It seems that QVC has been presenting the same items over and over , day after day, week after week...... I usually leave the shows on while I do my chores around the house.... I find myself saying..." Is this item on again?" Even though the title of the show changes during the day, the items presented are repeated from earlier shows.... Wish the execs would return to regularly scheduled shows with a variety of items from show to show and day to day...

Most shoppers do not have the luxury to watch QVC for hours on end. because people tune in sporadically throughout the day and week, QVC will repeat products.

Despite what numerous posters here seem to believe, QVC is in business to make money. It does not exist to entertain us or alleviate our boredom.

KYToby - - there you go again with your smug, condescending responses! Why do you feel the need to be like this?

And talk about repetitive... He might as well start to cut and paste his comments, if he isn't already... And amazing, isn't it, not only an expert on home shopping business practices, but on the viewing habits of, well, everyone...

I agree with you completely OP, and when it reaches the point where EVEN those who DO tune in just sporadically are likely to see the same array of merchandise virtually whenever they tune in, then the shark has been jumped and they've become way too redundant... Incidentally, I'd note that by virtue of their presence on television, entertainment is definitely supposed to be part of the equation... I believe even management has so indicated in written comments some have posted on these boards...

Personally, I tune in very rarely these days and when I do, usually tune out quickly. Because they ARE showing the same brands and items repeatedly and because I have no interest in the vast majority of them, why would I watch? I'm afraid QVC is a lost cause. I'll probably continue shopping here from time to time, but overall, they've lost me... Particularly after this rotten holiday shopping season, they don't deserve to be a go-to shopping resource.

I totally agree w/you stevieb. And if it weren't for these entertaining, informative threads, I'd probably never know what the Q was selling. So many repeats, think I could even sell the items. And KYToby, how do you know how much I watch TV?

I did not think the remarks were smug nor condescending. The last sentence is a little harsh but true.

Don't worry, be Happy!

You are kidding, right? They try endlessly to provide entertainment. You must not watch QVC at all.

You know what, you are right. Tuesday night beauty with the ditz is a comedy show in itself.

Well, judging by the items presented, my guess is, they cannot attract anymore vendors, so perhaps this is all they have to work with....
