Omni

MeTV fans said that they missed Omni, a sci-fi magazine with writing about science, and parapsychology. Omni featured short fictional works from Orson Scott Card, George R.R. Martin, and Stephen King. Fans said the artwork was always top-notch and that Omni was one of the best science magazines out there.

Famous Monsters of Filmland

With an audience that loves Svengoolie, should we be surprised to see this name mentioned so frequently? This genre-specific magazine inspired many other horror-focused periodicals that still exist today. There have been attempted reboots and an annual issue, but that's just not the same. In a pre-internet era, our commenters talked about rushing to the mailbox to get the first look at what creatures Hollywood was creating next.

McCall's

Our commenters fondly remember anxiously waiting for their mothers, aunts, and grandmothers to finish reading so they could cut out the paper dolls within McCall's. In addition to the dolls, this magazine contained a write-in column from Eleanor Roosevelt and a cartoon called It's All in the Family by the creators of the Berenstain Bears.

Hit Parader

This music magazine started as a rock and pop-focused publication but shifted to hard rock and heavy metal in the '80s. Some commenters missed the general music magazine, while others pined for their favorite heavy metal subscription. 

16

Our fans waxed nostalgic about getting the lighthearted, teenage girl-focused 16, which featured swoon-worthy teen idols like Elvis, The Monkees, and Herman's Hermits. One commenter mentioned reading the magazine solely for pictures of Donny Osmond.

National Lampoon

It's likely that some younger folks only know the name National Lampoon from the Vacation movies. But our commenters know better! This satirical, often surreal humor magazine shaped the humor of a generation.
