TV Guide–Ooh, ooh, ooh, It’s Got a New Attitude!

Updated on October 20, 2005 By Ken Begg 12 Comments

I’ve been looking over the New Size, New Attitude, New Magazine TV Guide. Apparently the heralded New Attitude consists of a) more and bigger pictures, b) People Weekly-esque bite sized puff blurbs, and c) cluelessly horrible puns and painfully lame japery.

The cover promises “39 Pages of Listings You’ll Love,” which seems a dubious assertion, even taking into account the fact that I’m not sure whether we’re meant to love the pages or the listings.

They also blurb their new “Hot List: 21 Gotta-See Shows”. Presumably NBC has trademarked the phrase “Must See,” so TV Guide came up with their own clever alternative. Moreover, that fresh-from-the-streets slangy ‘gotta’ dishes out the promised New Attitude…in spades!!

More to come on this important cultural event!!
