age of possibility all the time

I am so tired of hearing the hosts constantly saying in the age of possibility, the whole thing is just stupid and takes away from just trying to listen to the presentations without all the antics- this campagin needs to stop- there is no such thing as the age of possibility, you make your own possibility- I know I can change the channel but just trying to shop or see items

I like it.  You can always check items recently on air to see what you've missed.

For this very reason, and for the general insipidity of the hosts' dialogue, I very rarely "listen" to any of the shows.  Just keep the video on with the sound muted  or check "items on air" from time to time.  The "presentations" are often light on important details anyway these days, as entertainment is apparently now more important than information.

Exactly.  This is the reason I check the website when I am shopping for something rather than endure the shows.

If "the Age of Possibility" is so great, why are they including those hosts who are under 50?   They are not "possible" yet!   Defeats the purpose and makes it all absurd and phony.

It is all so hokey to me. I'm wondering if it's been a success or not. I never watch the actual show on Fridays, but all the hosts having to push the whole "oh is FABulous to be over 50!!! Just getting better and better and better" schtick...I just eyeroll. It's fine...I don't mind the sentiment of feeling good and living life, the best you can be at any age...it's all the contrived enthusiasm for it to sell the same D&C, Barefoot Dreams, Vionic stuff...is just another marketing campaign.

 

Like I said, to me...it just sounds so over the top enthusiastic hokey. But, whatever. 🤷‍♀️ Yes, if "some like it", as usual, something for everyone.

I don't mind it, can make some of the shows pretty entertaining sometimes.

I have to agree...it's a bit overload! 

 

Once in a while is fine but the constant reminder that I'm no longer 50 or even close to it is a bit annoying.

Re: age of possibility all the time

A two-year promotion program is way too long. A month would have been fine. They've made it too long and it's irritating and annoying customers. .

More importantly, all they've added is some new people who act outrageously, and there is no great, brand new products.

I like they've brought in Jeanne Garth and Stacy what's her name. They've added products. And are worth watching. 

I think their over-50 is a failure. It's unrealistic and is not helpful in any way. Second careers have been here a long time. Mally & Shawn are just awful faces for the campaign. Over 50 can be a time for many things, but not the craziness they express!

I think what the Q has done has made their hosts and vendors less attractive. They've pushed and prodded them into there is no more individualism.
