Total waste of money
Total waste of money!! It used to be mandatory to pick up a copy of TV Guide at the grocery check out every week (they were right by the check out) but during the 1990's the stores stopped carrying it. I thought it went out of print! Everybody used to buy it as a necessity and suddenly it was gone. I started getting the TV listings from the newspaper-- inferior but at least it gave a listing of TV shows. Then I saw Amazon carrying it and was overjoyed to find an old friend. Alas this old friend has turned into gutter trash! First of all the listings are in the style of the newspaper and then only partial during the evening. No listings for daytime or late night viewing. No details about the programs. No listing of local channels. The listings are canned so the time zones don't even match! TV Guide should have gone out of print in the 1990's if this is what became of the once great magazine!!!
