OK I have given them several months to get into their groove. But it just isn't working for me. They have no chemistry together. It's like they are struggling to act like they are but it's just too obvious they are not. They talk over one another. Scott tries to be funny but it not. Something has to be done or I am going to stop watching their reviews. It's just too painful.
"They stalk those who prey upon them, therefore, hide your good works."
I don't agree that they suck, but I do agree that they don't have much chemistry. And I understand the desire for the show to immediately rebound from the Lyons debacle, but chemistry takes time. It certainly takes more than a few months, considering they may have never met each other before this year and they likely only spend a couple of hours together each week. (They don't even live in the same state!)
Siskel and Ebert had great chemistry because they had been working together for years before most people had heard of them. Roeper and Ebert did not have good chemistry at first, even though they worked at the same newspaper.
And I do agree about Scott, although I liked him when he was on with Roeper.

They should've done Roeper and Philips and brought back the thumbs and the balcony. You're right, I don't think this will catch on.

It's hard for me to decide which one of these tools is more annoying. After growing up with this show and watching it for 20 years, I've finally called it quits. Suck is exactly the right word. OK, I've decided. The one that plays the PC in the mac commercials is more annoying. He's so self-satisfied and thinks he is so clever when he really, really, is not. Beardy Magee is only slightly less annoying. Sigh, nothing to watch on a Sunday afternoon anymore..
When you're slapped you'll take it and like it.
