Home & Family

Cristina was brought back to the H&F because the because the new host and Mark Stein this just send it not working well. Woody Fraser the creator of the show originally had Cristina Ferrerain the late 90s as co-host ! The show was a hit! when he started the program again is just wasn't succeeding so he begged Cristina to come back and she did. The show is ratings came up immediately and she's been on the show for four years building such a wonderful devoted fan base! Most of the viewers where middle aged her over and watched every day for two hours! They love the show because of Cristina because she brought much love and joy and heart to the show

and watched every day for two hours! They love the show because of Cristina she brought much love and joy and heart to the show! All of a sudden Cristina I was no longer on the show! They said she was on vacation and it continued for about three weeks! One morning they said Debbie Minneapolis will be the host with Mark Stienes! The devoted viewers did not know until recently the real reason Cristina is no longer there! She was let go because she was too OLD! She is such a classy, gracious, and loving woman who gave her heart to the show! The show no longer has the heart! So many devoted viewers are posting are no longer watching the show they are boycotting it not buying a hallmark products, etc. You may go to Maria Shriver Facebook live,, LA talk radio, and to Cristina Ferrera and see all the posts! I needed to post because this is such a devastating action on the part of Hallmark Channel and HomeAndFamily show, this is such a devastating action on the part of Hallmark Channel and HomeAndFamily cell when views post and comment about Cristina and why she was fired the posts are being detected or the fans are blocked from all social media that H&F is with!!!!!!

I understand Paige Davis had her issues, but methinks they "fixed" the wrong problem. Mark Steines is one of the worst hosts I think I've ever seen. He makes Bethanny look like Oprah. Between his false modesty, his cutting, underhanded remarks, and his fragile ego that Christina constantly works to salvage, I find myself sore from cringing. One morning, a crew member (I think her name was Lisa) was climbing a hill near the set for exercise. She commented how she'd never have to wear Spanx again after this workout, and Steines says "this ISN'T Magic Mountain". What a jerk!! Earlier that morning, Mark was showing how one could make a shelf out of an old book. He said "take a book you don't like or aren't interested in anymore" and he used Lisa's book she had written as his example! At that point I had to turn it off. I couldn't watch anymore, and haven't watched since. If that's his idea of humor, I'm not interested.

I never watch daytime talk shows, but I came across Home & Family over the holidays and now I'll tune in ever so often. The thing that sets it apart from other talk shows, at least for me, is that it's not sensationalized or full of razzle dazzle. It just seems real and unvarnished, more like talk shows were in my youth.

I'm not familiar with any of the hosts, but they're all great in what they do. And I like that none of them are big celebrity blowhards.

Before writing this comment, I read through the reviews and discovered something interesting. Most of the poor reviews seem to be from fans of the show who were disgruntled for some reason or another. I don't know if their reasons are legit, or not, but I think it's relevant that these poor reviews were written by obvious fans of the show, which makes me think the show's rating has been artificially lowered.

Anyhow, I don't watch much TV, but I like this show and I hope Hallmark will continue making it for years to come.

I just want to say that this show has become just one big event of advertisements. The hosts are plugging products left and right. I guess pushing the products will pay the bills.

I enjoy the DIY projects - Orly, Ken, Maria... you don't have to actually tell us about a tool you are using.. We can see for ourselves when you use them and I am sure that has increased the sales of dewalt, ryobi, glue guns galore. Whatever we see the cast use... It assures us that it is a good product to buy. You do not need to spend time doing ads for any of the items you use.. so please stop. I did enjoy when Ken evaluated some tools... that was useful.

Please keep showing us how to make our own cleaning products and health products to be more environmentally safe and safe for us. Kym Douglas seems so genuine. She is on a real path of wellness. Her sharing her home-made products is perfect.

And again H&F is over advertising the Hallmark Movies. Please stop. We are all aware of the movies and we are fans - we don't need to hear about them again you can offer other segments with those advertisements for the movies..

When did all the crafts become something a 5 year old could do? On today's show, Orly showed putting tassels on tennis shoes...couple of weeks ago, it was earrings made from strips of ribbon. And everything has to use a glue gun. Ken is the only one that shows anything using a sewing machine...and then when he does, the hosts dumbs it down by asking if you could use a glue gun instead. I'm sure most viewers are smart and capable of using a sewing machine. And the clay crafts...omg...so cheesy. This show needs to step up it's game. I sure hope no one is making this stuff and displaying it in their homes!
