The Home Show is an Australian television series which aired on Sydney station TCN-9 for about a year, from 1 November 1956 to 12 November 1957. Originally aired on Thursdays, it later moved to Tuesdays. It was replaced with Tuesday at One. The series (along with its replacement) was aimed at the housewives.

Prior to the debut of the series, it had been announced as far back as September.[1]

Broadcast live, the hour-long series was hosted by Judy Ann James, who was also a producer on the series.[2] An edition of the magazine Australian Women's Weekly from late July 1957 featured an article discussing the hosts of the three main women's programmes on Sydney television, Home Show, Your Home on (with Del Cartwright) on ATN-7 and Women's World (with Mary Rossi) on ABN-2. The magazine referred to James as the youngest of the three hosts, and described her as being married to a director at TCN.[3]

Reception

Australian Women's Weekly called it a "pleasant little show" and said that "Miss James gives the show a pleasant and unassuming air"[4]
