Retro Friday: Remembering Siskel & Ebert

August 1, 2008

The recent announcement that Roger Ebert had ended his association with “At the Movies” — as well as Richard Roeper — repped the end of an era. Ebert still promises to find a new home for the famous thumbs (a trademark he owns with Gene Siskel’s widow), but it’s clear that the glory days of Siskel & Ebert are long over. Here’s a clip from 1982, when the duo were still hosts of PBS’ “Sneak Previews.” Quite an episode: “ET,” “Poltergeist,” “Rocky III” and “Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid” were all reviewed in this episode.
