Home & Family

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.

First Cristina, then both Matts and now Mark Steines. Haven't you figured out that it was none of these people pulling the show ratings down? Bring these people back and get rid of Debbie. Woody, if you have anything to do with the casting now, you should realize that Cristina and Mark were good together. Also, there's nothing wrong with a weekly segment on pet adoption, but every day is too much for a home and family show. Please continue the great DIYs and crafts and remember that you do not have to tell the audience what you are going to do, then do it and lastly tell us what you did; it's a waste of time. We, the audience, are not elementary school students that much have everything repeated in order to remember it. This is just my opinion; I do feel like it's worth consideration. I would love to be able to rate Home and Family 10/10, but honestly cannot until changes are made.

I rarely write reviews but I just read a lot of very negative things about this show and I'm a bit confused why people would take precious time out of their day to dedicate such long and over-the-top critiques for a show that is simply just 'not your style'. But I guess Negative people always feel the need to make their opinions known, so, as a fan, I feel the need to express something positive:

I'm happy that Home&Family is continuing to run on the Hallmark channel and I wish them many years of success! I can't imagine not waking up to this show. My family and I became hooked this past Christmas. I love how it's actually something DIFFERENT than the norm. Comical, fun, and up-lifting.

I am a male in my mid 20s and I never thought I would like a show like this but here I am tuning in every morning. Maybe it's that I get tired of the "sameness"/typical formula that American television has displayed for years and Home & Family somewhat strays from those formulas. Or maybe it's just that H&F presents a warm and light-hearted, family oriented show that is great to wake up to. Cristina, Mark and their friends keep me laughing and entertained. This show truly gets me up and going every morning so I Thank Hallmark and the producers.

P.S. they just recently had Dame Edna as a guest, and it was hysterical.

*cheers* :)

I stopped watching this because I find Debbie and Cameron insufferable. They may be wonderful people for all I know, but on this show they come across as self-involved, condescending and fake. At least Mark used to balance Debbie's contrived and narcissistic personality. But now with Cameron co-hosting it's a like a challenge to see whose star shines brighter, even at the expense of their guests. I do miss the craft segments, though.

I am so disappointed in the Hallmark Channel and the show Home & Family. That was my favorite show. The host Cristina Ferrare made the show what it used to be. She is a genuine, caring, loving person. She did the best job at making the viewers actually feel like family.She was fired and she stated the reason was because they said she was old and they wanted a younger audience. The show has fell apart. The show seems so silly, fake, and forced. They seem like really bad actors. The heart of the show is gone.The reason to watch is gone. I am so disappointed how the Hallmark channel treated Cristina.There are so many angry people that were loyal fans. On the Home and Family facebook page, we try to exercise our freedom of speech and our comments are deleted and we are blocked. Needless to say, I no longer support the show in any way. I am done purchasing the Hallmark merchandise or patronizing any of the sponsors of the show. Thanks for listening.
