Alive with Possibility! New Show

Caaareful Shopper — Sat, 07 Sep 2024 12:32:01 GMT

Now it's ALIVE with Possibility.

This is David Venable's social media post about the new show starting Wednesday, Sept. 16.

Quite a few of the posts on his pages, as a response to this big announcement, are less than enthusiastic. Some are not pleased with the change to Wednesdays' ITKWD being changed to just a little segment inside this new show (at least temporarily).

Change can be good...... Time will tell.

"Hey Friends! BIG ANNOUNCEMENT for Monday-Thursday nights from 8-10 PM ET! Beginning Monday, 9/16 ... we are debuting "Alive with Possibility!" Each night will feature different hosts and products to help everyone be FABULOUS! Wednesday night will launch a NEW show hosted by Sandra Bennett and Me! Also, we'll have the regular LIVESTREAM chat, our co-host Monifa Days will be building a virtual community every night of ALIVE. On Wednesdays … we will still feature an ITKWD segment, recipes, the chat, and giveaways ... but we'll ALSO be showcasing beauty, fashion, and home goods to make EVERYONE feel wonderful as they embrace the Age of Possibility! All the things you love – AND MORE! I am very excited about what we will be bringing you every night ... Monday-Thursday from 8-10 PM ET! You have seen the promos and coming up - September 16 ... you can begin the journey to be "Alive with Possibility!" Join us for all the fun!"

I think in time people will get used to the changes. Go with the flow!

Change is good. Hopefully this will lessen my monthly Q statement bill. It depends on the hosts/vendors and items presented. Time will tell.

@Caaareful Shopper Well, I'm an ITKWD fan from way back, so I don't really like this change. However, the shows, especially the Wed. night shows, have been kind of tired lately. Nothing really new and useful. Maybe I finally have all the kitchen gadgets I need. Hahaha! I never buy clothing on QVC and have made one or two skin care purchases in the last several years. Additionally, DH usually watches with me, so I guess we might be watching something else on Wed. nights.

I stopped watching ITKWD on Wednesdays because to me even David seems bored and stale with it. So I'll look forward to the change and see how they weave in all different products.

Sounds like another Saturday Morning Q type of show, where they sell a bit of everything. Nothing really new, except how they decorate the sets.

An improvement over 50 shlock. But no dead people are allowed.

It sounds to me like all the hosts don't want to get old so they are pumping up the stage they may be going through. That is silly, these hosts need to fully-describe the item they are presenting, stop the fun stuff , then go home and live their lives until the next time. I hope they understand that is what we as customers do, turn off the TV and life our lives. I am not interested in any of this nonsense. I watch very little live QVC. I find what I want on the internet.

Oh, please .

Now we can hear abt how all the over 50 women stopped cooking because of menopause brain freeze , so they buy all these over priced frozen foods. That's all I need to hear David going on abt menopause and women whining.

Bet they never mention the ED word or all the prostate problems older men experience .

Selling clothes and beauty care, well they must have alot of unsold inventory that they need to slep .

At least 90% of the feedback on David's instagram post are very unhappy with this change.

I'm 59 and was a caregiver for my mom until she passed away in July. My best friend, who is 55, is helping care for her mom, who has early onset Dementia. Contrary to the annoying Rachel Bosing commercial, we aren't "coming into our power." There is no Age of Possibility. It's an "Age of Responsibility," if anything.

Seems like this BS is just some form of therapy for the QVC hosts. And the hosts who are in that 50+ age range get dumped (Carolyn, Dan) while far, far, far less talented people are brought in (Monifa, lol).

I'm sure we'll get 10 run-ins by Mally per show, with her screaming/shouting/swearing.

In reality, QVC is mocking people over 50. We aren't "coming into our power" trying to be Supergirl or Superman. We'd just like some quality products and decent prices.

Stop it with this cloying nonsense, please.

IMHO, they have lost their way. I don't care about the Age of Possibility because we all make our lives to live the best we can. This is just pure nonsense. It wouldn't surprise me if their new approach is turning customers away.

@Packersfan1265 - well said. I'm way over 50 but when I was your age, I was caring for my mil with dementia, going to school at night for a law degree & working full time. If anything, the over 50 hosts have issues with aging, not "normal" healthy & strong women. I find the whole campaign insulting, just give us good quality offerings.

"Alive" with Possibility?

Is this some sort of joke title?

It insinuates 50+ people are on the skids, but not to worry...you're still alive!

Maybe QVC is trying to kiss up to the demographic with the most disposable income with this proliferation of new "FABULOUS" programming, but I'm sort of disgusted by the whole thing.

I like the ITKWD shows to be just kitchen & food.

Predicting this new show will flop.

I might actually give this a try. Two hosts that don't act like out of control teens and a mix of products. Haven't watched David in a long time because I'm never going to watch hours of cooking.

IMO, they're putting two of my least favorite hosts together. Yikes....easy pass for me watching this.

Thanks for the warning!

I find it intriguing that they're bringing David into the mix.

I will definitely be watching and am looking forward to the possibilities!
