Really, HSN? Green pans again?? Really?? Why??
I'm so over these under-performing products and Ms. Mangano's in-your-face oversell.
Apologies to anyone who really likes these pans and Ms. Mangano's sales techniques, but I've completely lost patience with the frequency and pervasiveness of these shows. You've scaled down so many of your vendors to 8-10 days per year. How about easing up on the green pans and Ms. Mangano.

Because HSN owns part of Green Pans, don't they? I cannot stand to watch even ONE minute of Joy Mangano. I could watch Todd 24/7 and not get tired of HIM!

Yippy, Green Pans today and Yesterday Guitars!!!  Well, HSN you lost me for another weekend. How boring can your programming be? Even watching water boil is more exciting!

I watched the presentation with Shannon, Joy, and Todd. I thought I was watching SNL....Shannon is mesmerized with the shiny bottom of the fry pan, kept displaying the bottom of it while she continued to talk and talk and talk. Todd kept trying to get a word in edgewise, but she just wouldn't budge and kept on yakking. In the meantime the camera would focus in on Joy, who would lift the stock pot and the camera would zoom in showing her carressing the sides and bottom of the pot. Then she'd pick up the fry pan and do the same thing. It was hilarious. You could hear Shannon gabbing fast and furious, Todd trying to get in a word or two, and there was Joy holding this pot and running her hands over it like it was human.

Welcome to the Joy Mangano shopping channel. Does this woman ever keep quiet? I caught a little of the program at the midnight hour and she actually looked like she was pouting because Shannon was doing all the talking.
She looks terrible with the blond hair. I never liked her on the Q and even less since she switched to HSN. It's always about her. Next, I'll tell you what I really think. LOL

Memorial Day weekend it's a Joy TS on Sunday, which means all day of Joy then, more cheeky sandals and bison burgers with Tony Little on Monday. Didn't we just get enough of him and his pillows??? HSN PLEASE STOP THE MADNESS!!

It is 10:32 AM CST and they are on with the TS. There are 5 people behind the counter and when Joy started slinging her arms in front of Todd he actually walked away. Maybe he was stepping away to get something but it looked to me like he was very aggravated. At first Joy was actually giving Todd a few minutes to speak but you could tell from the expression on her face and the movement of her lips that she was chomping at the bit to start her spiel.

Todd actually had a show yesterday afternoon without Joy and it was a pleasure to - watch and listen to him. Stayed up to see the TSV and lo and behold JOY shows up -
switched the channel.
Cannot stand her for one minute - don't know if she is just "in your face" or she is just on too much.
Peace!

When the cameras do a close up of Joy's hands I want to "GAG" with those big long fingernails & rings on most of her fingers...

These pans are not non-stick. They stick worse then old fashioned cast iron & if you want a pan that's not non-stick, then stick to cast iron or stainless steel with no coating. You can't make a sunny side egg in the frying pan without putting 1/4 inch of oil. They don't wash up easily either. I have the black set & not only are the insides hard to clean the outside is all scratched up & I'm not rough on pans. I've had an old inexpensive Revere stainless steel set for 15 years that shines like the day it was new. My recommendation is stay far away from these pans. Buy a nice set of 18-10 stainless steel pots, one large stainless steel fry pan, 2 cast iron pans for chicken & such & one small GOOD non-stock for eggs & pancakes. That's all you need. Nobody needs these pans unless you find them at the dollar store where it's ok to use a pan for a month then throw it out.
The trouble with reality is; there's no background music.

I do not own any GreenPans. Todd cannot outdo his former anodized line IMO. I love them, BUT I enjoy watching him  so as I settled in for the TS last night the title blaring in my face of the "Todd and Joy Show w/Shannon" caused me to tune into the Sci-Fi channel as my choice of horror. Those two women are worse than any fingernails on chalkboard. I want to hear Todd talk. I want to see what he is cooking. I cannot do that with the sound on mute. PLEASE HSN....let him have his own cooking shows. Shannon would even be tolerable by herself, but pairing her with Joy is unwatchable. And, I agree about the guitars and the bison burger/cheeks, etc. Give it a rest..

I bought the green pans and they stick worse than any other pan I have ever had. First one or two times were ok, but now I am throwing them out. I also don't watch HSN that much any more. All the same annoying people all the time. Guitars, wow. Joy, double wow. Tony, triple wow.

I would probably buy a green pan, if not for Joy.
HSN, PLEASE have a green pan show without Joy, so that Chef Todd can actually talk and demonstrate the cookware.
Joy (God bless her heart !)interrupts everyone with her endless, mindless chatter.

I am embarrassed for Todd. It's like he's the second act of his own show. Imagine - someone as knowledgeable and awarded as Todd English and he, in effect, has to ask permission to even speak!
Mangano is obnoxious. She probably loves the spotlight, but it does not love her.

I have to agree. I feel so sorry for Todd having to share his time with Joy. There is just no reason that Joy should be there during his shows. He doesn't need her to explain products that mesh with his expertise. Whether she brought him to hsn or not, shouldn't matter. She has no true reason to insert herself into his time. And...I have to say adding Shannon into the mix made it another level of h*ll. Shannon and Joy together are, as someone else said, like fingernails on a blackboard.
