And they dwell on TSVs much longer than they used to.

I would imagine because they know many people don't watch 24 hours per day. People work, do errands, or just simply don't care to have a shopping channel on every minute. They show the TSV several times in order to have it available for people who just might that minute be checking in.

It seems very logical to me.

I agree. I think a lot of people on these boards have their TV set to QVC semi-permanently, but most customers just catch a glimpse now and then.

QVC's ""thing"" is their TSV. They will always focus on it.

Somehow the frequency and length of presentations always seem greater the more we can't stand to hear about an item.

Not only do they have to show it on every show for at least ten minutes, but a few weeks ago, Lisa had to do a presentation of a vacuum cleaner on PM Style.

Of course I used my remote.

Sorry, I didn't realize this was such an old post!!

HSN is far worse. They had Gwen Stefani and her perfum eon the other week for two hours-They literally talked for 2 hours about the same perfume!!!!! Now that takes the cake!!!!!I did not watch it except for the 1st few minutes to know I wasn't interested in it, but kept turning back periodically, couldn't believe it!!!!!!!!!

I personall y would never buy this item-it just doesn't seem to fit on any of the models -I would never wear a pair of pants that doesn't lay flat over my tummy area -I am slim -They also look baggie at the knees\

On all the models the pant is baggy across the stomach and crotch with baggy kneees - NOT a flattering look

Don't know why they hammer away at the item. Maybe some folks want that sort of thing. Not for me.

Imo the Todays Special Value isn't SPECIAL anymore. It's

just boring reruns of the same merchandise.

It used to be something new and different and

they wouldn't even sneak

peek and it was worth catching it at midnight or the

special times during the day.

Now that it's not really new products or "special"

they go for the hard sell and have to spend more

time trying to find interested buyers imho.

One thing I also note on the TS, the prices are not all that much of a savings. Usually, $4-5 less than the price they will present it as. The Breezies are an example and the OP ring, same thing. You save the shipping price and maybe a couple of dollars more, but mostly not enough to rush to buy it while its the TS.

I would imagine they do it to accommodate all the different time zones as well as for working people to get an opportunity to view it and possibly purchase...........................................raven

You and I are on the same wave length....I've not had the TV on today but I checked the TSV online. They looked okay but I figured ,for just a $6 saving , I could decide if I want or NEED them another day. After reading the comments here about fit, I think it's a no.

There was a time, many years ago, when I would always check the TSV before I left the house in the morning......it was usually something interesting at a substantial saving. For the past few years I never even think about the TSV....I guess, in my mind, it's either going to be a Dyson or a Kitchenaid or a blender that makes soup !
