I enjoy the shows with Tara, but when she is not there, I tend to change the channel. The Springfetti set is calling my name, but I normally buy only black Floral Lace. If she did a FL in Springfetti colors, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. For me, clothing and accessory shows cause the same reaction in me that TT does in you.

YUP - ""can go under the broiler"" UGH? From complaints I read here - you couldn't pay me to try that. I continue to be puzzled - how did this young single woman with a mama start and build this dish empire? (always suspected Mr. David V was the $$ behind it)

The patterns are too busy for me plus when I do see something that I think I might like in the line, when I read the reviews there are too many bad reviews.

A funny aside, a local antique mall that I visited last fall had several pieces from the Temptations line for sale. I don't think anyone else realized what it was they just thought it looked like it was probably old.

I enjoy the shows when Tara isn't there and Lisa Gleason presents. I like her so much better. But since they refuse to bring in yellow I don't purchase anything.

Yes reviews VERY bad...but how many pieces can you have, my gosh!! What size kitchen does it take??!! Just wish QVC would start having more variety in items instead of the same old thing. I bought my first item when it was CVN...long time ago!!

Please bring other brands...want more variety!!

I agree with having variety but disagree about the "VERY bad" reviews....on the Temp-tations first page, I see 96 items...87 of those have between a 4-star to 5-star rating...what part of that is very bad???? Most businesses would be VERY happy with those numbers!! And remember, the ones that are dissatisfied are the ones that usually post reviews. If you don't like TT, that's okay but why try to distort the real info?

It is true there are a lot of good reviews. However when you look at them a lot of the good reviews are made by people shortly after getting the item home and even some of them say things like it is pretty but is too small for the purpose but I'll keep it anyway. A lot of the negative reviews are by people who have had them a little longer and they say things like how easily they break and chip when hand washed - some even talk about how the color just flakes off etc. For me, I don't want a product that I HAVE to hand wash or else it will break and then it still might.

Personally on this, and other products, I put more stock into reviews from people who have actually used the product for a while than from those who recently got it and think it is beautiful. Another thing I look for in reviews is consistency. If there are a lot of good reviews saying how great a product is and how wonderful it works, but there are also a lot on that same product about how it was defective from the start, arrived broken, worked sporadically etc then I won't buy the item because clearly the quality control is lacking.

Temptations are great looking but crack in the oven. They are great at replacing but it happens again.
