A new primetime cartoon I'm into...


Click and Clack's As the Wrench Turns is another attempt at animation in primetime. The previous example, Game Over, was a short lived show, got poor ratings and got canceled after 6 episodes. Since this stars 2 people from a real radio talk show (Car Talk), it has potential. This show is sorta like an animated version of what the Flight of the Conchords did with their own live-action show (but more PG instead of MA rated, though the comedy is aimed to mature audiences). Good episodes of this series find an excelling balance between comedy and situational actions.

What's surprising is that one of the designers from Kim Possible is in the cast for this show. Notice the trademark slender legs from that series? They are most noticeable on the female characters.

I also want to know what graphic designers think of this show, full episodes are up on pbs.org to see (although they are de-interlaced from 480i and the show is natively 1080p (which I LOVE.))
