Stop the stupid programming like Menapause Monday and over 50 with screaming Hosts.   These programs are killing them.   Get more professional Hosts that talk about the products not their dancing daughters.

Oh, I SO agree! It's one thing to know your audience, it's another to clown around and be silly about it. I like knowing some about the hosts as individuals, but not at the expense of a good description about the product. Genuine enthusiasm is great (yes, even knowing it's a sales pitch!), it's a fine line keeping genuine and not becoming cartoonish. 

It's a different shopping world, I hope QVC can find its place.

Something to consider:

There may be fast & furious price fluctuations now and in the coming months.  QVC/HSN may try to get rid of inventory on some brands by pricing select items down.

I just checked two recent purchases I made on HSN and got back a total of $37+ because the prices on both items dropped within a week.

@Caaareful Shopper Yes, very good point. There could be more deals to be had.

Good news for all of the unsecured claim trade and service vendors.

An order entered in Bankruptcy Court today allowing QVC Group to pay all of these existing unsecured claims.

This will be one of the swiftest debt restructurings I've ever seen since it's pre-packaged with the major lenders/creditors.

Let's be very honest here. QVC has been mismanaged for years. They don't need all of those channels that they broadcast on. They don't need shows to have two hosts and an OAP. Why does Mally get her own show? what does she add to the programming other than behaving like an idiot a lot of times. Why did Kim gravel get her own studio in her hometown? They have too many hosts making too much money selling the same old ******.  How many shark vacuums can they sell? How many Vitamix products? It's the same food over and over and over again. Why all the Slatkin?  their product lineup is old and stale right along with most of their show hosts. Back in the beginning, we would watch QVC a lot during the day and night And now we don't watch it hardly at all because the clothes look the same the items they sell look the same and it's just gotten out of control with all of their stupid show hosts.

And, Why do the show hosts Have to act like complete immature idiots? Menopause Monday? Seriously? And when some of these hosts get together, they act like 10-year-olds with their dancing and they're giggling and their total immaturity. Kim is just as bad as some of the other hosts she's gotten too big for her bridges instead of focusing on a couple of very high-quality products. She now has to sell 20 million different things. Do what you're good at and stop trying to do a money grab and sell everything.

Say what! There hasn't been anything truly innovative or compelling here in ages and the only unforgettable moments relate back to how bad the programming has become and how inane some of the on-air antics continue to be... Get real...

I received an email from QVC yesterday announcing the bankruptcy.

On Good Morning America today they announced the bankruptcy and HSN was included.

I hope the best for QVC, I've been shopping for many years.

@darcie 100% agree.   I stopped watching BECAUSE of the hosts.   

[stevieb]

I believe HSN and QVC are both part of the 'QVC group' so it only makes sense that they are included. It's just too bad that Garnet Hill, Frontgate, Grandin Road and Ballard, none of which have anything to do with the on-air fiasco, are also likely included.
