 Written on July 17, 2007 Summary: Frustrated long-time subscriber ready to switch (UPDATED REVIEW) Having been a subscriber to EW since its inception (I think it was $10 a year because it was so new), I think I'm qualified to say that the magazine has gone down in quality, readability, and interest. I only keep up my subscription because the competition is even worse, though I'm still looking. I would also have to say it's occurred in the last 5-6 years. A second redesign, which is rather quite awful, and almost a new editorial focus. The problem with EW isn't that it isn't good, it's that it tries so HARD to be good it misses the point completely. The first section of the magazine is the News & Notes. Here we have paragraph-long articles that sound like they were written by your father trying to sound cool to his teenage daughter's friends. That's followed by Spotlight (which is indistinguishable from N&N), which tries even harder to be cool and hip and awesome without actually hitting the mark. Things like 'My worst audition ever...", "What's on my mind [name of actor]", "[This Person] is so five minutes from now", and more uninteresting claptrap that is bathroom worthy. Next we have the three or four LONG pieces, in which only one, maybe two, is of real interest, and the rest are so boring you have to wonder who is calling the shots at their editorial meetings. Finally, the reviews. This is where I usually turn to with each new issue as they feel independent of the rest of the magazine. The only section in dire need of an overhaul is the TV review section. It's so blase, and they cover so few new or old shows, and spend SO much time on shows only available to premium HBO subscribers, you have to wonder what they are thinking. If they want to work for HBO or Showtime, then they should. But the focus on premium cable channels that the majority of people don't subscribe to is out of proportion. Review these shows in the DVD section as that's when most people finally get to see them. And the entire "What to Watch" should be chucked. This is supposed to be a guide to "notable" programs. But 90% of the shows they include as Watchworthy are panned by them in their two-sentence summations. Here's an example of show we should watch: "Heartland: This episode kinda sorta suggests West Virginians are backwater racists. Man, the ones with electricity are gonna be pissed." Wow, and that summary was actually kinda sorta understandable. Any idea what the show is about? No. Any idea who's in the show? No. Sound like the show is "notable?" Absolutely not. Written by a fourth grader? Probably. So since EW really has no competition in this genre, I'll keep waiting. If anyone has a better alternative, leave a comment. I'm ready to make the switch. One star for being in color, and one star for a good Movie section. UPDATE: Well, EW recently went through a complete redesign (June 2008) both graphically and editorially. I have to say I'm very impressed. If I could change my rating, I would give it FOUR. Many of the complaints I list above have disappeared, new features have been added, and the slick update is overdue. It's as if new life has been blown between the covers (that sounds weird!). Anyway, I've renewed my subscription for at least 2 more years and am happy they are listening to their customers. I still can't give it five stars until they revamp or remove the What To Watch editorializing in the TV section. Just not funny or helpful. Why can't we get a tv guide-like synopsis in a humorous way? I would also love to see any actual download link for songs they say you can download from ew.com. Try finding them and you get a gold star. And then share with us what to do.  Written on May 17, 2007 Summary: best magazine ever I love this magazine! If you love movies, books, music, television, it has it all. It deals with the industries and doesn't focus on the lives of the celebs like many other mags. Amazon has the best price around and they send you an email when it's time to renew. It's great. Written on March 14, 2007 Summary: Entertainment Weekly I am not receiving the magazines yet. When was I supposed to start??? Written on March 8, 2007 Summary: entertainment weekly subscription have had subscription for many years for this magazine and the renewal time was very quick and the process very easy. Great magazine that covers all types of media: movies, TV, books, Broadway... Really good staff writers & weekly columns. Written on March 8, 2007 Summary: Fresh Prince Dude. Fresh wit, actual personality, and .. I dunno. In my mind, the nearly-perfectest entertainment magazine. The TV section near the back is ALWAYS laugh-out-loud. Definitely worth the money. :D |
