1958 TV Guides

TV Guide was a staple in my household when I was a kid. Mom always picked up a copy during her weekly grocery shopping trips to Safeway.

The thing I remember most was that the cost of TV Guide never appeared to go up in price.
It always sold for 15¢. For years and years. Never an increase.
Sadly, like a lot of things from my youth, TV Guide is no longer published here in Canada.

Listed below are TV Guide covers published in 1958. A chance to look back on some of the great shows that were broadcast during my formative years. Additional TV Guide covers to be added when available.

Clicking on the show title will direct you to that show's post on nostalgia & retrospection.

Latest addition:  January 26, 2012  The Thin Man - May 31, 1958
