So bored with QVC and boring, repetitive selections........

HOW MANY TIMES do we need to see Halo battery/chargers????!!!!!! I see the paper shredder is on AGAIN. Soooooo disappointed with these boring, repetitive products. The same for HSN-- turn on the channel occasionally and see the SAME product over and over -- sometimes the same product is on BOTH channels at the same time. I'm talking to you HP Laptops!

The Q really needs to make some changes if they hope to retain their vieiwng audience.

I agree with you. I simply won't watch the "whatever you call it" gift guide shows. I quit watching in November/December several years ago because there isn't anything that IMO is worth my time.

I just looked at the home page, to see what items have been shown in the most recent show. Nothing shown interests me. Years ago, "the good stuff" was offered through December 21. Now, it looks as if the good stuff is long gone. It's a shame.

I don't have a problem with the shopping channels showing their key products, or how many times they present them. Every retailer is known for certain items and I shop with the ones who carry what I want to buy. I even shop with QVC every now and then, if they are the best deal. It's all good!

I hate it too. I can just imagine how this must have gone down. A big company-wide meeting after the newly hired person-in-charge came on board with her grand ideas.

"Listen up, folks. Things are about to change around here. Like it or not, we are going to drive home the point that people NEED these very few, hand-selected-for-overkill-by-me products. Work hard. Sell, sell, sell! The presentations will be repeated over and over. It is our goal to catch EVERY American who happens to be channel surfing. If we repeat the presentations enough, that's bound to happen. It's all about dollars, people. Suck it up and deal with it. I know what I'm doing here. Just wait and see."

Yep. I waited. I saw. I left.

I agree the "gifts" are so boring. Also I find it disappointing that every day until the end of the year will be all about Christmas gifts. As if nobody has anything else on their mind. A little obsessive IMO. I don't even care about Christmas and plenty of other folks don't either. I can see it being sometimes (or a lot) about gifts but all day and night on 5 channels is too much.

I quit watching regularly a few years ago. Sometimes I'll tune in for a couple minutes if there is something that interests me, but I never watch an entire show like I once did.

Oh, but I do so look forward to seeing those kitchen scissors with the gift boxes each and every year...it just wouldn't be QVC without those dang things!!!!

They had more interesting Christmas shows in July.

And today...it's cleaning cloths repurposed as......magical face cloths!!!

FIVE set of them no less....so you can wash your face in the car, the public rest room, the gym, in church, at the store....where ever you need to shmeer off your gloppy makeup in one full swoop!!!!!

Sheeeeesh. ANOTHER gimmick that we'll see for the next few weeks on all the Q channels at once....between the endless BOSE nonsense, the fryers, the snippers, and the Temptations Crack-ware in various sizes and shpes, all with gift boxes.

O. And don't forget 500 iterations of "cabin socks" ( for people who wouldn't set foot in a real "cabin" today...can't paint the walls dentist office gray with unimaginative white trim in a cabin!!!!)...

Ear buds, BOLT chargers, flashlight sets, security systems, lightbulbs that last 100 years as long as they only come on in a power failure....and vacuums.

My only concern is....WHERE did the My Pillows, the Sleep Number Beds and the puffing, breathing steamers of yesteryear go? Seems like only last year it was beds beds beds steamers steamers and electric smokers ( with the Aw-shucks Guy)...

At least we can all be happy the the set of four shears in different colors are still here to save the day!!!! MC snipping away...so many clamshell packages, so little time....

I was just thinking the same thing...saw Susan Graver and Pat for a minute this morning. Same boring schtick ...Susan hopping around and Pat talking about what great friends Graver and she are. They need a new script. I laughed at the models in their "flood" Graver pants with 3 inch heels on. Awful.

Since installing Roku on my TV, I don't feel a need to watch the Q. Youtube has current merchandise and interesting viewing not to mention hundreds of viewing options on other platforms. On the rare occasion that I do tune in for kicks, the programming seems so out-of-touch and stale.

-----------------
Same with me...had the Q on all the time, but rarely watch anymore. Do a Q check every so often, but the repetition of products and poor hosting skills just frustrates me! The Q is in dire need of a make over...hosts, products, programming etc.

Totally agree the same stuff all the time and every day.I am also tired of cuddl duds mutt lugs,repeat all the time.Nothing worth watching during this holiday.

You know it's really bad when it's not even worth looking online at "Products Recently On Air", let alone actually parking yourself in front of the TV.

The Q is unbearable this time of year.

Re: So bored with QVC and boring, repetitive selections........

SandySparkles — Thu, 05 Dec 2019 22:44:35 GMT

I am in the minority, because I still like and enjoy watching QVC. There is programming that I have seen a time or two, and if I don't enjoy it, I don't watch. There are so many shows to choose from, that I usually find something in the weekly line-up that appeals to me.

~~~All we need is LOVE💖

Whasamatta U? you forgot those smiley face sponges. Boy, oh boy! I know what I want to find under the tree this year. If I don't get them I'll cry my eyes out and ruin my IT mascara.
