Truly the end of an era. Now all we have left are mostly anonymous internet based movie reviewers. I don't think anyone else will ever have his level of recognition or prominence.

I was a regular viewer of Siskel and Ebert's show back in the day. They were almost like an old married couple in their disagreements, but always entertaining to watch.

I also appreciated how they championed Laserdiscs back when a lot of people were probably unaware of the format.

The balcony has truly closed.
