Description
In April 1953, the three most popular “pre-national” titles were combined by Walter Annenberg’s Triangle Publications into the national weekly TV Guide, which rapidly became the best-selling magazine in America in the decades prior to the digital and cable revolutions. The cover illustration features I Love Lucy, which was so popular that water companies noted a significant spike in usage during its commercial breaks!
