THIS WEEKEND LINEUP IS SCARIER THAN A HAUNTED HOUSE!

.

.

Hello Folks, this is a HALLOWEEN edition of QVC's weekend preview.....

/><br/> <br/> <span style= /></span></span></span><br/> <br/> <span style= There was a movie trailer a while back that said, in space no one can hear you scream........and that applies to QVC's weekend lineup too because I know it will have you SCREAMIN' .....'cause frankly it ain't no THRILLER, but it is downright SCARY!


/><br/> <br/> And there are more TRICKS than treats----<br/></span><br/> <span style=/></span></span> <span style= /></span> <img class= /></span></span></span></span> <span style= /></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span> <span style= /></span><br/> <span style=/></span> <img class=

It may be near the bewitching hour and HALLOWEEN, but to QVC Christmas is FOREVER as they present another, COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS ALL DAY SATURDAY!!!!! Another terrifying day as QVC presents the SAME ole products ONCE AGAIN---and you thought it was just zombies that wouldn't die----



/><br/> <br/> To kick off the lineup for a howling good time--tune in to AM STYLE for a creepy look at fashion---<br/> <br/></span></span><br/> <span style= /></span></span> <span style= /></span></span><span style=/></span></span> <span style= /></span></span><br/> <img src=

Some of you will have the good sense to avoid QVC and do something more useful, like visiting your local pumpkin patch (coordinating outfit IS required) and decorating your pumpkin!


/></span> <span style=/></span> <span style=/></span></span><span style=/></span></span><br/> <br/> <span style= /></span></span><br/></span></span><br/> <span style=
Then for a devil of a good time, it's SATURDAY MORNING Q-FIVE HOUR SPECIAL!!!!

This programming is so bad, some of you will want to call for an Exorcist........


/><br/> <br/> NEXT-Halloween brings forth spooktacular treats----and here's a favorite---sure to scare dry and damaged hair away---it's WEN - HAIR AND BODY CARE! If you use Wen your hair will NOT look like this.....<br/></span></span></span><br/> <img class=


Sure to make you run in fear and let out a SHRIEK ----it's QVC's 3 hour GIFT GUIDE---sure to include lots of favorites you surely love---flashlights, flashpads, fluffy throws, tablets and computers, and do I smell some poo-pourri---see what gifts the Q has brewed up for you...

/><br/> <br/> Something that's sure to bring you nightmares since it's on so often.....another haunting demonstration---it's SLEEP NUMBER BEDS......<br/> <br/></span></span></span> <img class=

Yep, the sheep return---

/></span></span><br/></span><br/> <span style=I hope this werewolf did not scare the Serta sheep away---


/><br/></span><br/> <span style=


Some prefer other methods to get a good night's sleep----


/><br/> <br/> <span style= To close out Saturday QVC presents COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS----eat a piece of Halloween candy for each Q vendor that you are sick and tired of seeing---


/></span></span></span> <img src= /><br/> <span style=
*********

Enter if you DARE----more HORRIFYING programming awaits----




/><br/> It's COOKING ON Q-HOLIDAY EDITION---ALL DAY LONG-sure to send a chill up your spine------<br/> <br/></span></span></span><br/> <img class=



And I think this pumpkin expresses my feelings about the lineup!
/><br/></span> <span style=
To start the Cooking On Q celebration a Sunday favorite kicks it off none other than ----KEURIG -GOURMET COFFEE MADE PERFECT---gives you a bigger JOLT than something from FRANKENSTEIN'S LAB!!!!

/><br/> <br/></span><br/> Ready for something creepy, weird,</span> <span style= and ghastly----it's GIFTS FOR THE COOK!!!!

Sure to drive you BATTY!!!!


/> <img class=


Put your bat wings together for the star of the show none other than VITAMIX---it's more than a blender you know. Also according to QVC's promo this show presents....."gifts for the seasoned chef or beginner baker .....QVC's got a recipe for a memorable holiday with a selection of appliances, kitchen gadgets, cookbooks, cookware and more from our popular brands...." A chillin good time, and I bet there will be cracking and grazing Temptations---more eerie noises than a haunted house....the food chopper, the food saver, and all the items that have been boring you for all eternity!!!


/><br/> <br/> Then a whole HOUR of more bone chilling VITAMIX demonstrations----I wonder if you can make a smoothie of eye of newt and frog legs.....YUM YUM!!!!<br/></span></span><br/> <span style=/><br/> <br/> NEXT UP----a full hour sure to terrify---its TEMPTATIONS-PRESENTABLE KITCHEN!<br/> <br/> I wonder if this is the ghoulish kitchen QVC had in mind-----<br/></span></span><br/> <span style=

/><br/> <br/> <span style=Talk about truly TERRIFYING programming---yes folks its 5 BIG HOURS of IN THE KITCHEN WITH DAVID!!!!-----featuring VITAMIX----can one stand the HORROR OF IT ALL!!!

Photo: I'm ready for all the Ghosts and Goblins! Have a Spooktacular Halloween!

But the SCARIEST is still-----GULP-----David as bacon, and Mary as candy corn!!!!

The show is sure to include lots of TRICKS and very little TREATS....

However, the MOST terrifying, scariest, most horrific thing---more evil than all the ghosts, goblins, vampires and monsters COMBINED ---SCREAM ALL YOU WANT----it will not go away-------to some that are so bored with these shows they refer to it as----


/><br/> <br/></span> <span style= Some QVC viewers feel this programming is straight from hades!!!! Get ready to run--there are not one, not two, but THREE more VITAMIX Shows------ARRRGGGHHH!!!!

