So disappointed in Q programming

Krimpette — Thu, 07 Dec 2017 19:21:46 GMT

I had some time this afternoon to sit down and watch some TV. I was looking forward to Jill's gift show. I'm so disappointed! Vacuum cleaner? Humidifier? Dusters? Outlets? So now, I'm watching the gem shows on Evine. Guess which feels more like Christmas gifts I'd like to give!!!! C'mon Q.....you can do better!

@Krimpette The Q has disappointed me so much over the last year, I do not even turn it on anymore, do not even miss it!

Yes, the programming really stinks. How the heck do these hosts get excited to sell this stuff? It would be so hard......I haven't watched a full show on QVC in a very very long time......I did however watch some of Kim Gravel's show last night on QVC2. Sometimes in the morning while eating breakfast, I will turn on the morning show, and take a peek, but this time of year the programming is awful.........so repetitive.......

I love a good practical gift, but I agree, there is not much 'gifty' that I'm seeing on Q as we get closer to the holiday.

What happened to candles (real and flameless), nice but not overly expensive jewelry, seasonal home decor items, etc?

Because they don't do things like Tiffany lamps, baskets, bears, Waterford etc any more, I would think that during November/December would be a great time to have a show or two featuring those kinds of items (not necessarily a whole hour of any one of them, but some of all of them in a show instead) as they are still very giftable.

I see the same things they sell all year long some of them just boxed for the holiday. Where is the new stuff, the unique stuff, the stuff that used to make us go "WOW"?

But we know they are making a ton of money,people buy if not they would not be on.

@Krimpette, Totally agree with you. I have not watched in weeks except for about 10 minutes. I am sick of seeing "Gifts" for the program. This is the worse time of year for watching QVC.

@Mominohio You know, you're so right! I had actually forgotten about the Tiffany lamps, hand made baskets and bears! I even bought some of those things.

@2blonde

People will complain that those things are 'out' and no one buys them anymore.

I agree, they may not sell like they did back in the day, but couldn't we sacrifice one hour per week for the six weeks leading up to Christmas, to do a show with those kinds of items? I mean would Josie Maran or Susan Graver pack up and leave if we took just an hour or two away from them?

Just think how much money we are saving by not having anything to buy! Plus we don't have to worry where our packages are going, etc.🎄🎁📦🚛

I completely agree. How about an "Isaac Gift" show, showing his cashmere scarves, hats, items that truely ARE gifts?! I look forward to January for the only reason that the Q goes back to normal programming.

All the complainers aren't watching or buying due to lack of interest, but it does not stop you all from taking time out of your day to complain about the Q's offerings.

@Mominohio I was actually surprised to see a few jewelry shows but they are on in the wee hours of the morning on the east coast. I agree with you that most of the items on the "gift" shows are not items I would give as a gift.

I mostly tune out QVC this time of year unless I happen to get lucky and stumble on a show I might find interesting.

Well, thanks for your words of wisdom! Maybe some people just don't like the programming and want to voice an opinion.

This reasoning is rather like working on a Federal holiday. Everyone else is at home enjoying their day. Folks in charge keep telling us we are luck as there is no traffic to contend with.

@Krimpette

And repeat shows ..... If QVC ever had to change the name, they should call it "The Re-Run Channel".

I def agree.....BUT add to that January & Feb with all the New Year New You shows, Diet products , exercise equipment, etc. So maybe back to normal programming by end of Feb/March....

This has, without a doubt, been the worst Christmas ever on QVC. What do all those highly compensated executives, like the director of product development, do all day?

That's an assumption a lot of people seem to make and while I'm sure they do still make a lot of money, their financial reports have actually not been very postive now for quite some time. Sort of makes you wonder why they don't mix it up. We all know the old saying about doing the same thing and expecting different results. Their array of 'gift' shows are just dreadful and yes, I agree it was nice to see Evine offering jewelry during holiday gift season and in prime time too.
