Just when I though the Q line up couldn't get much worse, it did.  The main channel is all TSV, all day and night.  Hours and hours of something like an over-priced vacuum that few are remotely interested in purchasing....or a computer, mattress, or food storage containers or....

Q2, on the other hand, is nothing but taped programs that get more stale with each showing, which happens over and over.

The time when they have a built in, captive  audience ought to be a chance to shine.  As usual, they're blowing it.  It's a good thing Mike George will have the virus as an excuse.  He's going to need one.

I hear ya, no interest in the Dyson vacuum myself, but there must be from others or why would it be a TSV?

@Kachina624 Where have you been... It's been stinko for years...  

I do get it, this might be a time when they could recoup some losses if they played their cards right, but when did they ever play their cards right... 

I'd also note the 'lone wolf' host thing is pretty hard to watch... Shows just how badly some of the newer hosts, especially, are struggling to keep up without vendors and models to bounce off of...

I don't view it that way at all, the part about needing vendors on set with them. Most of the hosts I watch never let the vendor get a word in anyways so don't see the prob with vendor not being there. LOL

I agree.  Due to stay at home orders, and a rainy day here, I checked the programming several times today, and kept seeing Dyson being presented.  

HSN was better....not that I've placed an order, but they did have more interesting products.  Some beauty, some fashion.

@stevieb    "Where have you been... It's been stinko for years"

Reread my first sentence; I know it's been awful for years!

I think..for what it's worth.......... - Q wants high percentage $  of what products sells for.  I read it some where.  Eventually AAA+ vendors walk away - they don't need the aggravation.

George S - Martha S - and others.  So cuddle duds and pajamas take  those spots b/c it gives them national TV exposure.

Getting new and good products just isn't happening.

So you expect them to risk their lives for you.

I'm sure the Q is not telling us how many of their employees are ill from the virus.

Things everywhere across the world are compromised.  

I am amazed that programming is continuing as well as it is.

As the virus spreads, you may not see any Q at all.

Well, I guess the thing is we each view it though our own eyes... I didn't say I necessarily miss the vendors or that I think the vendors should return, what I said was it's pretty glaring how woefully unprepared some of the hosts are to do solo presentations, and I'd add, especially solo presentations that are balanced, nicely paced and articulate... But I do give them kudos for making the effort...
