12/2 ITKWD = gift show instead (again)

loriqvc — Wed, 02 Dec 2020 23:26:43 GMT

Sadly, it appears that we're getting yet another multi-hour show full of random gift picks rather than a kitchen show this week. David is hosting, but it's just not the same.

Maybe that is why the show is titled David's Gift Favorites instead of ITKWD.

As much as I love the holiday decorating shows I despise the ubiquitous "gift" shows. I'm very unlikely to watch any show without a designated category. I won't even keep it on in the background.

I just took a look at the items David has shown so far. Good grief. I would not want, nor would I give as a gift, a light bulb changing kit.

I am beyond upset and disapointed and called customer service to lodge a complaint that the kitchen shows have been cut back to back weeks. Decided to boycott QVC tonight and watched Shop HQ instead.

I was disappointed that ITKWD wasn't on. I always look forward to the Wednesday night show.

I don't even watch any more. QVC doesn't fit into my shopping favorites any more. Wish the guy who owns Amazon would buy them out make an offer they can't refuse. Needs overhaul.

I hate to talk like the oldest person in the room again, but I remember when QVC sold great merchandise through the second week of December. In fact, some items could be ordered by the 21st for guaranteed December 24 delivery. Last night's show was more same old, same old. A QVC Sampler by a different name. Very disappointing.

I sent a letter today to Mike George about it - frankly I think this man is ruining the QVC we came to love @sashamatthews , I pray the new CEO who arrives next year will go back the fun days of the 1990s and 2000s.

Don't hold your breath.

I was thinking some woman was the person at the top. Not interested enough to research it though. LOL

No its a man. I think that is part of the problem (he is out of touch with the average customer who is in their 60s or 70s).

Yeah, I could give them some much needed insight on stuff from the hosts, shipping, the forum boards, the main Q page (the red squared box Q on the upper left side of this website) etc. from the average viewers standpoint.

If they're interested in how they could improve, etc. I know these are special times and every business is under a strain, but, they could use some advice.

I think that Qurate's shareholders will want Mike George's successor (who may or may not be Leslie Ferraro, the current President of QxH) to propel the business into 2021 and beyond. Not take it back to the 1980s and 1990s. For some, unfortunately, that may be a large reduction in cable broadcasting, if not its complete elimination.
