Are There Shows You Miss That Were Previously on QVC?

So many of the vendors that I previously enjoyed on QVC come to my mind. Years ago, I particularly liked the pairing of Linda Davies and Mary Beth Rowe on the Liz Claiborne shows. Both of these lovely ladies were so professional, well-informed, calm, and both were a real joy to watch. When the Liz Claiborne shows disappeared, it had such a niche that no other hosts or programs have been able to replace it (just my opinion). There are still many buyers who will always favor classic styles over trendy clothing. Recently, it seems that QVC's emphasis has seemed to be much more focused on "trendy".

I mostly miss Hagit Gorali. And while I enjoy the HSN craft shows, I miss the craft shows that QVC used to have several years ago (not any of their more recent attempts).

Tacori, Verragio....although I probably wouldn't be purchasing jewelry today these two companies continue to produce beautiful designs. I also miss the quality bears and dolls that I would purchase as gifts.

@Krimpette I miss the craft shows, too! It also seems there are far less jewelry shows recently. I will miss Judith Ripka, even though she will still be designing, and her jewelry will still be on QVC. The same goes for the Linea line; so many of us will miss Louis. I am so glad his beautiful designs will continue to be sold on QVC.

There are people and shows I used to watch that I might still tune in to see if they were around. The problem is that the shows from the past that I might watch aren't the shows I'd be likely to buy from at this time, so it's all nostalgia and that doesn't work well in business or anywhere else except maybe greeting cards and scapbooks.

Funny, I was going through some clothing recently and came across a number of nice 'Fashion Formula' pieces I bought back in the day. Even cooler, they were virtually new. It was a nice line of casual pieces that look nice and not sloppy.

I miss the Victorian themed shows that Lisa Mason usually hosted. I purchased several items from those shows. I have a gorgeous fussy hat on a stand that I still display in my bedroom. I also miss the Silver Style shows with Jane Treacy and Jill Bauer. Lisa Robertson always had lovely, elegant Christmas decor in her Christmas shows. I rarely purchased but enjoyed watching. The Liz Claiborne shows with Linda Davies and Mary Beth Roe were fun to watch.

I have been watching QVC almost since the begining, and I remember when they would really decorate the set for St. Patricks Day, Halloween, Kirk's Folly.

Everything seemed more laid back than it is today.

I also enjoyed watching the 50-in-50 tour.

Or, how about when a caller would call in to the show, and tell the host, "My friends and family call me the QVC Queen, because my whole house is filled with things from QVC! Oh, and can you say 'Hi' to my great-aunt Berta? She just loves you!"

I don't know if callers callthemselves "QVC Queens" any more, as it's been a long time since I watched a full hour of QVC.

I also remember watching when they would have musicians on, and they would perform a few songs.

Or when they would sell die-cast NASCAR cars, and they would have a driver on there, like Dale E. Jr.

Unfortunatly, those days are long gone, and never to return.

Tacori for QVC. I loved the jewelry. Loved the old formula for Diamonique. The stones looked so much more realistic than the current Diamonique CZs. Loved the Epiphany shows. Loved the 18K gold shows.

Several years ago when I first started watching the Q, there was a show every Friday afternoon called, "Shawn Says Accessorize." I would watch it every Friday on my lunch break. I miss it

When I saw your title, the first thing that came to my mind too was the Liz Claiborne show with Linda Davies and Mary Beth.

I miss Sport Savvy and Denim & Co. moleskin pants and tops. The fabric wasn't flimsy like now days.

Just thinking how much I miss Carolyn Pollack and American West. She is on every once in awhile but rarely for more then an hour in 24. Used to have great TSV and loved her with Jill Bauer and Mary Beth. Ahh the good old days.

I used to love the jewelry shows hosted by Lisa R, Lisa M, and Mary Beth. I also miss the jewelry shows from Italy.

Shows with Joan Rivers and Kathy Levine were priceless. The items were presented and the audience entertained.

There was a show that had Asian products. I believe the vendor was Yi Lin. She and her brother traveled around Asia and brought their finds to the Q. There isn't anything like that now.

Beauty by Tova - one hour shows, several in one day or over a weekend.

Bold Gold--thick solid polished gold pieces, when I saw something I liked, prices never deterred me.

@phoenixbrd Wonderful memory! I miss Dave James presenting Tacori, and purchased several beautiful pieces that he presented during the late night hours. I also remember when Marie Osmond had the most beautiful dolls that became collectibles. That was a nice memory. This is the second thread about QVC of yesteryear that I have seen today, and I am thoroughly enjoying this trip down memory lane.
