Back in the 80s, Siskel and Ebert were the most popular movie critic duo on television and many fans liked their thumbs up and thumbs down trademark similar to how Rotten Tomatoes does their ratings as well as Metacritic and of course IMDB!!! The duo first made their debut on public tv on Chicago station WTTW and then in the 80s moved to syndication with Tribune before expanding with a 90s show under Disney ownership years before they died. A cartoon called The Critic was a hit with fans and lampooned Siskel and Ebert.
