All I have to say is I totally agree with all of you.Tucka.

KMS, I wrote to: Mike George, President & CEO, QVC, Inc., 1200 Wilson Drive, West Chester, PA. 19380. I strongly suggest that everyone who is disgusted with the Q's abysmal programming write to him. Maybe if Mr. George is personally flooded with complaints, we might see some improvements.

It seems unfortunate that the corporate focus seems to be on expansion into international markets and not remotely on what's happening (or not happening) here... Brings to mind the old adage about Nero fiddling while Rome burns...?

I have reduced viewing and shopping with the Q. It is outdated for the most part and most definitely overpriced compared to other channels and outlets. Last nite on HSN they were already putting winter accessories to clearance. I am also beyond understanding the coolness from Jill Bauer who never has had a kind word for LR. Jane Brown too. Very poor taste. I'm tired of QVC and saving a fortune in the process. 22tulips

I never see Jane and try very hard always to minimize those occasions when I see Jill... I'm not sure I'd even notice if she left, though as bad as QVC has become, her doing so would be an improvement... however slight. She exudes all the warmth of an ice bucket...

I save a ton of money this time of year. Surely SOMEONE in charge has to know how horribly repetitive and boring these shows are, day after day for 2 months. I feel like if I had that job, and turned out this kind of work, I'd be fired.

Dell,Keruig,vacuum cleaners ET etc boring boring boring. I swear Dell has a TSV at least once a month or more

That would take too much effort on their part. The way they have it set up as you describe it practically runs itself!

No PM Style with Lisa Robertson, which I would tune in to, not because of the products but to have a few laughs watching Lisa and her PMS crew ... and now ... PLEASE tell me it isn't so, another show with Jane Treacy with HER CAT !! Please someone !! Shoot me now !!! END THIS MISERY ... can't believe she is ON AGAIN TONIGHT with the cat no less !!!!! You've got to be kidding me!!

Oh darn it!!!!! I missed it.....I would have muted the sound and actually tuned in for a few seconds to see her cat..... It seems that QVC is at the bottom of the barrel even using animals (which are always a viewer favorite) to attract customers....SHAMEFUL!

Q try some variety!!!!

"all the warmth of an ice bucket"......... I concur with your assessment, "the marm" why she could play the lead in FROZEN..... And when she is in her "teacher mode" I feel like a scolded child in a classroom .....I am not going to speculate on what she felt towards Lisa....that I have no idea.....

As for Jayne Brown....that woman sports a 'TUDE.....as having an ATTITUDE....I've seen her being rude to co-hosts and vendors alike......but to give her credit when she is by herself she can be quite a good host at times....

And let's throw JRT in the mix...."ITS ALL ABOUT ME"......although you have to give her a little bit of slack---she knows her gems, and she does like cats----

YIKES---there are only a couple of hosts that I think are even watchable....!!!! Of course, why watch when this Shopping Channel has become downright DREADFUL!

But I'm waiting for one of the former hosts to write a book and REALLY REALLY tell us the inside scoop of QVC.....although I wonder if they make them sign some sort of a requirement to refrain them from doing so. I know Lisa Mason wrote a book, but from what I hear it was more what her job was like as a news reporter and QVC rather than the real behind the scene stuff.....And I do miss Lisa Mason .....

Just checked ShopHQ's schedule and today it's offering 5 or 6 consecutive hours of Invicta, whatever that is. Boring.
