It's RIDICULOUS how OFTEN QVC shows a TSV!!

Enough said and enough already with the longgg drawn out presentations. Don't even bother tuning in anymore as the TSV is all that's ever on!! Thought QVC would be trying to gain customers, not alienate them! Geesh!

 

And what's even more mindboggling is the title of a show will be Great Gifts and the TSV is STILL presented for 30-45 min in those hours too, only to have the next hour be completely dedicated to the TSV! It doesn't make sense at all. 

 

It's so mundane.

You are so right and it gets worse each year! Why do they pay all the different hosts on when they can just run one spot for the entire day? They seem to have made weekends prime infomercial time but somehow have outdone themselves this weekend. Incredible! I'm not going to even bother checking in because all I'll see is the TSV.

I know that some will say , change the channel if you don't care for the programming. The thing is , the more you do that the easier it is to just forget about QVC, and stop watching altogether. I'm not sure exactly what the answer is, but I know I rarely watch anymore, and I'm not alone.

I really think some companies like HP or the mattress companies or Dyson make deals that guarantee a certain number of airings. 

 

Many of these products are treated like info-mercials. If you notice that some TSV's will offer advance sales when sold out and the presentations continue while others just end when the host says "we don't have enought for another presentation."

Every time I click over they either have the computer on or that thing that charges cars!  Good grief!  How many of them have they sold?  Somebody please, please buy them out so they'll move on!

That way we can get to see Clark shoes and Dyson (and let's not forget the pillows and the happy face sponge guy).

Incidentally, my daughter (the clean freak) said, "Mom, if you send me another one of those happy face sponges, I swear I'm packing them up and mailing them BACK to YOU!  Enough already!

The other daughter has said she wants no more sheets or blankets or humidifiers and on and on.

Then the third (I only have 3 kids) said she appreciates the Dyson stick vacuum, but no more stuff!

 

Ha! Ha!  I've saved so much money this weekend, I love it!  I've watched TV shows I've been avoiding!  Catching up on my DVR stuff and so on......thank you QVC.

Not only do they beat dead horses, it seems that there is a lot of the same stuff from last Christmas.

 

And where are the Black Friday "Deals"? Their prices are the same as always.

 

Yes, I can change the channel but I'm a frequent Q shopper, and look to it for gifts. Not happening this year...my family either has received what's on or it doesn't apply. How many $600 cameras, laptops or vacuums can a person buy, lol?

The TSV presentations are particularly brutal on the weekends.

 

Computers, mattresses, Vitamix, and Dyson, LOL. Big ticket items and they need to reel in channel surfers.

 

Thank goodness for Netflix! Smiley Happy

It is bad every year from September until about December 20. This year has been the WORST!
