Home & Family

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.

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.

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.

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.
