I think it's lovely that she honors her parents and children. How is that a bad thing?

You're not alone! I like the stories, too, proudlyfromNJ! We buy items for personal reasons, many times. Why not hear hosts tell what an item may mean to them personally!

I like Jane. She's the kind of woman I'd love to have as a friend.

Karnerblue, I couldn't agree with you more! I think it is wonderful to hear the hosts talk about their families.

I agree with you, Nananana! It really is getting old. The other night, she was on both QVC and QVC Plus at the same time! She was presenting different items, but telling the same stories about her daughters and family members. I think she need to update her style.

I agree but solved that problem long ago. I never watch her shows - can't listen to her.

Exactly how I feel about the constant complaints about her references to her family. Why on earth do you (or anyone) watch her and torture yourself, if you know she will be talking about them? It's not as if you don't know when she's the host.

I like Jane as a host and I get tired of these kinds of threads.

Venezia, you really said my thoughts. It is so old news reading the same posts from the same complainers about the hosts and their stories or memories about their families. I enjoy listening to the close family relations these hosts have now or the past memories they share. Never ever get tired of hearing about their lives. I like all the hosts and have no problems with what they want to share with us.

Throughout the years fortune, I have seen many posts comments on Jane's style. I get where some people thinks it needs updating. But at the same time watching her tonight after seeing such comments I thought to myself, this woman is in her 50's. She has been on television for 30 or so years. She isn't going to change her style. For if she wanted to, she would have done so by now.

Yes you have every right to voice your opinion. She has her ways of hosting a show, dressing in her style, as does each other host. That is what makes each of them unique. Of course, some will be drawn to some hosts more than others. I am 64 years old and have in the last few months made a concerted effort to appreciate each host for who they are, how they are, how they present themselves and the products.

Years ago Jane was hosting a Northern Nights show. She was presenting flannel sheets. There was one item number that had different choices of solid color sheets. Then another item number was a plaid set. So she demonstrated how one of the solid color choice would go with the plaid set. Then she gave the item numbers for both sets. Yes that could be viewed to sell more sheets sets. Definitely true. But to me it also showed she had prepared for the show and could present the items intelligently. I have seen her demonstrate this same skill with say a bangle and earrings that have the same design. She is prepared and for that I respect her very much.

Yes and that's how the hosts should be presenting product instead of filling air time with all this personal info. I get it that people are lonely out there and like to be caught up in the hosts lives, but I don't care for it. In my opinion Jane is self serving and pretentious.

@proudlyfromNJ I also like Jane and appreciate her joy in her life. I can't stand hosts who might as well be reading from a script anyone anywhere could use.

At that point, I can buy from a website where it's just the facts and nothing else -- no reason to bore myself listening to a host blabber that way.

Re: Jane's Reference

Pearlee — Sat, 26 Sep 2015 12:49:51 GMT

@Dell1 I don't think people have an issue with her being prepared - it's all the other stuff in her presentations that is annoying. That cancels out the preparedness for me.

One point for being prepared. - minius ten points for the hand guestures, all the talk about her family, her talking nonstop, esp. over vendors, etc. It's no contest. Glad she's prepared but since I don't listen to her for the other reaosns, it doesn't matter to me.

Jane is still living in the 50's - truly! The constant talk of her sister, parents, grandparents - I agree - quit talking about your personal life and sell the product.

She could do a lot worse.

I think Jane is well-dressed and I like her style.
