I would argue that it the format than the people. If Siskel and Ebert were still alive, I'd imagine the show would still be going in some format. The problem was that, once Gene died, Roger was never able to find someone with whom he had any chemistry. The people who did end up with the job were all just bland and merge (in my mind) into one gooey and uninteresting mass. When he did have the chance to pick bold critics (Wesley Morris and Elvis Mitchell come immediately to mind), Roger passed.
