I mute the lot of them. I close caption if I hope for information on the item being shown, but usually, I just read about it online.

Carolyn has gotten way out of hand.  I cannot watch her anymore.   I bet that was embarrasing for Gary.    I feel sorry for him that he has to put up with her.

 

She seems to think she can get away with anything, just like a few other hosts.  And yes, that baby talk is ridiculous.  What is the point?

@lanna We live in a baby talk world of junior high mentality. It has to be all puppies and rainbows and sprinkles on our cake pops eaten for 50th wedding anniversary parties.

 

We call grown women "adorable!"  Adult behavior is not valued, and life is supposed to be just do what you want and mommy and daddy or the govt will make it all better. 

 

Sorry, it just amazes me where I come from--but I'm old and out of touch.  And I know it!  Woman Embarassed

There must be a target audience for baby talk, happy dances, and yum yum faces because someone in charge should have stopped the nonsense by now.

I cannot and will not watch that kind of nonsense.  I haven't  bought from QVC for a very long time.  QVC was my go to for so many things.  I thoroughly enjoyed watching the hosts and the presentations.  Now it's just an annoyance.  It doesn't look like it's going to stop...

Sooner, if you're old and out of touch, then you and I are in the same club. I completely agree with you.

@Sooner 

 

I call it the infantilization and moronification of America.

 

Adults are now Kidults....dressing in the clothing of perpetual childhood ( pajamas to the store???? I was ONE the last time I did that.)...

 

Droopy mismatched clothing hanging out all over, and blankies blankies blankies to wrap up in ( throws) or the epitome of kidulthood....wearable blankies.

 

Thumbholes,  that "vulnerable" pigeon-toed stance when showing adult women modelling clothes, adults guzzling on the ever present nipple-proxies on water boppies, oversized kiddie socks ( sherpa!!!!) and now baby talk.

 

All we need are thumbguards so thumb-sucking can become "in" for kidults ...DO it in the store!! In church!!! At a business meeting!!!  While you're wearing your jammies in the airplane and you're cuddling your support rat!!!!

 

It's a childish, silly, selfish world of ME ME ME  "If I don't get MY way or if I  lose at parcheesi I'm going to hold my breath til I turn blue and stomp my feet..."

 

Sheeesh.

Agree Othereeeen.

 

And another point, PLEASE stop butchering the English language! Just one example of this, there is no such word as "Anyways". The word is "Anyway". I have become so tired of it, if I hear a person say "Anyways" I immediately correct them and tell them the word is "Anyway". 

 

Too bad if they don't like it. I do it ANYWAY.
