Kids (1970s Magazine)
''Kids'' was a children's magazine (unrelated to the later ''Kids'' magazine of the 2000s) published in Cambridge, Massachusetts and later New York City from 1970 to 1975. Its aim was to create a magazine which was, as much as possible, created and edited by children themselves, with minimal adult supervision. Its founding editors were Jenette Kahn and Jim Robinson, who were adults. However, later in its history, it had a teenager, Denise Yuspeh (age 15), as its managing editor. Originally, ''Kids'' was published in standard magazine size, but issues near the end of its run used a smaller page size. The format was full color with a heavy cardboard stock glossy cover. The covers were exceptionally well designed and stylistic of the 1970s. ''Kids'' accepted contributions of stories, poems, essays, puzzles, artwork, cartoons and photography from children aged 5 through 15, and held frequent contests for the most creative photographs, signs, buttons, etc. Monthly newspaper-like feat ...

Magazines Disestablished In 1975
A magazine is a periodical publication, generally published on a regular schedule (often weekly or monthly), containing a variety of content. They are generally financed by advertising, purchase price, prepaid subscriptions, or by a combination of the three. Definition In the technical sense a ''journal'' has continuous pagination throughout a volume. Thus ''Business Week'', which starts each issue anew with page one, is a magazine, but the '' Journal of Business Communication'', which continues the same sequence of pagination throughout the coterminous year, is a journal. Some professional or trade publications are also peer-reviewed, for example the '' Journal of Accountancy''. Non-peer-reviewed academic or professional publications are generally ''professional magazines''. That a publication calls itself a ''journal'' does not make it a journal in the technical sense; ''The Wall Street Journal'' is actually a newspaper.

It's Garry Shandling's Show
''It's Garry Shandling's Show'' is an American sitcom that was initially broadcast on Showtime from September 10, 1986 to May 25, 1990. It was created by Garry Shandling and Alan Zweibel. The series is notable for breaking the fourth wall. Synopsis The series stars Garry Shandling as himself: A neurotic, sardonic stand-up comedian who just happens to be aware he is a television sitcom character. Garry spends just as much time interacting with the studio audience as he does the regular cast members, performing monologues and show-closing summations of the episode's events (much like George Burns on ''The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show''). However, on Garry's show, all the supporting characters know they are on a TV show, not just Garry; and the studio audience (itself a character) is often in the storyline. At the time of the series' production, Shandling actually lived in Sherman Oaks, California, just like the character on the series. His condominium on the series ...
