Too Much Judith Ripka, Philosophy, Temptations, Graver, etc.....

Lotus — Sat, 12 Jul 2014 15:21:43 GMT

I feel like all we see lately are the same brands over and over and over again. After awhile they lose their appeal.

I would love to see some of the old Sterling Shows with generic brands and the quality of yesteryear....SS has not gone up that much that the Q can not find some new vendors with affordable selling prices. JMHO

I'm sick of seeing Ripka items too....I know some of you collect her designs and love her (I was never a huge fan) but I think the market is over saturated with this "designer's" pieces.

I think QVC really needs to take another look at their programming....whole days of Philosophy, Ripka, Graver or whomever, is too much.

Give us more assortment.

Anyone else agree?

At least that certain someone who squeezed and fondled his bags hour after hour isn't around.

not much to watch anymore.

They just seem to latch on to certain vendors and then kill us with them.

I don't remember it being like that when I first started watching about 12 years ago.....or was it?

I have to agree...as I have said recently...HSN has much more variety and their sales are awesome. I have been spending much of my time and money there. They give us kits, "REAL" sales and a lot more choices.

ITA. I don't know why so much of the same. I enjoy jewelry in particular but I am tired of JR every other month, Really? I'd like to see more Michael Dawkins and Jai Hardy. And for the kitchen and home, more Le Creuset and Valerie Par Hill.

These shows are on a lot. It's the same three or four vendors over and over and over again. Susan Graver is on almost every single day. Variety would be nice.....and lower shipping costs, too.

Add Dyson and Kitchen Aid to that list!

PLEASE don't forget WEN !!! And soon will start again with the endless Flameless Candles.

Of late it's been Clarke's and Vionics, bleep !

QVC is more boring than it's ever been in it's 28 years. RIPKA,RIPKA,RIPKA, etc.

Before Philosophy, does anyone remember Lather, and wasn't there a line called Pure, or something like that?

Philosophy has chased off all of the old nice soap and bath products, some were so luxurious, and not as expensive. They don't give you as much variety these days in products.

If you want bras and panties, you have to buy Breezies. Coffeemakers...Keurigs.

Skin and bath...Philosophy. Plants and garden...cottage Farm.

Beds...Sleep Number.

Linens...Northern Nights.

etc., etc., etc., ad nauseum.....

Weekends they show about 3 different products. This weekend it's Ripka and the usual computer. And let's not forget the Sleep Number beds and vacumns. Their program is lacking especially on the weekends.

what really shocks me is paying for food with monthly payments ---for instance : a ham or turkey----3 or 4 months after you've eaten it, you're still paying for it ----hmmm?

Every time I try to watch HSN, it looks like they're trying to hold a convention in a closet. It must be a very small place. I can never watch any longer than five minutes.

HSN features the same vendors over and over. Diane Gilman and Andrew Lessman have a lot of TS.(s)

There are many online retailers to choose from. Nobody should have to settle for the merchandise being presented on this channel.

I know I have seen enough of Ripka.......seems like she is the diamonique queen now...... What's with that....... I thought she sold her business......did she or didn't she?????

Really, I don't watch the Q on weekends........unless, of course, there is a D&C show on.

As far as Graver is concerned, can't stand to watch her anymore.....so, I don't.......

The Q is in a rut and don't know how to get out of it.........

I rarely watch anymore, and one of the reasons is, the redundancy.

I am tired of all the food, the constant Judith Ripka, the ugly clothes, sleep number beds, and shoes! Shoes! Shoes! Shoes! And again today....the TSV..........shoes!

Even my favorites have become boring....Valerie Parr Hill for one. If I see one more sphere or light up something-or-other, I think I will scream. Now, we have the annual Christmas in July in a week or so, and I will bet you any money, the entire day will be filled with lit up everything. Snowglobes, lit greenery, lit candlesticks, lit ornaments, lit toys...etc.

Of all the vendors I think JR has been on less and less. I do not mind her shows.
