5.0 out of 5 stars
Yesterday and Today,
By Bobby Underwood "starlighthotel" (Manly NSW, Australia) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Saturday Evening Post (Magazine)
It is probably images of Norman Rockwell's America which are called to mind whenever The Saturday Evening Post is mentioned these days. Steeped in the nostalgia of times remembered with great affection, the magazine has survived by keeping up with the times while remaining grounded to that America. Always interesting, funny and informative, it far outshines those shallow and empty magazines full of fluff and advertisements rather than substance.
Though primarily designed with baby-boomers and more mature readers in mind, almost anyone can find something of interest between the covers. Whether it's gardening, food, health, or nostalgia, The Saturday Evening Post has it. There is no Britney here, nor Paris, but rather a fabulous Suzanne Somers, even more delicious at 60 than at 20, and with more to offer. Tony Bennet and his paintings were recently featured and fans discovered another side to the crooner. Even the Post's humor has class. You can forget about the more heralded cartoons of the liberal New Yorker. The Saturday Evening Post has, by far, the funniest cartoons of any magazine out there. Strategically spaced throughout the magazine, there is always a good laugh waiting as we turn the pages. Grounded in day-to-day life rather than politics or taboo subjects, they truly deliver on the promise of laughter when others often let us down. Fitzgerald and Rawlings could once be found in the ink on the Post's pages. And who could ever forget all those Rockwell images which once were a staple of the magazine? The Post will still ocasionally grace the cover with one of these portraits of America as we once knew it, keeping touch with a link which grows weaker with each passing decade. Rockwell's Christmas image of Tiny Tim happily graced the cover of the Nov./Dec. 2006 issue, in which I was greatly surprised to find my own words in the article, "Family Viewing for the Holidays." My comments on "Mrs. Miniver" with Greer Garson, and "The Bishop's Wife," starring Cary Grant and Loretta Young, had both been quoted, the latter at length. Though only mentioned as an Amazon Reviewer, had I not already been a long-time subscriber and champion of this link to our past, I probably would have been swayed in that direction afterward. The Saturday Evening Post continues to be substance over fluff, the way we were and would like to remain, rather than the way we quite sadly, have at times, become. It always feels a bit nostalgic leafing through The Saturday Evening Post while drinking a Coke. Maybe that's what makes it worth the small price it costs to be delivered to my mailbox. Of course, there's the whole Suzanne Somers factor to consider also...

Suitable for every age,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Saturday Evening Post (Magazine)
I first read this magazine when I was a little girl; my grandmother kept some old issues in our Minnesota lake cabin and on rainy days, I would curl up on the sofa and pour over the articles. I still enjoy the recipes, the amusing articles and the comic pages. It's a treat to sit down and read it!

Will the real Saturday Evening Post please stand up?,
This review is from: The Saturday Evening Post (Magazine)
I was very excited and pleased to receive as a gift several recent copies of The Saturday Evening Post magazine. I remembered the issues I read in the time of my youth and looked forward to time to read these new issues. The name of the magazine is the same and there are still cartoons, maybe even more cartoons, that are witty. Other than those two things, the new magazine is nothing like the magazine one thinks of when one says The Saturday Evening Post. This magazine is an impostor using an honored name to profit while peddling fluff and hype. Of course, keep in mind that I was looking for something from my youth and that is not always reasonable nor realistic. Don't buy it for its name or you'll likely be disappointed. However, without preconceived expectations, you may fine the magazine enjoyable.
