Last year we had a new dilemma. Our old TV died, and we had to get a new one. In a way, with the new digital conversion to take place this year, this was good. But a new TV was not the dilemma, the dilemma was a new entertainment center. In the past, a new TV did not mean that you had to change the large pieces of furniture in your house, but with the new style flat TV, this time it was necessary.

Now, I love our new TV, and so do all the men in the house who have to carry it. Our old 27” TV must have weighed around 200 lbs., but our new and larger TV weighs less than 50 lbs, so change is good. But the TV would not fit into our entertainment center, so shopping for a new one and finding the perfect one for our family room was our quest.

When it comes to entertainment centers, people have different requirements. The main requirement of my old entertainment center was one that could completely shut away the television. But that was when we lived in our old house and we only had a living room. With a separate family room now, that was not such an important feature. The main feature I was interested in this time was one that saved space. Our old entertainment center was very deep to close away the TV and took up a lot of floor space. We definitely did not need this anymore, so I was happy for the extra room. Our family room is narrow, so I only wanted something to hold the TV and the extra components.

Shopping for entertainment centers was fun, and the variety was larger than I expected. The new style TV has spawned a new style of entertainment centers, and old styles are available also. The main styles available included:



Entertainment wall units, these are the style that take up an entire wall and often include cupboards and shelves, which are great for books or display.

Entertainment armoires, which is the style I previously owned. You can close off the TV with doors.

TV lift cabinets, a style of entertainment centers that I was not familiar with, but very cool! These are only for the new TV designs. The back 9 or 10 inches of the cabinet top opens and the TV lifts up from down below. Since the TV takes up so little room, the cupboards below are fully functional for storage.

Corner entertainment centers.

Last buy not least, basic TV stands. TV stand styles have changed drastically with flat panel televisions, and they are often very modern and chic. Most have plenty of room for components on shelves underneath, and many offer matching shelving or audio towers.



For our needs, the two best style of entertainment centers were the basic TV stand and the TV lift cabinet. Some of the lift cabinets were very nice, they looked like fine pieces of furniture and were offered in many styles. If our TV was in the living room, I would definitely go for this option. But we settled for a basic pine TV stand. It is the perfect size, does not take up any excess room, and has enough shelves underneath for components. It is also only about half the width of our previous entertainment center, so the room now seems bigger. Yes, we are very happy with our new entertainment center and TV, plus, it is nice not to worry about getting a digital conversion box!

In the magazine industry today, there is hardly a magazine about entertainment that gets a story out without pulling strings or cutting corners. Instead of presenting real facts, entertainment magazines typically exaggerate and present their story in a manner intended to arouse strong interest. Entertainment Weekly doesn’t follow these rules. Providing reliable and real stories and focusing on prominent entertainment-related news, Entertainment Weekly is one of the best magazines on the market.

Being around since 1990, Entertainment Weekly (EW) gained instant success by providing mainstream news without being exactly an insider magazine. Relying on factual stories and featuring them with interesting interviews about hot shot celebrities, EW has managed to avoid being a gossip magazine. Instead of reading about the dirty laundry, Entertainment Weekly focuses on the backgrounds of the celebrities and their road to success without rumoring and gossiping.

Being consistent to its name, Entertainment Weekly comes out weekly with a brand new issue every Friday. Specializing in movie and TV entertainment but covering also anything related to pop culture, EW provides news that typically made the next cover stories in the news. The magazine keeps its readers informed about cable TV, the internet, movies and TV shows reviews and it features insightful articles that are purely informative.

The most interesting parts of Entertainment Weekly are the “Mail” where people comment about anything important on the entertainment industry, the “Must List” that includes ten great things that the magazine suggests people should see, read or hear, the “Movie reviews” where readers get into the major stories about forthcoming movies reading the reviews of famous movie critics and “The Closing Article” that varies each week covering anything that can be interesting. Entertainment Weekly features also breaking through actors, new televisions shows and reviews about dvds, TV, books and music.

Interesting cover photos, backstage stories, in-depth interviews and excellent, colourful photographs compose a really enjoyable magazine at a very attractive price. Coming at the price of $50 per year, Entertainment Weekly features also several bonus issues throughout the year covering major events in the entertainment industry.

On the other hand, there are people who are not so enthusiastic about Entertainment Weekly finding its content obnoxious and dull in the effort to be humorous.

Personally, I like Entertainment Weekly because it has its own personality and it gives me the facts, not the opinions of its columnists like many other magazines in the entertainment industry do. In that way, it helps me developing my own opinion, while providing me with details on the background of the celebrities in an insightful rather than in a gossipy manner.

I also like its movie reviews and grading from movie critics, along with an average grade ranging from A+ to F so that readers can fairly compare their tastes. While other magazines stress their own critics and present rather biased viewpoints, Entertainment Weekly is objective and offers a well-rounded criticism by comparing the reviews side by side.

To my view, Entertainment Weekly is a must for the people, who love entertainment.
