The 1,000th issue was released July 4, 2008, and included the magazine's top-100 list for movies, television shows, music videos, songs, Broadway shows, and technology of the past 25 years (1983-2008).
As of its 1,001st issue, EW drastically revamped the look, feel and content of the publication-increasing font and picture sizes and making all columns' word count shorter.
