TV Guide  — 

The absolute worst thing I can't stand about TV Guide is how free they are with spoilers about your favorite shows. If they're not blowing a plot point in the articles, they give you everything you (dont) need to know in the show descriptions.

TV Guide changed its format recently to something that is more like Entertainment Weekly - shorter articles with less substance, and more celebrity "fluff" than descriptions about shows. When they changed the size of the magazine to the larger glossy, they lost a lot of quality content. It is difficult to find out what is on when it isn't prime time, and the new grids give less room for details.

The on-screen guide that comes with your cable box (or TiVo) offers more description than the TV Guide Magazine, and as a result, I seldom read the magazine anymore. I will not renew when my subscription ends.

I haven't read a TV guide since they first changed the format to the larger pages. I just use the freebie that comes out in the local newspaper --it's pretty good and it's free! Thanks for sharing!
