I used to watch the Q all the time back in the early 2000s. We lived in an apartment and had free cable included in our rent. But in 2004 we bought a house, and so we no longer had cable. I went to the Q website less and less as time went on.

But last weekend, I discovered that I can watch on regular, free, broadcast television with our digital bunny ears. I had no idea over this was a thing! I hadn't watched in twelve years. Wow. Crazy.

So much had changed, it seems. So many hosts I knew are gone... So many new hosts I don't know. I have seen some reps I know (like Dennis Basso and Valerie Parr Hill), and have seen a lot of new faces. People have retired, some have passed away, some I have no idea what happened to them.

And this forum is neat! I look forward to chatting with y'all.

I used to watch all the time. Now I tune in sometimes. I don't know the hosts and guests at all.  Very few are left.

I'll say its changed. I remember when it first came on , my friends and I all made fun of shopping channels . However, a shopper is a shopper and before long we were watching, even though the products were a bit lame.

Watch it for about a week.  You'll soon feel at home.  All the products are so repetitive.  Some of the same hosts are still there too.

Thanks for the welcome, y'all!

I was in my 20s and a career gal when I watched before, and now I am in my late 30s with two kids (9 years and 6 months) and just became a SAHM a year and a half ago. My daughter likes to watch the Q with me - It's adorable.
