Gets me wondering... When was the last time something game show-related made the cover of TV Guide?
-
Regis or Ken Jennings?
-
I wanna say Regis, too.
-
They did a 50 Greatest Game Shows at some point as well, didn't they?

2/2/01, Regis and Alex on the cover. Could Bob Barker have been on the cover around his retirement?

Just did a quick glance through Wiki's covers archive (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_TV_Guide_covers_(2000s)). Other than some reality/competition shows, the Reege/Alex cover is indeed the last one, although the year 2006 is incomplete, so maybe Howie Mandel made it onto a cover right after D/ND debuted?
No Barker (or Drew) covers in 2007.
Wiki says that there are three covers for the upcoming game shows issue, one for each host, of course.

True, but only because I canceled my subscription after they changed the format.
-
Today I learned that TV Guide is still a thing.
Also that TV Guide's cover has the same format as every other magazine that my wife gets.
-
I'm a subscriber and I got one with Steve Harvey.

Today I learned that TV Guide costs $4.99. I got a copy with Strahan on the cover and read the article.
-
$4 frickin' 99? Sheesh.
Our public library gives us 65 different magazine subscriptions for free. TV Guide isn't one of them.

I'm not exactly sure what I'm paying with a subscription, but it's less than fifty cents an issue.

The current offer looks to be $16.50 for 48 weeks, 56 if you pay by credit card.
30¢/week isn't bad, but I have better things to put it towards.

Still too much for current format!

Just for giggles, I looked up the subscription price from 40 years ago this week (I only have four back issues of TV Guide, but one of them is the Bicentennial issue - and who remembers when the Bicentennial was a thing?).
No subscription card left in the magazine, but the blurb at the bottom of the masthead had $9.50 for one year, which would have been less than 19 cents an issue. You kids have it good by comparison.

Interestingly, that is why I got into TVG collecting. I found the library didn't subscribe, thus no back issues there. That was 1974, when the mag had relevant content and local listings. I have every issue since then stored at a climate controlled facility way cross town.

You're right, I don't see TV Guide every day; in fact it has to have been a solid ten years since I have touched one. :)
