I used Rotten instead of what I really wanted to say. I just received my July Insider. Linea is on July10th from 2-4am (west coast) and 5-7am (east coast) that's all. Seriously, 1 show in the middle of the night for us on the west and pretty darn early for those on the east. The man has a great following, who showed that by the protested they staged to keep him. All they can give him is 1 show in the wee hours?!?!?! And forget about a jewelry hour! Just some of the worst pictures of his jewelry ever! Mr. Dell'Olio deserves better! He is after all (and Q brags about it) a true designer. So how about a little (alot) of respect for him?
Shame on you QVC!!!!

They know he has a great following. Do you think think they do that to get back at us for the write in campaign we did when they were going to cancel him? Or am I just being silly? Sometimes I picture some little man in a dingy little cubical saying "I'll show those ladies, I'll make them get up in the middle of the night. Hee, hee, hee!"

Could it be one of two options -- or both?
1. Low inventory quantities. Low Linea quantities would be much lower than Susan Graver's because of initial purchase. There would not be enough product to satisfy prime-time customers. Louis has already sold most of what was bought in his line for the present season. Could this be why?
or
2. Management figures Linea Ladies are die-hards and will buy no matter what the obstacles or hardship.

I don't think it matters much since most Linea items are gone or down to broken sizes and colors before the show comes around.

I doubt that. But, just from what I read here, the bulk of the new items are practically gone before the show airs. Why give him prime hours when, the merchandise has already been sold? Linea has very loyal following and I never quite understood why it was so hard to buy anything from the line. And then I saw a post today or perhaps yesterday that listed item numbers for things that aren't even available yet. Linea ladies, I think, tend to be retired ladies who can and do watch his shows whenever they schedule them anyway.

The rotten timeslots always go to the lines TPTB want to get rid of. They used to do that with hosts, too, but now they just fire 'em. Linea is a beautiful line, and I was so happy to see a photo of Louis and Donna Karan in an article on her the other day in the paper; there was a mention how the two of them salvaged the Anne Klein line when AK died, and then she left.

I'm not retired and there are many Linea ladies who range in age, but who have good taste in common. I'm still consulting full-time & traveling and don't have time to be up all hours of the night to order QVC clothing. I DVR his shows and order the moment I see the new offerings listed at midnight.
