AT THE MOVIES returning to PBS

Roger Ebert has announced that At the Movies, the long-running TV show he co-hosted, first with Gene Siskel and later with Steve Roper, will be returning to PBS in January. Christine Lemire and Elvis Mitchell will host, with Ebert (who sadly lost his voice to cancer a while back) contributing commentary via a new, synthesized voice assembled from clips of his old reviews.

I wish I was thrilled about the news, but the promo clip above doesn't fill me with hope. Mitchell and Lemire seem pretty stiff, there's no chemistry there yet. Here's hoping they can kick out the kinks by January.
