I don't know which discussions are still there, but after reading threads here about the squirrels I looked at her public Facebook account. There were far more comments there, to which she responded online and on air -- not to the forums, based on what I saw. My experience is that the hosts and vendors are far more interested in their Facebook and, to a lesser extent, Instagram activities basically because those are more active, the majority of commenters are associated with real names as opposed to anonymous nicknames, and all the chatter associated with their QVC life is consolidated in one place rather than spread all over hundreds of threads in sub-forums.
I'm okay with the mascots. I'm okay with the people who are weary of the mascots, too. All are good people.❤️ I think it's interesting seeing all perspectives, even about the "small stuff" like little toy critters. 🐿🐿

True! I've seen the "behind the scenes" articles and tv coverage showing monitors... second by second... that indicate when customer orders peak or plummet, and the people watching the monitors tell the hosts in their earpieces to continue or to move on from topics or activities due to sales. They wouldn't continue the "mascot moments" if they weren't affecting sales positively.😊

My son interacted with him briefly so had to get tested. He tested negative but the scare we all had (and still have) makes me appreciate even more having a harmless diversion from the seriousness of my life.

@dooBdoo comments on Facebook probably do carry more weight because nicknames are not used and the hosts can respond. They get opinions, that's for sure! I have noticed in this morning's show that the squirrels are pretty quiet...perhaps a compromise for those who are not enamored.

So much for customer opinion. Maybe those of us who are sick of them will find something else to do on Tuesday mornings.

I will never forget that pooping moose and Dan Hughes selling it. I never laughed so hard at a host laughing so hard at a product in my life and that alone probably sold a ton of those things. I live for those moments on QVC.

Do they play with Acorn and Nutsy throughout the show? Or just at the beginning for ten or fifteen seconds? I've never sat through a D&C show.

I SO agree!!
Dan Hughes and the pooping moose presentations were hilarious!
I later learned that at one time, Dan did stand up comedy.....not surprised!

@Valu Skr I don't watch every show but the ones I have seen they talk about them every once in a while. But I have to say at times it is overdone and stupid. I love Carolyn and Gary's ok but if I encountered that nonsense in a B&M store I would be walking away, just sayin.
