Home & Family (formerly The Home and Family Show) is an American daytime talk show. The series originally premiered on April 1, 1996, on The Family Channel, and was dropped by the network immediately prior to its 1998 relaunch as the Fox Family Channel. In 2012, Hallmark Channel picked up a revival of the series, airing as a two-hour program on weekday mornings.
The show premiered on April 1, 1996, on The Family Channel and ran until August 14, 1998. It was hosted by Cristina Ferrare and Chuck Woolery, and featured numerous recurring and regular personalities known as "the family" who share tips on beauty, crafts, cooking, and the like. Originally among the family were Jamie Gwen (chef), Candace Garvey (lifestyles), Mayita Dinos (gardening), Bob Golic, and the Carey brothers (carpentry and home repairs).
In December 1996, Woolery was fired due to complaints about the show being two hours and was replaced by Family Challenge host Michael Burger.
Home & Family was revived in 2012 on the Hallmark Channel, unique with the daily guest star being asked to remain for the entire episode, providing a broader view of the star's personality and interests. Crew members are often seen, as well.
The revived show's ninth season became its last, following cancellation by Hallmark Channel in March 2021. The final episode aired on August 4, 2021, with hosts Debbie Matenopoulos and Cameron Mathison.
