Re: Seeking QVC Viewer Historians

steeleranne - I remember Chaz Dean, Joan RIvers and Issac Mizrahii being on a lot, but

not as much as Kim Gravel. 

 

Kim Gravel has SO many lines: fashion, beauty, jewelry, home line - this morning she was on QVC selling her bed linens. 

 

She must be pulling in the money for QVC, otherwise they wouldn't schedule her so much.......

Susan Graver was on all the time but I think Kim has more shows now.

Re: Seeking QVC Viewer Historians

Been watching since the late 1980's.  No, there has never been another vendor selling so many different product lines and on air as much as Kim.  I assume there has also never been a vendor as successful for the Q as Kim. 

 

Joan Rivers did have three distinct product lines - jewelry, fashion and home decor (with one hair product that I can think of) - but she was never scheduled as much as is Kim. In the 1990's there was much more variety than there is now. Currently the mantra seems to be, stick with what worked yesterday and don't take too many risks. Kim seems to be a very safe bet for them.

Thank you for this insightful information. I was not around when the Q started, and I love learning.

Back in the day Q had a lot of shows that would air for long periods like 4 hours at a time and would be on monthly, like 18K Gold with Pat Dimentri, Silver Style on Sun mornings with Jane T, 14k gold with Mary Beth Roe, Diamonique with Kathy L, and so on. Back then they had a lot more time spent on jewelry

I wish they'd feature more jewelry than they do now.

@Shelbelle Do an AI chat or google and many of their products years ago contained talc. Complete Confirmation of what I posted is indeed truthful. In fact Dr. Oz did a tutorial on it back in the day that the amount of talc in it was not harmful. Of course years later, the industry is scrambling to remove talc.
