@JJK1954 - Oh, c'mon, it's just a fun little diversion in the show! They're only showing the TSV, which they do almost every week. I'll definitely take a fun presentation with Kim and Mary over the two verrry long vacuum presentations they had last week.

I didn't take it personally and have no bias as to a shopping channel trying to increase their sales.

@JJK1954- I was annoyed with the presentation with Mary and Kim and their antics.  There was a 3 hr. Kim Gravel show after David's show.  This didn't belong on the ITKWD show and was too long.

Well I don't associate vacuums with cooking either, but they insist on extra long airings of those when they're a TSV on kitchen days.  I wasn't watching, but they could at least tie clothing  into "The big game" or celebrations or hosting.

They are constantly throwing TSV presentations during In the Kitchen that have nothing to do with the kitchen. I understand their thinking, but that's annoying. This is the first time I've seen an apparel TSV, in ITKWD. There's no way to make a smooth transition there. In the beginning of today's show, Rachel said there were going to be two special guests. I was thinking Carla Hall, or Rhee Drummond, or Jeffrey Zakarian...not Mary and Kim.😀

I adore their "antics". When they broke out singing and Mary harmonized, they actually sounded great! Made me smile. Oh and I dont purchase clothes online...I dont care, it was fun and informative. Im not a schedule when im watching on a shopping channel nor do I have an agenda

I don't see trying to sell merchandise as "desperate" when that's basically the source of your operating revenue.  Seems to be a necessary function.

It's their job, do what they have to do to sell.

I've come to the point where I see BELLE has an overflow of constant product

In order to move that merchandise it requires constant selling 

 

Kim has A LOT of product

A LOT of shirts

A LOT OF BOTTOMS

 

It is the source of the label brand. 
it's where the paycheck comes from.

 

Si get use to seeing it almost everyday.
