Yeah, but what about the articles?

The "writers" of TV Guide have also declined in their ability to use words like "a," "an," and "the."

If I wanted crappy gossip, I'd buy a crappy gossip magazine. The front slick section of TV Guide is supposed to be about the review, an occasional wacky "Best of" list, the episode descriptions, and Cheers and Jeers.

The larger format hasn't made the grids any bigger, there are no daytime listings, and it doesn't fit on the arm of the chair under the remote the way it used to.

Even if I can't see more than 72 hours into my viewing future, there is far more utility to the digital on-screen guide.
