| I can't remember a time, since I was a teen, when that show wasn't part of my weekend. I'm from Boston too, so they always felt a bit like family. Such a loss. |

+1 Their accents, wittiness, humility, laid back demeanor.... remind me of home..... HUGE loss. |

| Very sad. Used to listen to them with my dad - who also passed away from complications of Alzheimer's. |

OP here. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. 
The surviving Magliozzi brother has been behind the continued broadcast of the show for the last 2 years and he is supportive of future broadcasts of it. Of course, I agree that the truly sad part is that there will be no new shows. I believe a big part - probably the biggest part - of the magic in the show was the brothers' interaction with each other; it was never really a show about cars. |

I have to watch this later: 1995 interview with the brothers:
