PLEASE STOP

just wonder — Fri, 23 Jan 2026 18:37:15 GMT

All this Over 50 stuff. All it does is emphasize those of us who are over 50 must be an isolated old group. Some of the folks on front of this website are reat representations of loverly women over 50 - but then - many of them are quite unrelatable - at least hopefully. Don't need QVC to tell me at 73 that I am fabulous - just like I was in my 30's, 40's, 50's etc. - ya get it?

I wouldn't mind these shows if they were serious but they make a joke about issues that women over 50 experience. I don't see menopause and other issues that women have as they grow older as humorous. I will watch the shows if they have actual experts with legitimate advice about health issues.

Absolutely quit with the over fifty. It really is no big deal. For me it is just a distant memory with no consequences or changes. No different than turning 33 or any other age.

I think it is their own problems personally with facing the fact they are over 50. Many of which are well over 50 and by using that number and putting themselves in that bracket makes them feel young again. I think the whole thing is just stupid, I certainly do not need to be reminded constantly that I am fabulous. Some days I am and many days I am not that is life.

As someone in the midst of peri, I appreciate a serious dialogue about symptoms and conversations to have with doctors. Growing up when I did, people barely talked about the monthly stuff, and certainly not menopause. I always thought it happened to "older people" but had no idea how young it actually can start, etc. My friends and female co-workers, and family members are being very open about it with each other if for no other reason but to share information and to no longer be in the dark. And I do hope younger generations properly educate themselves and know they do not have to be alone in this change in life.

However, I do not appreciate someone hocking a product under the guise that they are "friends" trying to help. As someone else noted, it would not be bad if they had reputable doctors and not just another vendor with another gummy, or hair loss contraption or pill, because the whole process is "so terrible" and you MUST make yourself feel "like a woman/pretty/whatever so please buy this!" it might be worthwhile.

I also wanted to say that many people on these boards over the years have commented on the Over50 intro by Mally which some found offensive. I find SK's intro to Menopause Monday classless. I am not offended by it at all, but I am surprised that promo is the best that Q thought they could do to promote this "show". The amount of leeway they give her to say whatever she wants is baffling.

@just wonder I see no reason I should think talk from a TV person applies to me if I know it doesn't.

I don't watch the age programming. I'm mostly a home decor person.

The part I don't understand is QVC is trying to attract younger viewers. A twenty-something or thirty-something shopper is not going to be enticed to shop at QVC with all the 50+ programming, Menopause Monday shows, and commercials talking about what happens to that person when they laugh. Instead, all those things are advertising to a younger crowd that this is not the place for them.

Perhaps QVC has decided to not try for younger customers and instead will be the place to shop for a more seasoned customer base.

It's like beating a dead horse as far as the Q goes. I actually find these shows offensive.

My two cents on aging.

When I was young, I worked out, did Pilates, had the body. I was 5'2 and wore a size four/six for years. I had beautiful thick, wavy hair down to my waist. I thought, I got this. It isn't going to happen to me.

Fast forward through the 50's. The thickness around my abdomen shocked me! I could run miles, keep doing what I always did. Wouldn't budge. Changed diet, kept putting on pounds not losing. Hair styles just didn't look as good anymore. Didn't realize until my ponytail shrank that my hair wasn't as thick!

Bottom line, things change beyond our control. It's aging and you learn to accept that it did happen to you. At least I did. QVC can't help me.

I think the whole idea of the over 50 thing would have gone over better if it was not still hanging on as a weekly show..maybe a few months would have been better.

@Coastalcarolina

You are too funny - I can totally relate.

I'm not a part of this long list of 'Debbie Downers' pertaining to this complaint.

I just turned 66 and this is a non-issue.

QVC programming titles to or mentioning 50 or over just is not a trigger for me.

There are certainly much bigger/more serious issues to get one upset/unhappy about...

Lastly, I think these shows are actually quite fun...

Watching the over 50 show with Mally & Shawn right now.

This is my unsolicited opinion. @Coastalcarolina Is right on the money. Sometimes the problem .is many of us look good in our youth, and don't start early enough with some skin care and habits. (Me). Because we think, we aren't going to get "there". lol! I do think some of the few things that can help make aging better are these.

Have a good attitude,

be grateful everyday

Be active, and do some exercise daily.

Start in your youth with skin care, not 50!

laugh

dont smoke

limit drinking

get your calcium, D, and vitamins

keep connected

use retin A at 35

when all else fails....take a deep sigh, and go with the flow. ...if needed, wanted

botox

fillers

lol

QVC is a train wreck waiting to happen! There is no class on this station anymore....all crazy, silly, entertaining, etc.

I've been around long enough to have seen better days.

Over 50? ...Menopause Monday...really? QVC is not attracting new customers....losing more.

Aging men go through hormonal changes too. I think the older male hosts and vendors should be encouraged to talk about their body parts and how they don't function like they used to, low libidos, weight gain and pot bellies that are hard to control, receding hairlines and graying hair that now requires coloring...Shawn just said the "V" word is her new favorite word to say in public and is ok with it if it embarrasses others. Can you imagine if we had to listen to David or Rick talk about their "Ps"?
