After 33 years first as Siskel & Ebert and now as Ebert & Roeper, the show that introduced us to the phase Two Thumbs Up, will no longer grace the aire.   I can't believe it's been on so long.  Richard Roeper has been doing the show with a guest host since Roger Ebert's 2006 surgery that made it impossible to appear on air.  He stayed active behind the scenes.  Gene Siskel died in  at the age of 53 after succumbing to a brain tumor.  Disney could not come to terms with Roeper over a new contract and Ebert did not like the direction they wanted to take the show.   I will miss the show that I would base the movies I see or not see.

This is my semi annual profile update. Live in the West Fenway section of Boston with my cat Daisy (pictured). Came to Ma. about 30 years ago from Nu Yawk. If we had a conversation you would think I just got off the boat. I lived in Waltham, Bedford, Lowell and now Boston. Never ever was a sports fan in NY. My family hates that I am now a dedicated Red Sox Fan. I was in the Navy, I drove a Taxi in NY, I worked for the VA, and now have a disability retirement from the Post Office. I am a Jewish, Gay man in my mid 50's. I am a registered democrat who has voted for Nixon and Reagan and I don't care what you think about my social or political views.
