Another awful Sunday programming day!!!

just wonder — Mon, 07 Apr 2014 01:26:27 GMT

Does QVC not get that those of us who work 5 days a week would appreciate better viewing on Saturday and Sundays, especially Sunday? Another Sunday of no fashion til SG at 10 p.m.; no jewelry; no home decor, no cosmetics or beauty, etc. Have not watched a single moment of QVC today. And Saturdays usually are not much better. I totally get that everyone does not like to watch all jewelry, all beauty, all clothing, etc. But why can't we see some of these shows on the weekends, instead of constant dose of vacuum cleaners, blenders, computers, sleep beds and on and on. Why can't you ever over saturate these shows during the week between 8-5 like you constantly do on weekends, QVC, instead of having all the good clothing designers, jewelry shows, VPH, etc. on the weekday, work time slots. WE DESERVE BETTER ON WEEKENDS; MORE VARIETY AND NO COMPLETE REPEATS OF COMPUTERS, VACUUMS, SLEEP BEDS, KITCHEN STUFF ETC. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! QVC weekend scheduling is a joke!

I watched a little bit of Dooney and that was about it. Even that was pretty lame... The weekends are bad, more times than not, and frankly, the weekdays, as a rule, aren't looking a whole lot better. I guess this is what happens when the choice is made to offer so little variety and to simply repeat the same brands relentlessly. It's a shame.

Your right grandma c......

The programming is downright ridiculous especially on the weekends.....like Stevie the only thing I watched was a bit of the Dooney Show and immediately turned it to my Spurs basketball game before a yawnfest, Sleep Number came on QVC........

I watched less than 10 minutes of ITKWD and that's all for Sunday.

Oh gosh, I gave up on that kitchen long ago... Talk about the same old song every week and, as seems to be the focus of another thread, the host seems not to be increasingly not all that attentive to the proceedings, which is probably understandable but doesn't make for a great show.

Agree. Weekend programming is dismal. QVC is almost becoming an Infomercial Channel.

Beds almost all day long... Boring.. And D&B bags also... it seems like they were showing the same bags all though the day. I had a bad cold otherwise I would be out and about on a Sunday!

I watched a few minutes of ITKWD, but nothing else. And it's been that way for many Sundays now. And Saturdays haven't been much better. Typically, I watch Leah's show on Saturday morning and then off goes QVC for most of the rest of the weekend. Sad, but nothing on to hold my interest any more.

Don't even look at the lineup for next week... Time for more suds in bowls as Philosophy again takes center stage on Saturday and Sunday isn't to be believed as the incessant drivel continues with yet another day devoted to computers and Dyson... Honestly, it's reached the point where there's no reason to even look to see if it's worth tuning in because you just know it isn't. Their programming has become one endless loop of the same things all the time.

Funny you should mention those "suds" from Philosophy. I returned mine when I read this product (at least mine did) contain Sodium Laureth Sulfate which creates the "foam." When I see the show host or rep repeatedly squeeze that buff-puff, I cringe since customers are probably ordering this thinking they will be lavished in healthy bubbles. For the price of this product, a more natural ingredient could be substituted.

I rarely watch QVC on weekends. Nothing of interest to me, the only thing I usually watch is AM Style.

It's been my take on the weekend programming that products are offered that are a husband AND wife decision ..... or a joint decision for a couple ...... pricier products like beds, lazy boy chairs, vacuum cleaners, etc.

A woman can buy a handbag any old day of the week.

Wow, stinky programming isn't just for weekends anymore. Take today, for example. It's pitiful...

ITA. Checked the schedule for the day before and thought it must be Sunday again.

Another day I won't be watching.

Yesiree... almost EVERY day is Sunday on the Q... and then Sundays are, well, just SO extra special...

The last time I watched Q was the gold rush day in January. Before that, I think it was the gold rush day in August 2013.

I've completely lost interest in most of what Q sells....those same, repeating, 12 products aren't needed or wanted. But obviously they must sell or Q wouldn't show them week after week after week after week.

If I want to order something, I look online and order. No need to watch goofy hosts, dancing, and speed talkers.

This is diamond month but I still haven't watched any shows. If they were on, they were all silver and this gal can't wear silver. I looked at some of the new 14k diamond jewelry and there is just one item I'd buy if it ever went on easy pay. I could buy it outright but I guess the hesitation tells me I may not want it that bad.

I haven't had it on since Friday's LRS and frankly, I barely paid attention to that. I certainly didn't have it on, even for a minute, yesterday and I sure as heck won't have it on today...

Quite frankly, I think that Philosophy bath products are not that great and don't really lather all that well. Who repeatedly squeezes the puff for lather when they take a shower?? I know I don't! I really dislike those demos. And who rubs the same bit of lotion on their arms for 5-10 minutes like the models do? Not me.
