Yeah, that three reviewers thing was horrible, that's when I turned it off. As a huge fan of Siskel and Ebert and Roeper, I'm actually hurt about how the show is produced now.

Ben Mankiewicz is actually pretty good. I enjoy him on TCM and think he does a good job with this show - working with what he has. I almost get the feeling the producers are telling him to keep his analysis "light".
Ben Lyons is a moron. The only good thing about him being on the show is that I will know if he hates a movie, I'll love it and if he loves a movie, I'll think it's total garbage.
The 3 critics thing is a complete waste. Not a redeeming aspect to that segment at all (well, Kristy Lumire is pretty hot).

I caught "At the Movies" over the weekend. They have dropped all the new elements and are back to the previous format of two critics talking about movies. So basically they forced Roeper out for nothing. It's the same show with less popular hosts.
