I doubt it is Lisa'a absence causing a problem.I think it is bad programing.

Young hosts catering to young buyers ,selling old stuff and old fashion styles .

One item shows (vacumes/computers /ect. are too long and boring . Same ol ,same ol..........stuff being sold!

Too many mattresses, computers , vacumes and home products.

All day cooking , Expensive Food shows and those same dishes (forgot the name) that keep breaking under heat.

Products are way too expensive and no free shipping. If you buy a $29 product it costs $50 by the time you ship and tax it.

Hosts sales pitch much too strong and pushy lately.....shows are like infomercials with hackers .( example my pillow and that darn "4th range" pot or whatever it is called )

I could go on and on.......

...and yes,I use my remote and I do change the channel more and more often, most days I don't even do a Q check anymore

Even though I liked her and she was very good at her job,I don't miss Lisa at all.

I agree with everything you said!!!!

The most jarring (and slightly creepy) aspect of the FB page is the endless march of calculated, deliberate, "artfully posed" photos of Lisa, selfie and otherwise. And many of them look very unnatural - there's a kind of desperation in some of them - almost a mask-like affect (and I used affect deliberately). It's just...odd.

I like LR, but the FB stuff is odd, especially for a 50 year old woman. IMO. And don't think QVC will be "lost" without her. What may lower sales for them is their narrow marketing/branding or whatever it is called, not the hosts. Again, IMO.

Shake it up a bit with some new products, QVC!

I have to agree with you about the odd postings on LR's FB site....however, if you think about it, for a woman whom we assume is financially secure, and possibly, really doesn't need or want to work right now, to be filling her time with selfie after selfie, etc etc. postings, is odd......that being said, LR has the right to do anything she wants.....just like we do...{#emotions_dlg.blush}

I think QVC got "lost" a few years ago when they changed some of the management and started all the BORING long presentations of the same stuff over and over and over, dropping good product lines etc.

Lisa got out while QVC was continuing to tank imho. But the mess has been going on for a long time.

Couldn't agree more! And they're trying to make up for poor products by emphasizing the hosts. Doesn't work for me.

ITA. Shipping costs are a turn-off for me also.

Re: Sorry but QVC is lost without Lisa R......

I feel like the hosts are trying too hard to make up for Lisa R. not being there and I could not agree more - Lisa Robertson's leaving has left a huge void in the professionalism of QVC. She was a once in a lifetime truly qualified host to make QVC successful. I'm sure as some have pointed out, they are still making money, but it may not last - no current show host holds a candle to Lisa R. and I turn the channel frequently now in the timeslots she used to occupy.

Re: Sorry but QVC is lost without Lisa R......

I really haven't missed her at all. I found her more times than not to be overbearing and just too much. The constant commercials of her and shows with her plus she would buy almost everything she sold. Not saying that I love all the other hosts, but at least I don't have to listen to bragging for hours on end.

I totally agree with you. I love Mary Beth and some of the other seasoned hosts. I like Shawn too but I couldn't agree with you more. Well said.
