The Home and Family Show (also known as Home and Family) is an American talk and home information show originally hosted by Christina Ferrare and Chuck Woolery. Woolery was replaced by Michael Burger after a few months. The show premiered on April 1, 1996, on The Family Channel and ran until August 14, 1998, featuring numerous regulars who added information on various topics. Among the regulars were Jamie Wynn (chef); Candace Garvey (lifestyles); Mayita Dinos (gardening); Bob Golic (sewing, among other things); and The Carey Brothers (carpentry and home repairs). The show was unique in that the daily guest star was asked to remain for the entire two hours. This gave a much broader view of the personality and interests of the stars. Several of the crew also managed to gain some minor fame.
The series revived on October 1, 2012 on the Hallmark Channel. It was originally co-hosted by Paige Davis, who left after six weeks on November 16, 2012 with her final episode being taped the day before, and was replaced by original co-host Christina Ferrare.[1][2] Former Entertainment Tonight personality Mark Steines is the other current co-host. Season two premiered on September 30, 2013.
On April 30, 2014, Home and Family was renewed for a third season, which premiered on September 15. Renewal for a fourth season was announced on April 14, 2015, along with notice that the show would air new episodes weekly throughout the entire year.
The series is produced by Woody Fraser Productions and airs Mondays through Fridays at 10:00 am Eastern/9:00 am Central.
