What is happening??

snipsnapsnur — Fri, 07 Feb 2025 14:12:35 GMT

Ever since Christmas, the Q has been surprisingly boring and expensive. What is with all the generalized program names -- so general that they can include items from many different catagories. What happened to specific shows about a specific brand??

It's like they want people to tune in and out to see wth is being shown. So boring, I don't tune in nearly as often as before. Never did buy really, just enjoyed watching a specific brand here and there. Not now.

Too boring and too expensive.

Edited to add: Hours upon hours of "Gourmet" Food? Come on.....................Wreaks of desperation.

And the flip side is, people like me, are incredibly sick of Shark one hr presentations or Vitamix, or any of the other ones. Many people have asked for more variety; very specifically to the TSV's, and asked for less one hr focussed shows because they are so repetitive. Just giving the other perspective.

I've been enjoying the shows that mix it up a bit, like Morning Connection and Q The Real Talk with Jayne and Pat. I've got on the Q Check right now, and it showcases various items. I don't usually get to watch so much, but we've got too much ice outside to venture forth right now.

I am just happy they are not having an abundance of Nutrisystem and exercise equipment shows. It seems to be the case every year once the New Year passes.

I have to agree with the OP. I feel the programming has been suffering since way before Christmas though. Maybe Christmas 3 years ago! I also agree with the other thread regarding way too much focus on gourmet shows. I know everyone has different likes and dislikes and they need to show a wide variety of items but I'm sorry the gourmet shows have literally taken over, IMO.

Bored to tears, and yes I do walk away and shut if off and change the channel.........(LOL)

To be clear, I wasn't talking about a 1 hour presentation 10 times a day about one single product - TSV. I hate that. I'm talking about clothing shows, jewelry shows, makeup shows. You don't see one thing over and over, but the show is about a particular line of product. So I think you and I are really on the same page, lol.

Personally, I like shows that are a specific category. I like Denim and Co. and Susan Graver. So I will try to watch or maybe record those shows.

There are soooooo many other categories that I have no interest in, so I know I am not missing anything.

I don't want to watch a whole hour or two of a mix of things just in case there is a special deal on something I might want. That is not going to make me waste my time and watch.

I seldom tune in to watch other than to escape a Lume or Old Spice commercial on another channel. The repetition of the products and the declining quality of the on air talent and product quality along with escalating costs do not encourage me to stay. To me it's very, very sad, like losing an old reliable friend.

I wonder if it has anything to do with HSN moving in? Maybe QVC is trying to reduce overall inventory so they can reorganize. Just guessing.

@snipsnapsnur

So you've never truly purchased from QVC?

Sounds like you may have watched for anything other than buying, maybe entertainment?

That watching / entertainment ship has sailed for me for the most part as I do want to purchase however product details are lacking and antics abound.

I'll give QVC some credit. They have been introducing some new products and some new lines. That's very refreshing.

I wish it was more. Lots more. I wish all the products were given their pertinent information within a few minutes, then go on to the next. No need to drone on and on, no need for frivolity and antics.

I agree. I buy very little from QVC now. Clothes look like they have been around the block several time. The shoes too. Combined with shipping costs, difficultly of returns, and high prices, my shopping dollars are better spent elsewhere.

Agree with OP. Have thought the same thing. The channel has become gourmet food shows, Kim Gravel, Philosophy & the goat guys. So repetitive & boring. Not enough new.

When they had the new Pom purses, they sold out. Viewers want new & exciting.

I tuned in for a Belle show and switched the channel when I saw the maxi dress with the shrug -- very dated. It

wasnt there just an all day beauty event and an all day jewelry event within the past week or two? there were definitely particular lines of products show then.

just looking at the past week and the week to come.....isaac shows, philosophy, sport savvy, diamonique, clarks, sunday riley, belle, breezies, aveeda, susan graver, women with control, laura geller, logo, laura mercier, serta, american west, home reflections, peace/love/world, evelyn and bobbie, women with control, tatcha, skechers, david markstein, homeworx, lawrence zarian, and so many more. that sounds like a lot of single shows to me.

Glad you enjoyed a laugh but I couldn't remember the name of their products. Still can't!
