The George Wendt Show


The George Wendt Show is an American sitcom television series that aired on CBS from March 8 to April 12, 1995. Based on the public radio show Car Talk, the series was a star vehicle for George Wendt after co-starring in the NBC sitcom Cheers throughout its run. However, the series was a ratings failure and was canceled after six episodes aired, out of the eight episodes produced.

Premise

The series revolved around George and Dan Coleman, two wise-cracking brothers who own a car garage in Madison, Wisconsin. In addition to running the garage, they were also hosts of Points and Plugs, a call-in radio show about car repair. However, the brothers would mostly get caught up in a number of crazy situations unrelated to cars. For instance, one episode focused on George having an itchy rash, a Halloween episode had George confront the spirit of his Uncle Lou and another had the brothers chaperone a high school prom.
