Going downhill fast! - Page 4

Many products are aired so often that most of us could probably recite the sales presentations...or do better than hosts.

I'm bored out of my mind with Q. I rarely watch unless something in the schedule piques my curiosity. Even then, I don't watch a whole hour.

I do not turn into Q for host antics, personal stories, useless chit chat, Elton John (though I have loved him since he first started singing), and anything other than product information. Have fun but they jumped that shark a long time ago.

I'm just one customer so maybe my opinion doesn't matter but I can't believe many others in QVC land, feel the same way. I have basically stopped watching them at all because their programming stinks anymore and their prices are far worse than amazon or anywhere else that I can find for much less the price. QVC is starting to cater to the rich and well off far more than the average pay scale anymore. Secondly, when I watch a program I don't care about product that doesn't pertain to the shoe. "in the kitchen with David" should be kitchen products......not food from every galaxy in the world! They have enough "foodie" programs, and food products to buy on their 12 hour gourmet shows that run 10 times a day at 4 - 5 hours at a clip! If they want to peddle food, then keep it on those shows. Today, in the kitchen has been on 1 hour and has had 3 food items! That's ridiculous, and David, and the team have forgotten what it is supposed to be about.....NOT FOOD! I just think this programming has gone extremely south, and so has pricing. I'm pretty much done with watching, but it's sad to see where they were, and where they are now. Just my opinion, but had to say what I thought.

It's nice to see someone else shares my view on cooking shows. I always find it annoying that after 4 or 5 hours of food shows that when ITKWD is the next show to come on the first item is..............food. As I said in another post, this is my opinion and I stopped watching because of this and just look to see what was on the show after the fact. 🍂🍃🌹

I just wish DV did recipe's on air like in the past. I am not interested in his cookbooks. Even if you didn't agree with some of the ingredients, you could always alter them to your liking. I always enjoyed that. I can also do away with the overpriced food. I had veggie rolls on auto delivery, and had to cancel one due to being away. When I wanted to re-instate it, it was $30 more!!!! Forget it.

It looks like they've moved David's Recipes to QVC+. You can access it here on the Q website. Not quite the same as the cooking shows on air, but close.🤷‍♀️

Or, here's the link to the recipe videos...

Did anyone notice that David during ITKWD today was saying the TSV Dyson V8 purple was in advance order for 12/ 3 which was wrong as it was showing advance date 11/3 that is NOVEMBER DAVID .Later on heard him say purple in advance for 11/3,did he get the message in his ear that he was incorrect .
Think there is no need to show some specials or items that have nothing to do with the show.
Lately cannot seem to be interested in watching anything he is presenting seem he is just in a trance and stares so at the product and vendor and always seems to be interrupting the vendor,plus repeats the same thing over and over about his mother using something he is presenting ,plus taking breaks never ever seen any other host doing break time.
Getting old is not fun and think more so when you are in front of a camera that is showing your decline.

@Mimi NY I don't watch it but had it on in the background. my ears definitely pricked up when David called the Dyson a Shark. He's definitely just phoning it in at this point!

@Kachina624 . I agree as far as sick to death over QVC pushing Christmas since June. Ridiculous!!!

I'm bored with almost everything on the Q. Years ago I could watch the Q for hours. Any show any hosts. Now I only tune in to select fashion shows. QVC is so different now it just doesn't appeal to me anymore.

I think Q could do more for customers for order delays, mistakes, misrepresentation etc.The last time I called was because I received someone else's order unrelated to mine which never came. A small credit to my account for my trouble sending it back would have been a nice gesture.

I just received an email from Macys concerning an item delay. It was a delay of ONE day and and offer for a free return and full credit with a note on the order receipt, delayed. One time I received two handbags and charged for one. CS told me to keep it.

I agree programming has alot to be desired. I dont want to see Q go under. I enjoy seeing articles used or modeled. I only buy Landi's pretzels so ignore most food shows. It is a Convience for some consumers who are willing to pay for it.

I agree with the food shows. I don't watch them, but I see the ads pop up in my emails $75 for 6 pounds of chicken -who the heck would pay that?
or $75 for a Bundt cake. Seems pretty ridiculous. Maybe I'm missing something.

there are many many stories in my area that I can purchase chicken or cakes for much better prices.
