Re: A decision I did not want to make

I was sorry to see Jon Stuart leave hosting The Daily Show...I didn't post on sites and mourn his leaving. Comparing the grief of losing a loved one to the departure of a tv salesperson is beyond me.

I get it. You have to do what best for you.

QVC has been going down hill for a long time. Sales are always the same. Same vendors, Hiring,Firing, Odd pairings, drinking wine, hosts talking, interrupting.
TBTB don't get it and eventually lose the crazy and their business

Not watching or buying is the best form of protest.

I know it seems ridiculous to stop watching a show because of who anchored the program. Having been a grief counselor for years I soon realized people make very strong attachments and find it hard to move on when someone or something is removed from their life. 
I have been a customer for 20+ years and loved not only some terrific clothes, household items, and garden equipment, but also the banter between host and guest. 
Because of some recent changes I feel I cannot watch as regularly as in the past. I know QVC is a business and in it to make money. I just do not want them to have anymore of my money. I am just sounding off.


I find it very strange for a grief counselor to analogize a TV home shipping host being let go to a loved one dying.  I have no doubt you will get over your loss.

@Tatanoo46   It's okay for you to sound off. Sometimes it is hard to move on from something we have known for an extended amount of time. Give it a bit of time and space and hopefully, whatever is bothering you will be better.

Are you talking about Carolyn or Dan?

Re: A decision I did not want to make

I have no issue with QVC being a for profit company but also projecting a friend / family like atmosphere.   It's not like they lay people off every year.  The last layoff I can remember was in 2018 I believe.

Both characteristics can exist at the same time.

Go for it.


@faeriemoon    Do you think it'll give people a warm glow of satisfaction when the company goes bankrupt and thousands lose their jobs?
