Siskel died in 1999 and Ebert has been MIA for a few years now. They were the main reason to watch At The Movies, since it's now easy to see previews and opinions on films about to open.
So I'm not too broken up about the end of the Richard Roeper era. I suppose I may check out the new version with Ben Lyons and Ben Mankiewicz, but if this show completely disappeared, I don't think anyone would notice.

Siskel was always my barometer for movies. If he liked it, I'd like it. Also, he had a certain sensibility about low-brow (i.e. trashy) movies that I appreciated.
For someone who wrote "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls", Ebert always seemed to have his nose a little bit too elevated, you know? Still, I read - and continue to read - his reviews and he'll be missed when he's gone.
