I guess some people were dying to see Shawn's Beauty Secrets but as for me, I would rather see Irish goods. I have no clue where QVC Plus is which they said would be the continuation of the Irish. I guess they have eliminated Rose of Tralee and shortened Saint Patrick's Day. Beauty rules!


I am in Dallas and have Time Warner Cable.  QVC Plus is channel 481 for me.  But like others said, there are other ways to watch it.

One of the reasons I started watching the Q about 15 years ago was the Irish shows. 

 

They used to have the decorated sets, and the musicians and dancers. It was fun.

I am sure many people were either sleeping or at work so were unable to watch.  Yes, you can review the items and watch a video, if available, but my experience has been that there is a big difference between the color of a swatch square vs video vs live TV.  In fact if I hadn't been home today I would have never ordered one of the sweaters if I hadn't caught the live presentation because it looked completely different.

 

Of course when I receive it, it's still a toss up on what the true color will be in person.  Biut I would have never taken the chance if I hadn't seen it presented.

I, too, miss having the 24 hour St. Patrick's Day shows. There's just something about seeing the items presented onscreen that often makes me decide to make the purchase. I love hearing the accents, and learning the stories behind the products. 

 

We have many, many, many hours of beauty, fashion, and kitchen products. Why can't QVC give us one full day of the Irish vendors?

I'm guessing it's all about profit.  They're a business.

Yea, agreed, we really need a few MORE hours of Shawn... and her alleged... beauty secrets. Just as we needed a few more hours of Susan Graver fashion...

 

And where IS that eye-roll emoticon...?

Some customers have a thing called a JOB and can't view the programming because they are required by their boss to be WORKING so they didn't get to see the Irish programming during the day......and it was SUPPOSED TO BE on until 9PM on QVC PLUS.....However, for some odd reason QVC shortened the St. Patrick's Day programming, which BTW provided some MUCH NEED VARIETY and in it's place what do we get MORE STALE PROGRAMMING and MORE OF THE SAME BORING Beauty Products and MORE Shawney Sue ---not what many wanted to see!!!  I couldn't change the channel fast enough!!! ......Too bad, QVC might've made a sale......
