So much has changed!

BarbieGirlie2 — Sun, 20 Nov 2016 03:44:46 GMT

I used to watch the Q all the time back in the early 2000s. We lived in an apartment and had free cable included in our rent. But in 2004 we bought a house, and so we no longer had cable. I went to the Q website less and less as time went on.

But last weekend, I discovered that I can watch on regular, free, broadcast television with our digital bunny ears. I had no idea over this was a thing! I hadn't watched in twelve years. Wow. Crazy.

So much had changed, it seems. So many hosts I knew are gone... So many new hosts I don't know. I have seen some reps I know (like Dennis Basso and Valerie Parr Hill), and have seen a lot of new faces. People have retired, some have passed away, some I have no idea what happened to them.

And this forum is neat! I look forward to chatting with y'all.

I used to watch all the time. Now I tune in sometimes. I don't know the hosts and guests at all. Very few are left.

I'll say its changed. I remember when it first came on , my friends and I all made fun of shopping channels . However, a shopper is a shopper and before long we were watching, even though the products were a bit lame.

Watch it for about a week. You'll soon feel at home. All the products are so repetitive. Some of the same hosts are still there too.

You may be happy to learn FlashPad is still very popular.

Thanks for the welcome, y'all!

I was in my 20s and a career gal when I watched before, and now I am in my late 30s with two kids (9 years and 6 months) and just became a SAHM a year and a half ago. My daughter likes to watch the Q with me - It's adorable.
