Yessss this just has the sound! But you'd be hard pressed to name a band of the time that had this sound in every song. It was mostly just a sound of production music of the time. You'd have to look into Jazz artists and even then. Most prolific jazz artist's wouldn't be caught dead playing this lol.

We loved them, we hated them, but somehow it was comforting to know that Siskel & Ebert were always out there loose in society watching and reviewing movies. With them both gone, there's an empty void in the movie critic community that can never be filled. RIP, guys. 👍👎

The only problem with them is that they gave a thumbs down to The Chipmunk Adventure.

Takes me back to lazy Saturday and Sunday afternoons when we still watched local television channels

As a kid in the 90’s, Sunday evenings were bittersweet. The weekend was almost over, but not before Siskel & Ebert. Even if I never got to see most of the movies they reviewed, it was still important to tune in and watch & listen to these two gentlemen talk movies 🎥 🍿. Sadly, the balcony is closed for good.

I love how the cab driver knows exactly where to go and confirms with a single thumbs up! 👍🏼 😂 man I miss the eighties!

I have to admit the opening theme music is great. There will be no entertainment critics like Siskel and Ebert any more. These two gentle men were the best entertainment critics the world over. Siskel and Ebert both have stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. There is a statue of Roger Ebert sitting on a bench in front of a movie theater in Central Illinois. Siskel and Ebert both RIP.

One pays tribute to the other way before the other death.

Nothing beats a good ol' 80's sax solo.

There will be no other entertainment critics like Siskel and Ebert. They are by far the best in field. Siskel and Ebert have appeared in a variety of TV talk shows. Also they were semi regulars on the Gary Shendlin show. Gene Siskel and Rodger Ebert appeared on the animated hit TV series The Critic and I think Family Guy and other TV series. Gene Siskel and Rodger Ebert were entertainment critics who worked for two Chicago newspapers. Gene worked for the Chicago Sun times and Rodger Ebert worked for the Chicago Tribune. Both Siskel and Ebert once had a show on public television called What's New At The Movies aired from the late 69 to the 1970s. Also they had a show on CBS in the early 80s I think aired on Saturday nights at 6:30 pm. Finally with Siskel and Ebert becoming an over night success they signed on with Buena Vista Studios ( Owned by Disney) to be the hosts of their own syndicated entertainment critics TV network show. They are loved by millions and so dearly missed. Siskel and Ebert RIP.

This is so good! I really enjoyed this intro and it sure does take me back. I miss both of them very much; Rest In Peace Gene and Roger.

As long as as there is a director, writer, critic or any professional in the ART of film who cares about what he makes, shows love to it and can make people feel different and new things with it, they'll be immortal.

Legends... may the both rest in peace arguing endlessly in heaven :3

THAT'S SO SAD ABOUT SISKEL AND EBERT RIP LEGENDARY ICONS.

Woah, Mike and Jay looked different in the 90's.

R.I.P. Siskel and Ebert, you will be missed :(

Didn't always agree with their reviews, but both were very thought-provoking writers. I remember when Gene Siskel on Phil Donahue or Oprah tried to let down a Poltergeist fan gently when he told them, "I didn't like it."

You have no idea how long I looked for this song in the description for The Internet & You

Almost forgot to watch this today.

I just wish this was the long extended version of the TV theme.

GENE SISKEL - Chicago Tribune ROGER EBERT - Chicago Sun Times

SO SMOOTH SOOTHING AND DANCY AND CATCHY CATCHY!!

I don't think it was that cheesy. It could have been, but no.

It took me two years to figure out that when there were new hosts of at the movies that Siskel and Ebert had a new show

It was always funny watching their specials where they make an attempt to be hip and can't pull it off, and yet at the same time, they were the original hipsters.

Loved this show. Loved this opening. Always looked forward to this on a Saturday afternoon. It was one of the few ways to see scenes from new films minus trailers, commercials, or late night talk shows. I was always interested in S&E’s take on a film, even if it didn’t deter me from seeing something I really wanted to see, I still respected their takes on films.

I love this TV theme song!

used to have to wait until the early morning (2 am at the latest) on a sunday to see this. but i remember this intro fondly. r.i.p. to them both.

RIP Roger Ebert, 1942-2013, we have lost another legenday film critic. Two Thumbs Up is now history, and the show is now cancelled. The question is, who's gonna replace Ebert? : (

This is the BEST EBERT INTRO!!!!!!!

When you hear the theme, you know it's Sunday Eve!!

The '80s was a smooth jazz song.

Look at Eberts hair, it looks like a hair piece and Siskel, hell he actually does have hair. HA! I can relate, I had goofy hair in the past and NO hair at all! (Laughing turns to crying)

@ insaneapples: In the Twin Cities where I reside, Twin Cities Public Television's (TPT's) weekly politics program Almanac has been using Dave Grusin's "Anthem Internationale" since its debut in 1984 -- in comparison to your comment, this song has been used as its theme for nearly 30 years.

The theme song is too awesome to be a theme song for my show on KZread. Iced Out Radio News with Kevin Piland couldn’t use it but rather play it as a background during announcements.

This episode is the Gene Siskel tribute.

Siskel and Ebert didn't die, God just wanted film critics.

This was the theme to my Summer Saturdays during high school when I would go to the movies with whoever I was dating at that time.

The beginning of this intro is similar to that of the sitcom "Perfect Strangers", which took place in Chicago and Siskel and Ebert worked for different newspapers for the city of Chicago. In the "Perfect Strangers" opening, Larry and Balki are riding the boat on the Chicago River!

"I enjoyed this intro, I thought it was well paced and catchy..." "I thought it was awful, not nearly enough bickering between the two of us..."

I wonder what they would think of some of the movies out now.

Nice
