Time Runs Out for "Ebert & Roeper"

In a rapid-fire end-of-an-era double-announcement, Richard Roeper and Roger Ebert are severering ties with their review show At the Movies. I always enjoyed Ebert (particularly in the old days) and I was fine with Roeper (he did have some of that old Gene Siskel man about town quality about him to temper uberintellectual Ebert). But it seemed as if a change was in the air anyway. I bet Roeper will be on the first plane to Los Angeles for some project or another (he apparently has another show lined up already).
