How often has it happened?

How many times in the whole history of Siskel & Ebert, have they both gave every movie on a show two thumbs up, without a split vote or two thumbs down. I know viva the Siskel & Ebert website, that it has happened twice, in the last couple of years of Gene Siskel's life 2 shows that it happened. And I think I remember even seeing a third more in the early 1990's, that they did the same thing. But the 2 shows that I know for sure of the website that it happened, was the shows that they reviewed Howard Stern's movie Private Parts, and also the show that they reviewed You've Got Mail starting Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. You can check out http://www.siskelandebert.org and you can do a search for them.

I don't know about 'Siskel and Ebert,' but I recall this happening at least a few times on 'Ebert and Roeper.' I'm pretty sure that when 'Million Dollar Baby' came out, they also reviewed 'The Aviator' that week and I think even 'Hotel Rwanda' (I'm not 100% positive of the latter, though). I remember that they gave every movie thumbs up and Roeper even commented on how this episode was the best (in terms of the movies that they reviewed) since he had been there.

When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading!
