Unwatchable, completely unwatchable

That's all I have to say.

Me, too. I quit watching the news over a year ago. HGTV, the History channel, and lots of mystery reruns as well as many, many more books than usual.

It's actually worked well for me.

@faeriemoon Perhaps say a little more???

I'm not at all sure what you are seeing at the particular time you wrote your post. Thank you.

@Caaareful Shopper It was a general rant about Q holiday programming in general. I'm guessing post #2 was a scold about post #1. (In the event I couldn't find something else to do besides watch the Q.)

Oh, OK. I got it now, thanks @faeriemoon

It is @faeriemoon and, to me, it has been for a long, long time so I just gave up... And as for any scolding, who cares... It's mind-numbing...

Ditto and so is the website.

some of the Lunchtime specials seem like more cost than regular pricing should be!

Oy @faeriemoon... I just noted the source of the 'scolding'. Nothing personal, I'm sure she's a lovely lady and one who I sometimes agree with on these boards, but also one who never lets an opportunity pass to advocate for the dear old Q, no matter what... Clearly, because this is as bad as it's ever been and I don't see how it can get any worse...

Unwatchable, and disappointing.

/sigh

Personally, I just stay with the forums and an occasional video.

If I'm flipping channels, I'll stop for Alberti (who is never on enough), Carolyn, Mary Beth, and a few others but that's it.

@ECBG, it's been so long since I've seen Alberti I thought he was gone. He has not even been on the Friday Night Beauty the few times it has aired in October and November. That said there's no reaso why he hasn't been given a hosting assignment for some of the holiday gift shows. I'm sure he could show a Luminara candle or the Duraflame as well as any other host.

Agree...flipping thru channels is the only way I ever see the Q. I stopped watching the channel sometime ago. I turn on to the website and to see if any interesting items have been presented. The needed/ wanted item choices are becoming fewer and fewer.

Nannerbelles — Mon, 28 Nov 2016 19:07:15 GMT

I completely agree. Have not done any of my Christmas shopping with QVC this year. I don't sleep well and normally I will put on QVC in the middle of the night but I can't even do that for something in the background. Thank goodness the Hallmark Christmas movies are on all night.

@stevieb LOL. I too stick up for the Q when warranted (some people have the stupidest complaints), but there is no way I can say anything good about the programming from November 1 until Christmas. It starts to get obnoxious in July, but once you get to November, it's, for lack of a better word, unwatchable.

Re: Unwatchable, completely unwatchable

stevieb — Mon, 28 Nov 2016 19:20:17 GMT

@faeriemoon So true... I've seen some pretty lame complaints about the old Q... but sadly, for me, programming is not among them and yes, especially at this time of year...

I agree... In the day, my wish list was pages long... Now, we're practically talking single digits...

Hosts too are part of the problem, but one has to assume their behavior is being dictated by management... Regardless of the hosts, though, the item selection is just dreadful and, adding insult to injury, grossly repetitive with presentations that are just too long... Like I said, mind-numbing...

Stevie, It will get worse when the leave is over for a certain host.

@Trix,I've seen him in videos when I've looked at a piece of clothing on the review. Surely, they'd keep someone SO good!

Are you aware he used to sing? Beautiful voice too!

@Trix

Alberti is on the Beauty IQ channel Wednesday-Sunday night. I watch him instead of the other host for Friday Night Beauty. He hosts five nights a week with Elise (sp), and they are quite the comedic pair.
