Oh for Pete's sake.  Darned if they do, darned if they don't. They probably got a lot of money for that ad, infomercial or whatever , so you could watch your fashion day. There are 800,000 plus other viewers out there watching,  I never understand why so many posters fet their knickers in a twist over a program, or host.  Do you all feel its your own personal taste that QVC should run their company by?   And as far as the posters who didn't like it, I m sure it was more political than anything. I don't watch period. QVC has plenty online to buy.  Geesh

Since they often have ITKWD on during "Fashion Events" I wasn't overly surprised at the show.

 

But what did bother me was the vendor's sidekick.  I can understand her being on air when Kevin Hart couldn't make his designated showtime.  But when he did arrive, she was over the top.  I honestly thought she might starting bouncing off the walls at any moment.  She was interrupting him!

Love him or hate him, Kevin Hart is the vendor.  Why does she even need to be on air when he is there?  Alberti is perfectly able to explain the product and get the vendor to talk about his own product without her talking over everyone at Mach speed. 

I was mildly interested in the product, but her actions turned me off completely.  And I rarely complain about hosts or brand representatives.

Seems like the OP does nothing but watch QVC and be on these boards. If I didn't have a life and watched QVC constantly I'm sure I would find things I didn't particularly care for. Thankfully, shopping all day for things I don't need and complaining about everything isn't how I choose to live.

Re: News Flash for QVC

[ Edited ]

For all we know,  the profit margins for QVC on Mr. Hart's offerings may be higher than those of many often aired fashion brands.  Every brand undergoes internal profit analysis,  and that likely drives a number of programming decisions,  particularly given the company's current situation. 

 

Much ado drama about basic nothingness, in my opinion. 

 

You have all day Sunday to watch and purchase fashion.  And Monday programming won't be much different. 

 

Mr. Hart's paltry few hours may have been a great benefit to some, allowing them to take brief breaks from nonstop, hardcore fashion viewing to take a relief respite.

For me, the issue was more about QVC having become almost relentlessly unwatchable than it was about superimposing a non-fashion product into the lineup. Too long presentations of a single (boring) product featuring annoying, inauthentic, gasping, long-winded, plastic phonies is a huge pass for me and hence I rarely tune in anymore. For me, QVC TV is and has been missing on all cylinders for quite some time and is not getting any better.

@Trinity11  that particular take wasn't

 what I meant about Kevin. It was a couple other remarks made. I lumled  them up in a ball, and just figured posters could sort out themselves. I wouldn't buy that stuff, but to each their own if I want a protien mix I go for ORGAIN , something organic and more natural. Then swig it down with a monster or pot of coffee ( if I wanted a jolt)  Lol Just me 

ETA  maybe they needed a big break to get all the fashions lined up back stage and breaks for models and changes of shifts.

For your information, Vita Hustle
