Zilch!

I don't like the Christmas shows either

Re: How often do you watch QVC?

I only watch when someone here says, "W T H ..." and then I turn it on to look. I used to watch certain jewelry shows as must-see-TV, but it's been many years.

Re: How often do you watch QVC?

Live?: Very-rarely, and usually as background noise.

Occasional videos of items?: Sometimes, and usually when I want a much more-realistic color depiction than the photos used.

Re: How often do you watch QVC?

I don't watch much anymore. I realize it's a business, but the repetition, particularly of brands and products in which I have no interest, has become legion. Added to that, the focus on social media, and the way hosts are clearly being instructed to act simply leaves very little motivation for me to watch or to turn on QVC, even for background noise, as I once did. I still watch occasionally, but it's becoming more and more of a rarity.

Re: How often do you watch QVC?

There is a criteria to post here? Hey, if the Q allows us to post here without having to watch a show or buy anything, so what? This is not a private club here. It is an open chatboard - and people can actually READ the comments here without posting or logging in - gasp!!

That said - I don't really watch the Q too much anymore. I work and then I have outside interests. I love chatting with my long time friends here, but that is outside of the Q.

If I watch the Q, it will be either on the web, with their videos, or if it is a special that I want to catch (maybe the season premier of a fashion designer I like)

I do shop here and I post here. I didn't know I had to watch 50 gazillion hours of Q programming as well.

Hoooorrrraaaayyyy. For once I think you and I agree on something. I have said this for a long long time...... Believe every time I see a thread similar to this one. See my post #9 above to minkbunny...... I never ever get an answer to this kind of question. But yet these folks come on here and gripe about what the Q is showing and selling. Maybe it would be a good idea if the Q would check the purchasing records of some of these posters, and if they haven't purchased anything for more than a year, don't let them post on here until they do purchase something.

I have never seen minky gripe about what the Q is showing or selling.

good grief. and your last statement tells me all I need to know about you.

Re: How often do you watch QVC?

I agree with you last 2 posters, what business is it of anyone how much people watch or buy here?

I never watch QVC programming, haven't for probably 11-12 years or so. If somebody says look at so and so's hair or clothes or something, I will click on Watch Live but I don't shop at the Q so have no reason to watch their programming.

minky....have a question.....if you don't watch the Q or purchase anything from them, then why do you use their boards to chit chat with others.....????? Do you think that is really fair to the Q?????

{#emotions_dlg.scared} Fair to the Q? How sad.

Re: How often do you watch QVC?

most younger people watch via the web, at their own time, for many things. This is old way of watching the Q on TV when the show is actually on is a thing of the past. Just like those days when you HAD to purchase the item shown on TV when it was shown on TV - that became impossible when the internet arrived.

People's viewing habits - for news, for entertainment, for shopping - has changed drastically and the Q will probably follow this format in the future.
