Without Gene, we wouldn't have movie critics on television. Did you know that Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert was their original inspiration, which led to their famous "thumbs up, thumbs down" ratings system. The Associated Press had a very nice obituary: https://apnews.com/article/gene-shalit-dies-b8ed6f4b7054e530e5fba9a808902cca At least, he leaves the same age as two other NBC legends in George Burns and Bob Hope. Had legendary NCAA men's basketball head coach John Wooden lived another four months and 10 days, he would have been 100. What else can you say, but what a guy he was. There will never be another one, that's for sure. |
