Thread: 'At the Movies' canceled

What a shame. I started watching Siskel and Ebert years ago. Have many of the shows on tape . One of my favorite ones was when Roger and Gene went after the fake movie critics that movie studios use to sell movies. They had the guts to call the studios out on that. They still do it today however.

Both Gene and Roger had a show once when they talked about movies they didn't like at first but years later did. One was Slapshot.

One of the best shows.

Roger Ebert "deeply involved" in TV talks
Critic preparing new movie-review show, and promises, "the Thumbs will return"
By Associated Press

Roger Ebert says he and his wife are going ahead with plans to produce a new movie review television program with the working title "Roger Ebert presents At the Movies."

The famous movie reviewer wrote Thursday on his Chicago Sun-Times blog that he can't give details, but they're "deeply involved" in talks. Ebert says they've held video tests with potential hosts and they know who they will use. He says the new show would have a strong presence online.

The Pulitzer Prize-winning reviewer writes that he would like to make "occasional appearances" on the air. Ebert lost his ability to speak after cancer surgery.

Ebert also writes: "the Thumbs will return," referring to the well-known "thumbs up" and "thumbs down" reviews.
