ITKWM on QVC 2

Suneshine — Mon, 30 Jan 2023 12:33:32 GMT

I caught some of the rebroadcast of her Saturday show. It is sad that the resources are so limited on the second channel that the hosts have to go to unflattering lengths. Mary was laying on the floor between the coffee table and the sofa in the living room set used for her show. The vendor was selling a Bundt cake pan and that was how Mary was expressing her delight in the vendors culinary ideas. That show is rather difficult to watch.

What's the connection between a bundt cake pan and being on the floor? Yeah, sounds a little odd.

Dramatization as a time filler?

That was just Mary being overly dramatic, silly and emotive.

She also does this type of thing also on Q1, so it's not limited to being on the Q2 set.

Mary also does this on her social media pages in her videos. Her on-the-floor reaction to various things is one of her regular humor routines.

I don't watch ITKWM on QVC 2 because I don't like the tiny claustrophobic set on that channel.

She was floored by how nice the bundt cake pan was.

Haven't seen it on QVC yet, butI've been seeing people lying on the floor on HGTV and on commercials for flooring. Not my thing, but apparently it is a thing.

Lying on the floor selling flooring I can see, but lying on the floor selling a bundt cake makes no sense to me.

I am not sure why the set for QVC 2 is so small and the staffing is minimal. It was not like that in previous years. They also never have all of the samples/colors of items either. I don't enjoy looking at the colors on my television via a QVC computer. If the same item was being sold on the mail channel then all the colors would be on display. And ...why doesn't anything get demonstrated by her during the show? She is so far removed from the product? That must be challenging for her.

In my opinion I think they should eliminate Q2 and Q3 and invest their time and energy on the one main channel. Less hosts would be needed and they could focus on improving the main site and perhaps passing the savings on to the customer.

In this day and age most of us go online to research anyway. Do we really need Q2 and Q3? I honestly don't know since I never watch them. From what I have heard from here, often it's just a repeat show so items are not necessarily the same price or available. And, like others here stated, the stage is smaller and they don't even show the options in person, only the computer screen. I just don't see the point of having so many Q stations, stick to one and make it better.

@cjm61 QVC 3 is all repeat shows, but QVC 2 is live each day from 11am - midnight EST.

Re: ITKWM on QVC 2

cjm61 — Mon, 30 Jan 2023 18:18:47 GMT

So, Q2 never airs repeats? I may have misunderstood. I thought others said, with the exception of 11-midnight, the shows were all repeats.

Re: ITKWM on QVC 2

DJs mom — Mon, 30 Jan 2023 19:20:24 GMT

@cjm61 yes Q2 airs repeats, just like the main channel. I was just pointing out that they are not ALL repeats. They are live for 13hrs each day.

I agree. One channel is enough. Q is getting greedy. Q3 sucks because most of the time the graphics don't match up with what they are showing (I think that is because the item is sold out). It's very confusing.

And 2 airs live at 11 AM daily.

I've seen those flooring commercials you're talking about.

Obnoxious.

Not only is she stretching time but the show seems to be filled with the same old clearance products. I am one of those people who are annoyed seeing the hair pushing constantly. I like when Mary has her hair pinned back. This program is getting old. The regular David shows are too. Predictable.

I have not seen that. If it is as described, maybe some of the complainers on these forums are correct: hosts should no longer drink wine while on air!

I can't watch the show bc she's never actually in a kitchen setting. I'm never using the pull chop on my coffee table so for me she's so far removed from the actual item that I can't take it seriously. I'm not interested in who she's besties with OR how things are done in 1970's Germany. That's not to say I'm uninterested in Germany or the 70's but they don't fit into my decision of purchasing a pull chop. (Enter any product being pitched bc my opinion goes for each & disclaimer I love the pull chop)
