Does Anybody Else ?

[ Edited ]

Does anybody else have a difficult time watching QVC? It has changed so much over the years, some might say for the better but I don't think so. I rarely watch anymore. Half the host's I don't like listening too, they talk over the guest, interrupt and give too much information about their personal lives instead of selling, which is what they are suppose to do. I use to enjoy watching when the OG's were hosting but they seem to slowly be leaving.

I agree completely.  I just tuned in and the first thing I saw was one of my least favorite hosts with one of my least favorite vendors.  Don't know what they were selling I just moved on. 

 

My next stop had a host that I like but the show was something I can't watch for very long. 

 

I miss the old days when it was entertaining and sold products that were new and could not be found anywhere else.

Yes and I stopped watching a long time ago. I might tune in for a few minutes during Christmas items but I no longer watch Qvc. It's only a few hosts that are there now that I can tolerate to watch anyways.

I don't watch as much as I used to for several reasons including....

 

Same products over and over, it's boring, host who won't let vendors speak, silly host behavior, story telling, exaggerations by hosts and vendors regarding prices and quality, etc. 

 

I still like to watch some of the fashion presentations, but most of the time I mute the sound. If I see something interesting I turn the volume on to get info, but most of the time I just get more small talk. I use the Q website to get details and make a purchase decision. 

Have a Wonderful Weekend!

The only shows I watch are those with Valerie Parr Hill.  Even then, with certain hosts, I use the "mute" button and glance at the screen to see Valerie's ideas for displaying her pieces.  I check the website daily and look at items recently on air to see if anything looks interesting.

I like to watch absolutely. Lots of brands that I can't find out in the stores too.

I definitely do not watch the Q  as I did many years ago.    However, if there is something I may need or want I do tune in or shop on the site.  There are few hosts I care to watch , too much silly chatter, rudeness and interruptions and constant tiresome selling points.

No difficulty with watching here either.

 

I watch many shows and like most of the current hosts, with only a handful of exceptions.

BACKGROUND NOISE for me.....to drown out the creaks and groans of an old house!!!!      If I'm in the mood to buy something, I use the  Q web pages.

Yes I understand. I usually have my iPad set up wherever I'm cooking, cleaning, working and between the 3 channels I can usually find a host or vendor I can watch. Sometimes it's muted. The pressure right now must be in full force because it shows in some of the manic behavior.
