Ellen's show . . . disappointing

LilacTree — Fri, 20 Mar 2015 22:39:23 GMT

First of all, I guess she doesn't show up, she has a representative.

Second, I was shocked at the products. I thought I was going to see a home decorating show.

I saw outside furniture, an umbrella, and two iron balls.

This was the first time I watched. Is this how it always is?

I find her merchandise to be very mediocre.

I doubt she'll be presenting her stuff much. I have seen her only once, maybe twice. She called in the other day.

I don't think her line is anything out of the ordinary...nothing special....maybe she's finding an ""in"" and then POW some exciting stuff!

I hate to say it, because I love Ellen but it doesn't "WOW" me at all. You can find the same stuff in Target for less.

She is very busy and has said that on her show. She has a rep but Ellen does call in when her reps on, and Carolyn went out there for the first shows. She is filming in CA and cant just drop it to come to PA, plus she is now producing 3 new tv shows.

I like her products, she has more than what you typed, and even had Christmas items. But yes theyre pricey IMO. (Everything on Q is over priced lately)

She had some Melmac dishes,coffee cups with animal prints..I agree nothing special. Same with her new show on HGTV she didn' host it either.

Didn't she do pet food on QVC?

Plus the Olay or whatever drugstore makeup line she promoted.

She is spreading herself too thin maybe, if her fans are unhappy about her not representing her lines in person.

If she can't come to her own show....then she shouldn't be selling...calling in just doesn't cut it for me...so I don't bother to watch...

She films 5 days a week at Warner Brothers. Anyone who is out there can wait for stand in tickets! Otherwise you can get free tickets for her shows. People love to go around Christmas, as she gives great gifts. But each show is nice. Sometimes she has food sent out to those waiting. She may visit them. Her shows are really great to be in. I really like her.

I saw her products from her shows, and I wasn't that impressed. But it is just I didn't need anything she has had for sale, except once. I did buy a scarf from her last show. My daughter loved it! The quality was wonderful, and the scarf was very unique, and better in person. For 28.00 bucks it was a good deal.

I agree, everything has gone up. Everything, everywhere!

I have mentioned before, that I wasn't wowed by what she was selling here. I could get similar things at Pier One or Cost Plus for a lot less.

QVC was selling outside garden stuff yesterday. Hence, "the outside furniture,an umbrella. and the iron balls."

Apparently, Ellen's "call-ins" are due to customers complaining about her not presenting her items, and it is a poor solution.

Re: Ellen's show . . . disappointing

Not to defend Ellen, but many products are sold on QVC without the vendor being there. I can see it being a disappointment to many. I would enjoy seeing her, as I did Joan Rivers. I have to say, honestly...most of the celebrities that come to promote their products are HORRIBLE. I mean bad, embarrassing. Look at Jennifer Hudson, the Kardashians, back in the day Joan Collins, Morgan Fairchild, Angie Dickinson. Loni Anderson were not good and seemed to know little about their product.

OMG, one time when "A League of Their Own" came out, JRT promoted it shamelessly! They actually drug Penny Marshall on for an interview one afternoon. it was probably the worst interview ever. I turned it off post haste! LOL! Penny did not say a word. She was either nervous, embarrassed or didn't know what was going on. I have seen her in other interviews, so she is usually good. The silence was deafening!

So, in some cases maybe it is better the Hosts take charge and do the job they are paid for, and not worry about vendors!

Maybe Ellen is not only busy, but not product oriented? She may not stay on track as a comedian?

I'm not even tempted to look at her iron balls.

Yes, this is how her show always goes. Every week it's Carolyn, Taniya and the girl who does facebook(dont remember her name). I think Carolyn said Ellen won't be on until the end of the summer. Either last week or the week before, it was just Carolyn and the Facebook girl, no Taniya. I've watched the shows, but wouldn't miss them if they went away.

They actually were nice. $38 was a little pricy though and they were on advanced order. Many were ordered before Carolyn mentioned it.

I did not know Ellen had iron balls?
