        And there are celebrities from the 60s you don’t know, current ones the teenagers of these days idolize and you haven’t heard their names. Just be happy that you found one of today’s lucky 10000.

      Even more relevant, his show Siskel & Ebert, was on at the end of cartoons on Saturday mornings.

      I’ve sort of explained how mid-80s TV worked when I was a kid to my 7y/o, but he probably just heard the ranting of an old fart.

        Even more specifically, Gene Siskel was the film snobbier critic on the Siskel & Ebert At The Movies show.

        His on-screen partner Roger Ebert had a much better sense of what was entertaining, while Siskel would give his “thumbs up” to more pretentious movies.

        Calvin is correct when he says Siskel would probably give a “thumbs down” to typical 80s Saturday morning cartoons, which yeah were mostly actually really bad.
