What an awesome find! Siskel and Ebert look so young (Brokaw too). Simon tipped his hand when he said "...if I had them" (refering to kids). I bet if he had kids, or spent more time with them (or had a happier childhood himself?), then he might be singing a different tune. As it is, I agree with Siskel that I feel sorry for him. Siskel and Ebert rock!

Hey- that's my man Ted Koppel! (or as I like to call him "The Koppster") LOL!

I agree, if Simon had children, I think his perspective would've been different.

I read a bit of his bio, and it seems that had a bit of a notorious reputation for being a harsh critic of theater (mostly) and film.
