nycsiag 0 Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 We have lost a legendary movie critic. He will be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad 276 Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Very sad and so sudden, he was quite a legend on ABC 7 and on Good Morning America. And to think that just last week he was on the air really just adds to the shock. He will be missed by many and I don't think anyone could ever be like the way he was. Anyway very sad news, and extremely tragic. He had died from Colon Cancer. I never knew that he had been battling cancer for all these years, because he looked healthy to many viewers. Anyway this is all very shocking. I'll get some captures from tonights rebroadcast of Eyewitness News at 5 and 6 from WABC-DT. If WABC and ABC is reading this, my heart and condolences go out to them on this trying time. Regards, -Vlad :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewzPimpin 1 Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 He suffered from colon cancer. He was 63. http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=3324632&page=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amra 130 Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Shocking, unexpected. May Joel Rest in Peace. Godspeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewzPimpin 1 Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 On another note, why do some of you people use the NY board like it's the General TV board? In this case, it's correct. Joel also worked for channel 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceHawk447 17 Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Here's to Joel Siegel...not only a four-star critic, but overall, a four-star person. May his soul find rest and may his families, both blood and television, find comfort. :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
first on fox 18 Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 I met him at GMA. Nicest guy ever. RIP Joel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamsvoice 0 Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Very sad news, but folks can take something out of this...and it's nothing to make light of. If you're 50 or over, get a colon screening. We've lost quite a few good people in this world over the last few years to colon cancer, and the only way to know what's going on is to be screened. Back to Joel...he was a great film critic and a great human being. He will indeed be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njlady 1 Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 I was watching the 6PM newscast. He was on Eyewitness news for over 30 years and Bill Ritter was near tears after he announced Joel Siegel's death. He was very vocal about his cancer and wrote a book a few years ago for his young son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasTVNews 1367 Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Unreal and sad. My condolences and hearts go out to his family and extended family at ABC 7 Eyewitness News, Joel will be deeply missed. :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WXmanTim 88 Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 26 years on Good Morning America means he was there from, pretty much, the time I started watching at four years old (I prefered GMA to Sesame Street or morning cartoons). So terribly sad, like losing a member of the family almost. Rest in peace, Mr. Siegel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hgguy 0 Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 My condolences to the Siegel family and WABC and Good Morning America he was one of my favorite movie critics. He was a part of a bygone area where most major market stations had full time entertainment critics Like Garry Franklyn, David Sheehan, Robert Osborne (and to a lessor degree Sam Rubin [last man standing in the movie review game on TV news]) here LA, Roger Ebert and the late Gene Siskel (Ebert I belive was WLS and Siskel at WBBM I think); Joyce Kulhawik in WBZ 4 News in Boston,Joel Siegel at Eyewitness News and Gene Shalit of News Channel 4 when viewrs wanted a quick but articulate movie review without picking up a newspaper;they provide a service thats now seem sadly obsolete.

stevieboy247 42 Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I always grew up watching his movie reviews on Good Morning America. He was definitely a great guy and there will never be another one like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceManNYR 222 Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 GMA is doing a special show on Joel on Monday. I guess Diane will be back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
