Before I go into details, let me say that by any fair measure, "Ebert Presents At The Movies" has been a great success. The program has a coverage of more than 90% of the country, and all of the top 50 markets. Our ratings place us among the top shows on public television, and compare to the ratings of cable news.

Too bad advertisers don't pay for "coverage."

We watch Turner Classics with Robert Osborne. He is so great.

The last two reviews I read by Ebert clearly showed he’d not attended (or attended but didn’t pay attention to) the movies he was reviewing. Good riddance.

Hey Ebert, GTH.

Maybe if you didn’t publicly mock us we’d watch your little show.

Roger Ebert is a typical leftie jerk. But I would have thought that was what the viewers of Public TV want to see. He is a very famous leftie jerk, after all.

It is the internet age. People who care about a review are going online.

It’s strange. I feel nothing.

Any movie made in Chicago or actor from Chicago always got a Thumbs Up from Ebert.

I blame Roger for the fact that John Cusack ever made it past a screen test.

I’ve never seen the show. Do you recommend it?

Perhaps if you had avoided ignorant political pronouncements and PC inanities, you might have saved your cushy (essentially useless) program, you blowhard!

I can't remember even the hint of ever deciding which movie to see or avoid based on the opinions of Jabba the Hutt. Of course, it's been more than a decade since I have watched him at all.
