Sometimes I think we genuinely take for granted the fact that we can watch anything ever made, on demand, any time we want, on a device that fits in our pocket. There was a time not that long ago when you had to get a magazine in the mail just to know what was on TV. TV Guide showed up once a week, and you planned around it.

What we didn’t realize at the time was that they were accidentally creating a time capsule of television and pop culture with every single cover they published. The shows that defined entire eras and celebrities who were everywhere all at once.

TV Guide archived their covers on their website and going through them is a genuinely strange and specific kind of nostalgia trip. These ones are from the 2000s, and you may even remember seeing some of these.
