Home (ABC TV series)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Home, also referred to as The Home Show, was a daytime/nighttime informational talk show that aired on ABC from 1988 to 1994.

The program was hosted by Robb Weller during the first season, and Gary Collins for the remainder of its run. They had various female co-hosts, including Cristina Ferrare, Sandy Hill, Dana Fleming, Beth Ruyak and Sarah Purcell. Segments were frequently presented by Dian Thomas, Carol Duvall and Kitty Bartholomew. Marc Summers would present segments on the latest in technology (computers, home gaming, etc.).

Mother Love joined the show as the announcer in the final season.

The timeslot which Home occupied is currently filled by the popular talk show The View. Its length varied widely from 30 minutes (for most of its run) to 60 minutes, with a one-year run as a 90-minute show after Match Game was canceled in the noon time slot in 1991. The show contracted back to 60 minutes in 1992, as the network officially abandoned the noon time slot in favor of local news.
