TV Guide  — 

I have read the original TV Guide magazine from several years ago avidly.  I waited quite some time  for the new look to take place and purchased several of these magazines hoping for it's "new look" to also have a great addition of change.  Unfortunatley, there was none.

While the magazine changed from a small little magazine to a big one full of color and zillions of pictures, articles and bits to boot, the appearance was great.  The articles were  well-written, and some were fun.  Others contained tons of gossip, and others were more information than you really want to know, similar to a tabloid.   The photos were fantabulous. But there was one thing missing...

The main purpose of the magazine was originally to list television shows, giving a brief description as to what time they air, as well as what they are about-so you would know what you were watching.   You no longer get that.  Instead, a list is all you pretty much get.  Very little is given to you about what  a movie is about, so you will know if you do or do not like it.  Odd that they rate it, though.  As for cable channels, not all are listed.  There is NO listing for night owls, or weekenders, either.   Once in awhile, I pull one from the shelf to see if there are any changes, but sorry, no change.  I thought it was supposed to be a TV GUIDE?
