Sorry but QVC is lost without Lisa R......

ChancesMom — Sat, 31 Jan 2015 20:14:52 GMT

I have not been watching QVC all that much lately-between uninteresting programs and poor choices of hosts. The programs I have seen make me realize how professional, well informed and interesting Lisa R. was-really miss her. Q will have a hard time "filling her shoes!" It's a sad day when I prefer the "southern" channel!

It has been no different to me. I didn't watch her shows much anyway, so I've not really been affected by it. Q seems pretty much the same to me. I know a lot of you really miss Lisa, and I feel your pain, but things change in life. I miss a lot of things on tv I used to watch.

Lisa was a great host, but I'm enjoying seeing a lot of the other hosts now. Seems Lisa was on every night. Now I enjoy the variety--of course enjoy some better than others, but variety is good.

I think QVC got "lost" a few years ago when they changed some of the management and started all the BORING long presentations of the same stuff over and over and over, dropping good product lines etc.

Lisa got out while QVC was continuing to tank imho. But the mess has been going on for a long time.

I am more disgruntled with the products than any of the hosts. Especially stale old kitchen and food items and cosmetics. And the weird junk stuff they sell like the electronics and cleaning JUNK!

Couldn't agree more! And they're trying to make up for poor products by emphasizing the hosts. Doesn't work for me.

High shipping, high prices are much more of a turn off to me than losing Lisa R.

I haven't seen much difference as a result of Lisa's leaving. The products influence my choice to do business with QVC more than a host.

Lisa was the most interesting thing going on Q but don't think the ship will sink. They just want to be the most profitable and #1 shopping network but that may be the reason they are losing some viewers.

I thought Lisa was a great host, and I look forward to seeing where she turns up next -- but I don't think QVC is "lost without her". I think they're more "lost" in terms of current programming, pricing, and overall merchandise selection. They have quite a few effective hosts.

Don't miss her at all. Never watched her.

I don't think QVC is lost without anyone, trust me the money train is STILL ROLLING ON. If anyone thinks that QVC will DIE... cause one host leaves that is a mistake. The products are repetitive.. YES... while HSN has more one and done products. That is the main difference if you see something on HSN, you better order cause the item has a 90% chance of him NOT COMING BACK. While, QVC, you can be confident that the item will come back if it is sold out.

The hosts are the same as before Lisa left so that is nothing NEW. It is not like QVC hired a entire new staff of hosts. These are the same hosts from the last 5-6 years.

QVC is not perfect BUT.... thank GOD FOR QVC. I had a fire at my home and lost a lot of item and QVC was such a blessing when we moved back. I was able to re-order a lot of my favorites.

It's not as if Lisa was on all that much. By the reactions of some, you would have thought she was the host 24-7. Singlehandedly, she was not going to make or break the Q.

Very well put!

I haven't watched the Q programming in over two years, but seriously, Lisa? I found her to be very annoying to listen to and I used to avoid whatever programs she was hosting. She was especially annoying when she was with Leslie Blodgett. The only shows I felt she maintained her professionalism were the Vincenza gold shows. I don't even know who is hosting, except for the times Joel McHale covers tales of home shopping on The Soup. Where did Lisa go?

I find that I really am enjoying watching Jane Treacy she has been very entertaining to watch. I just think that QVC needs to get some new products it is the same old things day in and day out. When I look at things I bought over the years that were different and now it is the same sweepers, computers, pots and pans etc. I have a very large picture that is on a foil back ground everyone who come here comments about it. Every time the light hits it, the picture takes on a different view. Years ago there was a lot more variety.

You are so right on about this. I went from having QVC on as background noise pretty much all day two or three years ago to now only putting it on when there's something I want to see but even then I have it on mute. I don't think my total viewing even totals an hour a week anymore. The constant repetition of the same old products has really taken it's toll on the Q's programming. I check out the TSV and the LTS but that's about it for me anymore.

In my opinion, QVC jumped the shark a few years back. Sad, really. As for Lisa leaving, that has had zero effect on my programming watching.

I don't know if LR leaving has had any effect, but I have noticed a certain host is on a lot more than she used to be. Normally, a host doesn't bother me either way, but it's gone to brash and brassy on many of the fashion shows that I've watched. I've definitely lost interest because of it.
