I was excited about the Kitchen shows starting late Sat and running all day Sun. till I looked at the line up. Keurig, Vitamix, temptations and lock and lock it looks like. Same ol, same ol.

That's too bad,infomercials. I used to like In the Kitchen with David but now I just preview the items online. The Q must have sweet deals with the handful of vendors. They used to even televise from innovative kitchen expos. Those days are gone.

I don't really watch anymore so tired of the same vendors and products and don't even go online anymore because there is nothing new.... Hopefully the Q will realize they are losing their base and do something to make the show interesting like it use to be, until then I shop around.

How dare they put their biggest sellers on television repeatedly to make money?

Do they not realize that their priority is to keep us entertained with variety because we are bored or too lazy to change the channel?

I'd love to see them offer us some variety in their cooking/kitchen shows - like a host who really cooks instead of just dumping little dishes into a big bowl, or different products that most of us don't already have. Emeril comes to mind. I could easily watch him for an hour every week!. I can also watch some of the QVC gals - Carolyn, Jill, Mary Beth, etc. When something or someone gets monotonous, it's time for me to look elsewhere.

Sure, there are some people out there who don't yet have a Kuerig or a VitaMix, but eventually something new has to come along. I hope QVC is out there looking for those new things now. I often see new kitchen things on television in the middle of the night. They're out there - we're just not seeing them on QVC.

That was a nasty post. Speaking for myself, I don't watch any TV shopping shows to be entertained. I watch them to see & learn about merchandise that I may want to buy.

I do change the channels of anything I'm watching b/c of being bored.

JMO, changing channels of TV shopping should be the last thing they would want a viewer to do.

And until they run out of repeat customers who already own two Keurigs, but get seduced into buying yet another "new" one. (I know one such person.)

Funny, I don't even turn on the channel anymore, but my husband occasionally will tag a kitchen presentation - I can fast forward through that puppy in 10 minutes to see it's the same old, same old. Yet I've been on the wait list for the one new product I'd seen there in months...it will be six months from its presentation before they "estimate" it will be in stock again. Darn me for wanting to buy something from them!!!

The products are good.....but, how about some newer products? Surely, the qvc-buyers are monitoring new products , or at least they should be.

The only reason I'd want these products now is if I wanted to get one as a gift....

(weddings, graduations, etc. ).

I hope they don't try to show a "kitchen appliance/gadget" as a Valentine's gift !!

Anyone want a complete set of Lock-n-Lock from their honey for Valentine's Day ??
