at 10, followed by Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me at 11 every Saturday was my childhood.

Oh damn, I listen to them all the time on my commute to work and I never realized the recordings are over two years old. These guys are great, I hope NPR continues to play their show.

Same. For a year and a half I worked every Saturday, by myself, for a medical equipment company. Part of the Saturday routine, be it driving around or working in the warehouse, was spending the morning listening to Car Talk and Wait, Wait.

This is very sad.

Damn, I would always listen to them on weekend drives.