In between these shows is a GOURMET HOLIDAY show ----tune in if you DARE! QVC's promo reads, "From crab cakes to cheese cakes, QVC promises to whet your appetite and taste buds with delicious dishes for the holidays----look for a mouth watering selection of sweets, meats, and treats perfect for holiday entertaining and gift giving...."
/><br/> <br/> <span style=There's also another GIFTS FOR THE COOK- show--


/></span></span><br/> as if you needed to see them again---why some would rather see a GHOST!---<br/> <br/></span> <img src=

This weekend lineup is scarier than any haunted house----

OMG SPURT !!!! This might be your best warning, I mean review yet !!!! I'm crying about the programming coming up, but you have me in stitches once again with your pictures and descriptions of what's coming up at the Q ! So appropriate !!!! I don't know how you consistently do it, but your graphics and photo's, especially the cats, are hilarious, and seem so befitting of your subject matter. I often wonder if you stage these yourself !!! {#emotions_dlg.lol}

And then the picture of David holding the Halloween candy, incredible ! But he and Mary in the bacon and candy corn are one for the Smithsonian kitchen !!!

Can't believe on Saturday we have more of "Countdown to Christmas" with a 5-hour special !

Could that include more flashlights, flameless candles, key chains etc.? Must we again endure more WEN? Hasn't Chaz retired in the South Sea's on a private island yet with his dogs?

Then on Saturday you say there is another 3 hours of gift idea's ??????

But we don't have to fear, we can look forward to Sunday with all day cooking shows (wasn't that this past Wednesday's programming?) and the eternal, infernal Vitamix, Keurig , and to soften to blow, the ever-present mattress?

Man, it must be so challenging to be the people who gather to decide on weekly programming. For certain it must be a lucrative position as it takes such a creative and

intelligent collaboration.

Thanks again SPURT for your ingenious and time-consuming blog ! What would we do without your weekly warnings, uh advice ????

Lova ya GF !

Re: THIS WEEKEND LINEUP IS SCARIER THAN A HAUNTED HOUSE!

WOW! You have once again outdone yourself - the zombie cats!!!{#emotions_dlg.lol} And all the animals in their costumes, esp. the guinea pig in the Dumbo costume - one of my all-time favorite movies. Too cute.

Thank you Spurt for all your hard work - It is truly appreciated! (My favorite line btw: more eerie noises than a haunted house....the food chopper, the food saver, and all the items that have been boring you for all eternity!!!

Is this a civet cat or ???

Re: THIS WEEKEND LINEUP IS SCARIER THAN A HAUNTED HOUSE!

I'm wondering what percentage of old, long-term QVC viewers and shoppers have totally given up on QVC with their pathetic antics and are now devoted to the other shopping channels, specifically HSN ?? I'll bet the number is higher than we think !

hey mewsmomtoo.....

That animal is a coatimundi, they are members of the racoon family. And he is ready made for Halloween since he already has a mask {#emotions_dlg.laugh}.

I thought the cat zombies were HILARIOUS too....{#emotions_dlg.lol}

Thank you for your continued support and all your nice comments....

Hi Remee....thank you for your kind words{#emotions_dlg.blushing}, glad you like the post.....

ITKWD at age 75....{#emotions_dlg.laugh}{#emotions_dlg.laugh} I never thought of that.....

And Elvis could certainly use some blue suede shoes.....{#emotions_dlg.laugh}

And I think your right Remee....It seems there is an ever increasing number of threads voicing their discontent with the Q all across the Forum (regardless of what the few QVC "cheerleaders" may say). The complaints continue to grow! I don't know exactly how many long time customers have actually left. QVC's 3rd Quarter financial results will be coming out in a few weeks and it will be interesting to see how they are doing on units sold. There is virtually no variety in their lineup or products so I think a guinea pig or squirrel could run the Q. Perhaps my cat Figgy should apply for the job of CEO {#emotions_dlg.biggrin} QVC should be embarrassed at what they put on the air on the weekends, and for the weekdays for that matter too.....

HSN is not too much bettter, any time I flip channels all I see is electronics or beauty items....and they seemed to be enamored with celebrity lines....they are bringing Snookie back (insert your own joke here) {#emotions_dlg.rolleyes}.....and Tyra Banks, and are planning a salute to the Rolling Stones....{#emotions_dlg.confused1} Shop HQ has picked up some of vendors QVC has let go, or perhaps the vendors chose to mutiny and jump to another channel, still it seems that they are fixated with watches.....but we will see how things go for them and their new CEO.

Take care and have a great non QVC weekend!!!

Re: THIS WEEKEND LINEUP IS SCARIER THAN A HAUNTED HOUSE!

Oh, Spurt! Another fabulous preview! I was laughing so hard reading through. I loved the collies in the fast food costumes and, of course, the kitties up to their usual antics. This will be a good weekend for me to miss - I'm heading over to Honolulu for Saturday and Sunday. I'll check in on my iPad but I think orderings on anything on air (or otherwise for that matter) will be minimal if at all. Seems I'm spending more time at HSN, ShopHQ, Hautelook and Amazon these days. BUT, I ALWAYS check in Thursdays for your preview! Many thanks!
