it's not their age so much...

after Ebert got sick, Roeper had some young critics that were quite intelligent and interesting. I am willing to give these young critics some time to settle in- but they need to go into more depth. This show has always been a Reader's Digest version of a full review- but now they are taking it to an extreme. Each of the 5 critics on their panel gets about 2 sentences. It's a mess.

When someone with intelligence and knowledge gets a couple minutes, they can be both entertaining and informative- as Ebert was, as were guest hosts A.O. Scott and Michael Phillips. And Roeper himself was OK.

Of the 2 hosts, Ben Lyons is the son of Jeffry Lyons, who at one point was on one of these 2-critic movie review shows. This takes nepotism too far- he's so lightweight he almost floats away. The other one, from Turner Classic Movies, seems to have something to say if they give him enough time to say it.
