Thumbs No More!

Roger Ebert has decided to leave the show he helped start.  And he’s taking his trademarked catchphrase ‘Two thumbs up’ with him.  He came to decision because of  sparring partner Richard Roeper announced he was unable to come to new terms on a new contract extension.  This was a shock to everyone that both would leave the show - At the Movies With Ebert and Roeper at the same time.  Roger Ebert launced this show in 1975 with the late Gene Siskel.  Without Ebert and Roeper I don’t see this show going anywhere.  I say they should do whatever it takes to get them both back in the seat.  These two worked great together.  It’s a shame what these studios are doing today.
