Well with the new fall TV season coming up I thought I would get The TV Guide to catch up on all the new shows. Does anyone else get it?

Not yet, but I may check it out to see if there are any promising series coming out this fall! Thanks for the info!

I always check out the annual Fall Preview issue of TV Guide.

I even have a copy of the very first Fall Preview issue (1953)!

You're lucky. I have everyone since 1982.

I still get it through the mail, but I liked TV Guide better when it was a small, rectangular magazine and when it had local listings for different areas.

I stopped ordering it in 2007 because they changed it AGAIN after the big change in 2005 to the Magazine format. I will buy the Fall preview though but that's it

You're really not missing much. I don't even use it for listings anymore.

Well I wasn't that interested in it during the smmer months because it wasn't any TV Show news due to the Hitaus so TV guides have always been USELESS during the summer months-lol

I have the Fall Preview issues for 1953, 1961, 1965, and 1979-2007. I'd love
to have the missing years, but they cost too much on eBay. (In case you're
curious, I paid $36.00 for the '53 issue, $10.51 for '61, and $22.01 for '65 (not all at
the same time) .. back when I was earning big bucks!

I agree with you about ebay, in order for me to buy a TV guide it has to be $5.00 or less with shipping and handling included.

I miss the old TV Guide format. It's become another trashy entertainment magazine.

Yeah, that was my first impression when they changed the format nearly three years ago: just an Entertainment Weekly wannabe! Ah, well ...
another tradition bites the dust!

tv guide was at its pinnacle in the early 90's. their mag. sucks now its only a matter of time before they cease publication entirely.

As much as I hate to say it, it's true. Plus, I have TiVo so I don't really need to use the listings anymore. I miss the OLD TV Guide! I hate that they had to make it so much bigger than it was before!

You know I get them delivered just because I always have and I don't want to stop the collection...I haven't even opened one since the season ended in May. I just stack them on a table and get ready to box them.
