Q Talk

[SHIRAZ]

Hey Spurt, your photos look really great in this new format (and that's the most positive thing I've had to say about it all week!)

I will be watching the Q on Sunday - just wave jewelry in front of me and it's "Must See TV!"  Looking forward to Antonella in the Italian broadcasts.

(So glad your typo didn't get you poofed - gave me a good laugh.)

This is as funny as ever, and the only time I have smiled or laughed ever since this horrid format came into existence.

I must vote for the Dad on Father Knows Best. I love them all, but I always loved him so much and he called his little daughter "Kitten", and I loved that !!! He kind of looked like my father as well so my vote goes to him !

I'm going to watch Antonella and give her all of my support. I know she is very excited to do these shows and I know for sure her heart is totally in it. She is very sincere and happy to have this job, knows the country, the language, the product. Much of what I might not be able to say about Lisa !

Antonella needs our support and she has mine.

I am totally miserable about this new format. it's not as fun or friendly as the old one.

Could someone please tell me why our wording has to be improved from the previous format?

Don't know if I will stay here or not at this point. I may not be able to adjust.

@circles  Hi circles glad you found us!!! And glad you enjoyed the post. 

I do like Antonella and you can tell she really loves jewelry.... ...... it will be interesting to see what changes they make to the show without LR.  And I hope they show more of the host and vendors and less of the buyer.

Have a GREAT weekend!

I might see how the gold show is different with Antonella

Good morning, Spurt-- So happy to see you back here where you belong, restoring a sense of normalcy to the ensuing chaos... How ironic that iPads are being prominently featured this weekend, when we iPad users seem to be the ones who are having the most hassle with the new, "improved" format... I will be watching the jewelry shows from Italy, as that's the closest I'll ever get to visiting that country, lol... Have a great Father's Day weekend!

@handygal2   Hi HANDYGAL----Thank you for your kind words. 

I too thought that it was positively HILARIOUS that QVC would chose this weekend to bring out the Ipad as the TSV when Ipad users seem to have the most problems with the new format...TALK ABOUT YOUR BAD TIMING......ROFL!!!!  But remember HANDYGAL, according to the Mods, all these improvements were FOR the Ipads and mobile users.... OMG!!!! .

I will probably tune in for a little bit to one of the live jewelry show from Italy---that is one country I would love to visit and that dream will probably have to wait until sometime when I retire (if ever) lol.....

@redhead65  Hi REDHEAD---After the dramatic changes in Q's format I thought we could all use a smile....SHEESH!!! Who was the designer of this mess!!! ....ARRRGGHHH!!!!  I am not a bit happy....

As for Fathers Knows Best, I used to think that the show was a bit stiff and preachy---the perfect and unrealistic perfect family with many senitmental episodes compared to some of the other family sitcoms back in the day, BUT I recently discovered a channel called ANTENNA TV (you can go to their website to see if your local or cable or satellite carries it).....and on the days I work from home I've tuned in (its on early in the morning)....and what I discovered is that the Fathers Knows Best episodes were VERY FUNNY and the kids weren't so perfect after all.....LOL!!!! The only thing that drives me a bit crazy is that Jim needs to take off that suit jacket and tie when he gets home from work and sits down and reads the paper...HEY JIM RELAX!!!!    So REDHEAD, Jim Anderson is a good choice !!!!

Antonella is one of the few GENUINE hosts and I think it's because her background is the medical field instead of the TV or show biz field.....maybe QVC needs to hire more REAL PEOPLE than those with a previous career in broadcasting!!! I heard long ago (before I started watching QVC) she had an Italiian cooking show and I think Q should bring that back.....And you can tell she really really loves jewelry and knows the culture and language so I'm glad she got the gig!!!

As for the new wording and walking on eggshells (i.e. the new Standards)---that was just something that QVC appeared to throw in with the format changes----so what was the purpose of all those surveys and threads asking us for Format feedback anyway????????????   It seems a couple of folks have contacted Corporate and made their opinions known and QVC caved in and disregarded the feelings of the majority of the Community!!!  Oh it may force everyone to write only "happy talk"" about hosts and vendors, but I think the Moderators are in for a shock because I don't think it will stop the backbiting and especially mean spirited and snarky comments amongst the posters ......JMHO....stay tuned!!!

@SHIRAZ---Hi SHIRAZ----

Glad you liked the photos---I guess I don' proof read very well... and I hope I DID correct the typo---at least from my end when I view it I did....LOL!!! Does that mean there is no more "censored" words now.....perhaps something the designers forgot....  Perhaps there is a subliminal message there....

Have a good weekend!!!
