Watching QVC to avoid commercialism!

 

Hysterical!  I never lack for amusement here!

I must say I was sadly disappointed with QVC on rerunning products for sale as opposed to what they normally did in the past. every Christmas I kind of look forward to seeing what David was up to over the Christmas holidays or just getting to know the different hosts and their traditions etc. it was a nice break from the commercialism that takes place the rest of the year. I was pleasantly surprised to find the gem shopping Network was doing it. they even did a touching tribute to a host that had passed away recently. disappointed in you QVC I hope you make up for it next year.

Keep in mind that if they do special programming for one faith based  holiday, they would have to do the same for others.  And then where does it end?   Doing behind the scenes type stuff on an assortment of holidays would seriously cut into QVC's profits.  Like it or not, the bottom line is what QVC is ultimately about. 


Uh, no. QVC already screams Christmas a good 5+ months out of the year. 'Special' programming on Christmas Eve would clearly not require any alteration to their normal approach to programming. Personally, I wouldn't likely be watching either way, as I tend to do other things on that evening.

I believe this type of programming is available year around on QVC's streaming platform.

Uh, it was a suggestion. 🙄

No one really knows how they make their decisions and choices.

You shouldn't even be watching tv on Christmas! Turn it off and be with your family. Sad.

 

 

 

 

 

@ID2 , I noticed you commented on several posts on Christmas morning.  I wonder why you did not "turn it off and be with your family"?
