ABSTRACT:

TV’s newest team of thumbs-up, thumbs-down TV film critics is… Shales and Ebert?

Tom Shales, the Pulitzer Prize-winning TV critic for the Washington Post, is going to be sitting in for movie maven Gene Siskel, who has taken a leave of absence to fully recover from brain surgery he had last spring.

Shales is the first of several guest critics who will substitute for Siskel during the next seven months.
