Do any of you ever stop on one when changing stations? The music,the drama and the way the sellsperson gets sooo excited?! I think i can program my remote to skip them,just haven't yet. The knives and jewelry are the worse oh and that horrable one about cleaning out your system that comes on late at night and I've seen it on a regular station like on a Sun.afternoon (when they need a filler) the creepy man ..........maybe I have too much time on my hands :wave:
My point is why are they like between the fine living and E station and such, why don't they put them on like 700 or something.?:bang:

cp...I watch all this crap late at night when I can't sleep. I have to say though, the person that bothers me most, hands down, is that flippin' Billy Mays. Hate him. His voice is like a nail going through my head.

Why would you subject yourself to this?? Last time I stopped on one of those channels, I got myself some killer suede leather boots I'll never wear!:lolabove:

Billy Mays is the first cousin of one of my co-workers. When my friend got married in Savannah, Billy was there. Very very nice guy. In fact, he arranged for a pirate cruise for all the kids during the wedding so they would have something to do. It was his present to the couple.
The one thing I didn't ask was does he use all the products he hawks on the TV! I shoulda!
...but, yeah, you're right. That voice! "Hi! Billy Mays here with a great new product..."

Is he 'famous" for any thing else that i missed along the way?

Not loud in person at all. Didn't get a chance to talk to him a whole bunch, though. I'll have to ask Hal (my co-worker / his cousin). I don't remember seeing or hearing of him anywhere before he came on the scene with the Oxy-Clean commercials. It's has all gone uphill from there. I should do some digging and see if all the products he hawks are under one corporate umbrella...

I got our UPS guy trained...if the package is soft (clothes) or small (makeup), he brings them to me at the office so I don't have to play 20 Questions with Fuzz & Squirt (sorry dear 😀). :floor:

I can't read if I wanna stay in bed...it'll wake up Mr. DD and the cats and dog. So, I just watch infomercials. I don't buy anything, but I've learned a lot. 😱

Oh hail, I thought you were gonna say he was YOUR relative, and then I was gonna feel bad. Whew!:lol::wave:
SN,I have several friend sthat get almost daily deliveries from UPS and some from QVC. I really wasn't talking about that station its over on 333 or somethng. I never really think to go over there. My friend got some great all weather rugs from QVC last summer.As far as shopping ones, I was refering to the jewelry,knives and coins on around 230 on direct tv.

Yeah, dish has no less than 16 or 17 of those channels. Then there are the other ones, like Court TV (or Tru, or whatever it is now) and Sun Sports and others that stop their own programming after about midnight and run infomercials until 5 am or so. Some of those tend to go over the top...and I agree with everyone about Billy Mays. It's really hard to ignore him. 'Course I guess that's the point!
Then, there's the "rabbit" channel...though in my early-morning channel-fumbling I haven't run across them lately...:floor:
