While I realize you are new to DU and do welcome you, I'd strongly suggest you learn that not everyone on DU is going to share your opinions or ideas.

Petition to cancel an already cancelled show? Really? This is hardly a Democrat/Progressive ACTIVIST issue... Is that what you think Democrats/Progressives on the leading Democratic internet forum should spend their time doing?

I might suggest that you take the discussion to the DU Lounge as there are generally plenty of opinions on entertainment expressed there and you might well find some of common mind. As evidenced by the fact you think they are called "Frick and Frack" rather than Click and Clack, I'd guess you were never a real fan to begin with. Too bad as they could be hilariously funny and a nice Saturday morning diversion. Regardless, NPR will undoubtedly monitor listener volume and make decisions accordingly--with or without a petition.

Are you speaking for uhnope? LessLawnFewerCars Nov 2013 #33

I was speaking to you, since you were the last to post in what is otherwise a zombie thread BainsBane Nov 2013 #34

If it is a zombie thread, then why respond? Now you've resurrected it into something else. LessLawnFewerCars Nov 2013 #35

Car worship? Hardly. The show is just a discussion of things that go wrong with cars The Velveteen Ocelot Nov 2013 #41

I love Car Talk! I don't care if they are running old shows. The Velveteen Ocelot Nov 2013 #40
