Home & Family

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!

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.

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.

Home & Family on the Hallmark Channel is a very nice show featuring a wide range of topics from crafting, to entertainment to health.

Sometimes a show featuring so many topics can be a mess. Somehow this show touches lightly on subjects and still remaining entertaining. Perhaps it could be a bit more informative about the important topics it touches on but that might be too heavy for the morning time slot that they reside in.

Being "light" keeps it moving along at a nice pace. Guests are usually "B listers" but that is definitely OK. Most "A listers" come off as self-important jerks. I just watched the Home & Family Christmas special that debuted last night (11/23) and so many people broke into tears talking about the families and keeping it real on so many levels - nicely done.

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.
