I miss Walter Monheit.

I miss Wondertime.

Posted by Mindy on Tuesday, May 4, 2010 @ 02:03 PM

Definitely Gourmet. Ruth Reichl is a legend.

Posted by Greer Jonas on Tuesday, May 4, 2010 @ 02:05 PM

Never has the phrase "Get a Life!" meant so much. Impossible to imitate. Never duplicated. And probably the only one here that would be a bore on any digital dirge.

Posted by James Spina on Tuesday, May 4, 2010 @ 02:06 PM

The magazine I miss the most is Martha Stewart's Blueprint. That magazine was brilliant.

Posted by Mauri on Tuesday, May 4, 2010 @ 02:10 PM

was Met Home also formerly Apartment Life?

Posted by John Woods on Tuesday, May 4, 2010 @ 02:24 PM

The standard, even before Ruth R. Nothing comes close.

Posted by joan feldman on Tuesday, May 4, 2010 @ 02:40 PM

I think i miss Mirabella and George the most.

John - Met home did start its run in the 1970s as Apartment Life.

Posted by Jim on Tuesday, May 4, 2010 @ 03:31 PM

Yes Met Home was originally published in 1974 as Apartment Life

Posted by Greer on Tuesday, May 4, 2010 @ 03:42 PM

I still thumb through old, dog-eared copies of Domino.

Posted by Kelly on Tuesday, May 4, 2010 @ 08:09 PM

Brill's Content-- we need a journalism watchdog more than ever.

Posted by RIL on Wednesday, May 5, 2010 @ 07:56 AM

Gourmet was like coming home to a wonderful meal every month.

Posted by n veldran on Wednesday, May 5, 2010 @ 10:53 AM

Bring back Domino magazine! Innovative ideas for the home that weren't overly expensive- I still keep my back issues.

Posted by Sally on Wednesday, May 5, 2010 @ 11:07 AM

Domino, for sure, but I also think House & Garden was a great shelter title.

Posted by Karin Strom on Wednesday, May 5, 2010 @ 11:40 AM

I miss the fotos, the touches of real life, seeing inside the lives of ordinary people and those famous (whether deserved or manufactured) as well....

Posted by steve on Wednesday, May 5, 2010 @ 11:42 AM

What about Wigwag? If Wigwag were still around, NONE of this would have happened.

Posted by Sam Schulman on Wednesday, May 5, 2010 @ 03:31 PM

Why pick just one? There are so many...

Posted by Darcy on Wednesday, May 5, 2010 @ 03:33 PM

Verklempt, is how I feel walking into the newsstand knowing that Metropolitan Home won't be there. In the Kubler-Ross grief cycle I'm at "bargaining"; so someone out there, how about just plugging this thing in again as a web site? Please....

Posted by Alison Johns on Wednesday, May 5, 2010 @ 03:34 PM

Bring back Domino!

Posted by consult on Wednesday, May 5, 2010 @ 04:00 PM

I miss Jane and Sassy.

Posted by cupofjones on Wednesday, May 5, 2010 @ 06:22 PM

You've got the timing of The Industry Standard wrong. I think it was founded around 96 or 97. By 99, it was going strong.

Posted by Jason Pontin on Friday, May 7, 2010 @ 11:18 AM

I miss Spy, Sassy, and Nickelodeon.

Posted by soosan on Friday, May 7, 2010 @ 11:21 AM

I love magazines so much that I made a short video about them at www.diaryofaluddite.com (search: magazine).

Posted by Helen on Friday, May 7, 2010 @ 11:25 AM

I kept all my 1986-89 copies of Spy; more than twenty years on, the sheer volume of ideas and creativity is astounding. Perhaps even more than most defunct magazines, though, Spy had a time and place -- it withered and died for a reason, and a revival would likely just be sad.

Posted by Matthew B on Friday, May 7, 2010 @ 11:29 AM

I miss Spy's social commentary. It made me laugh.

Posted by PattyFab on Friday, May 7, 2010 @ 11:32 AM

Wow! I'm surprised nobody's mentioned "The Face"! The definitive publication of my formative years...

Posted by Pema on Friday, May 7, 2010 @ 11:57 AM

I miss Blueprint from Martha Stewart. That magazine was THE BEST.

Posted by tiffany on Friday, May 7, 2010 @ 12:21 PM

I.D., Emigre, Lingua Franca, ArtIssues, New Art Examiner, Cookie, FLYP.

Posted by zatopa on Friday, May 7, 2010 @ 01:26 PM

I miss Domino!! Every time I look at my old issues I can't believe there won't be any more coming in the mail...

Posted by christina on Friday, May 7, 2010 @ 01:33 PM

I miss Budget Living more than all of the above!

Posted by Julie Mihaly on Friday, May 7, 2010 @ 02:24 PM

Domino was beautiful and truly useful, full of great ideas and information. I saved every copy and still consult them regularly. Amateurs, professional decorators, everyone loved it. Such a shame it's gone.

Posted by Kathleen on Friday, May 7, 2010 @ 02:25 PM

Sassy. DoubleTake. Grand Street. The Quarterly. Antaeus.

Posted by LJ on Friday, May 7, 2010 @ 02:46 PM

DoubleTake

Posted by mheilman on Friday, May 7, 2010 @ 03:22 PM

I wonder what The Industry Standard would have made of social networking?

Posted by Ron Mwangaguhunga on Friday, May 7, 2010 @ 04:12 PM

I miss Domino, because it was written for people who are young, handy and creative.

Posted by Johanna on Friday, May 7, 2010 @ 04:27 PM

Domino was simply the best decorating magazine ever

Posted by Delany Faulk on Friday, May 7, 2010 @ 04:53 PM

Right you are Jason about the timing of the Industry Standard. It's premiere issue was in April 27, 1998. ID ran strongly as a weekly during the dotcom craze until its collapse in 2001. We changed the chart. Thanks

Posted by Greer on Friday, May 7, 2010 @ 05:24 PM

Lingua Franca!

Posted by PermanentGradStudent on Friday, May 7, 2010 @ 10:52 PM

American Film -- the classiest, smartest movie mag ever.

Posted by rws on Sunday, May 9, 2010 @ 07:06 AM

because it was a very intelligent magazine

Posted by nicholas theodore on Monday, May 10, 2010 @ 02:05 PM

Shift--the coolest magazine ever!

Posted by lou on Monday, May 10, 2010 @ 02:40 PM

JANE!

Posted by lindsay on Tuesday, May 11, 2010 @ 11:03 PM

I miss Domino very much. And Jane too. Both left holes that are completely unfilled.

Posted by CC on Wednesday, May 12, 2010 @ 10:38 AM

No other magazine fills the void left by Domino. Ditto for Mirabella, American Film, Gourmet. And the re-vamped More and Bon Appetit are terrible ~ I wish publishers and editors would not break what doesn't need their idea of fixing.

Posted by Kristine on Wednesday, May 12, 2010 @ 12:51 PM

My Domino Magazines are like gold. If there was a fire in my house they would be the only material things I would have to grab! It was filled with timeless design and insight. The editors were excellect! Bring it back!!

Posted by LizF on Thursday, May 13, 2010 @ 02:07 AM

Don't forget Saturday Night!

Posted by Shannon on Thursday, May 13, 2010 @ 10:02 AM

I miss Suede Magazine. Everything that Essence and Ebony should be.

Posted by Septembre on Sunday, May 16, 2010 @ 11:05 PM

Definitely Domino. There is nothing else out there even close to it.
