Flipping around and saw Ebert & Roper was on. Started watching because they were reviewing Get Smart. Waiting for the thumb up/down and....it isn't there.

Now they have

See It
Rent It
Skip ItWhen did the thumb get the heave-ho? What is the world coming to?



P.S.-If this happened a year ago and has been discussed...Deal with it.

Yeah, I was outraged when I saw this too. It's okay, though; it was a Siskel & Ebert tradition and now none of them are around. :(

would anyone in the world, at this point, go "oh, it got 2 thumbs up. lets go see it!"?

Ebert hasn't even been on the show for like 2 years. I guess he plans to come back, but I bet the thumbs got tossed out when he had to leave.

Sorry doesn't put thumbs on the hand, Marge.

I read that Ebert trademarked the thumbs.

That show is done anyway. Roper is quitting and they are going with a completely new format this fall I think.

Ben Lyons and Ben Mankiewicz are the new hosts.
