Home & Family

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.

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 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.

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 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.
