GET LAZY!, THE BIG GAME, BEDS ARE BACK, PREPARED FOOD, AND COMPUTERS, COMPUTERS, AND MORE COMPUTERS!!!

Spurt — Fri, 09 Jan 2015 01:41:40 GMT

Hello Folks

There was an earthquake reported 277 miles north from me in the Dallas area.....I don't think it was an earthquake, I think what actually happened was all the QVC customers in Texas SLAMMED down their remotes as they checked QVC's Weekend Program Guide....I have to warn you IT IS DISMAL AND DREADFUL!!!!! READ ONLY IF YOU DARE!!!!

Of course QVC puts it's own "clever" twist on it, and I know you will be "enthralled" with SPOIL YOURSELF SATURDAY!!!!! If you view the lineup it's more like how you feel after drinking some SPOILED milk!!!! YUUUUUCKKKK!!!!

Yep folks it's not necessarily "fashion" with as QVC presents bag lady fashions, polyester favorites, and dancing models!!!!

And you will NOT want to stay tuned for SATURDAY MORNING Q--this week's theme---it's a BIG GAME PREVIEW featuring none other than tah dah....LA-Z-BOY!!!! Just RIVETING programming folks!!!

It's the OREGON DUCKS

And these fans are READY----

The game might be exciting but the programming sure won't be......

Nothing can be more exciting than watching the host and vendor sit in recliners....just more DULL television.....If they had a category for UNIMAGINATIVE TV at the Emmy Awards.....QVC would certainly WIN!!!!

Then a RARE appearance by DENIM & COMPANY---

Remember last weekend....when QVC brought you all day TEDIOUS viewing.....well folks it's another ENCORE PERFORMANCE of SLEEP NUMBER BEDS!!!! I guess QVC thinks customers just can't get enough of a "good thing".......

A refreshing break in these dismal offerings is DESTINATION GOLD!!!! However, our hopes are DASHED, as QVC's promo promises to show a selection of returning favorites, popular designs, and popular brands......in other words IT'S THE SAME OLE STUFF .......and we will more than likely hear those INFAMOUS words.....THE SLEEPING BEAUTY MINE IS CLOSED!!!!

And just when you think it can't get any worse yep more LA Z BOY programming---makes you want to HIDE from QVC.....

And to close out the day ............ MORE LA Z BOY....sure to make you lazy and put you SOUND TO SLEEP!!!!

Their warehouses must be bursting with PCs....CALL NOW and order a dozen to clear QVC's inventory so we can hopefully see something else on Sundays.....

Some will be happy dancing over that news....

Now Spurt, you be sure and go comment under the CES tech post... I would but they'd just delete it... Honestly, the tech team at the expo... Who cares...?

stevieb — Fri, 09 Jan 2015 01:48:26 GMT

Again... weren't we led to believe the Q was working on bringing us better programming? WHEN, WHEN, WHEN????? Because I am SO not seeing it... and I will SO not be watching... Pathetic... again...

Spurt, there was quite an aftershock here in Iowa after people saw the weekend lineup. I won't be watching.

But I have enjoyed some of the gem day!! What a shocker to see real gems in real gold, for a change!

In fact, hoping all the regulars go to the CES tech post, and advise the dear Q just how very much we all enjoy their obsession with tech programming...

Hi CALMIN.....In fact, after doing some checking, I think the AFTERSHOCK was felt all over the USA after customers checked out the programming for this weekend....There are not enough adjectives to describe how BORING it is!!!!

Um, well, I sort of built on what you said, making it clear that wearable tech is SO not my thing...

Honestly, it just gets worse and worse and even when you think it can't it does... What truly riles me is that they are SO clearly trying to pander to the audience they THINK they have or that they WANT to have and not to the audience they ACTUALLY have... Granted, I'm sure there are some regulars who are chomping at the bit for wearable tech, but not, I'm guessing, many... I think there are far more of us who'd simply like to see a VARIETY of clothing, home decor, accessory and jewelry items...

Interesting that the whole electronics expo thread appears to have, well, disappeared... Good. Incidentally, our two comments were, thus far, the only ones. That ought to tell them something.

I guess holiday mode may become a 24/7 365 condition. That is...forget QVC and get out and find something more meaningful to do. I surely won't be watching. Seldom do these days. Sadly, it's a habit easily broken.

I think SECRETLY they know who their REAL audience is, but QVC continues to TRY to bring in the younger demographic with all this tech stuff, WITHOUT SUCCESS, but they keep trying and trying to change their customer base and it's not happening, in fact they are losing customers instead......

A lot of customers commented how much they enjoyed the Silver Jewelry Shows....even the hosts......but we probably won't see that again until AFTER Christmas 2015....

You would think after the first of the year, everyone is taking their Christmas decor down, and our homes appear rather drab, that someone somewhere at the Q would think that a home decor show would be just great right now, to help to spruce up the place after the holidays.....BUT NO! Bring on the fitbit, the Nutrisystems, and the exercise equipment....and as customers start breaking their New Year's Resolutions, I hope they ALL get returned BACK to the Q too!!!!

As for clothing....not to worry....pretty soon it will be nothing but CAPRIS, CAPRIS, CAPRIS, and the latest and the greatest spring fashions....from the bag lady and polyester queen!!! Oh I just can't wait....(SARCASM)!!!

Sadly I hadn't even tuned on Gem day....but when I did it was none other than fake diamonds, followed by the stuff from the mine that is...............well you know (CLOSED)!!!! So I turned the channel....I waited for it to be over and turned it back to QVC and was pleasantly surprised to see some nice pieces......some REAL gems!!!

SPURT: Your post is a must-read for me each week and I confess I am totally enamored of those so-enjoyable animal photos. This week my big favorite is the little brown dog football fan in the red and white dress. Oh, that lovely little face...!! (I also cannot help hoping that someone, somewhere is trying to find a cat diet for that poor overweight tabby.) Anyway, like so many viewers, I used to be a good QVC customer but now I barely even bother to take a look at their channel. I live in hope that your fame has traveled as far as the upper echelons of QVC and that even one person there is taking notice. Or perhaps I am just expecting too much....!

That overweight tabby says she prefers that you call her 'plus size'... thank you very much!

Yes, Spurt, there WERE some actual beautiful gemstones and now, back to our regular programming...

LOL, love it, SPURT! I was yawning just reading about the line up this weekend. The pictures are so adorable, though.

Oh yea, they want to, uh, relax... us into submission!

And convince us we need to buy the "pilates machine" to work off the softness from too much relaxing in the chairs and on the beds.

And add that "nutrisystem" will help give you the energy to get up and get moving!

I think QVC is moving away from the ""ground hog day"" movie inspiration and now is tapping into the ""stepford wives"". Seems like all the hosts are now SAYING the SAME things for the products. Like they have all been programmed with the same scripts!
