A Clean & Wholesome family show
rjsmd16 June 2006
I too loved watching this show on a daily basis & watched it from the beginning under the direction of Woody Frazer when Christina & Chuck were hosting & although it was entertaining it really hit it's stride when Micheal Burger came on board to replace Chuck. Every day was something different but you could count on it being clean & wholesome viewing & I loved that about the show. They showed that you could have a very entertaining show for 2 hours each day & the day that they announced that because ABC had purchased what was then just the FAMILY CHANNEL & they would no longer be on was a very sad day for me & my wife. Hopefully one day some cable station will once again air a show like this because we need more clean & wholesome family shows. Also just to mention what was already said let's not forget the charming young cook Jamie as she was a huge part of the show also & she can be seen on one of the shopping channels cooking & selling her cookbooks. I miss you Home & Family! can't believe that 10 yrs have passed since you graced our air.

2 hour visit with my 2nd family
fangfan-129 July 2007
This show ran 2 hours every weekday afternoon. I agree with the previous poster. It was a wonderful show and was a huge loss when it was canceled. I think it ran 2 1/2 years,ending in Aug of 1998. I felt I had another family in this show and became deeply involved with everyone. I cried when they left the air. I too loved Mike Burger even more than Chuck Woolery. I laughed myself silly every day! Remember the "peanut butter kiss" he gave Cristina? What a hoot! You just never knew what he would do next! By the way, Kim was Kim Douglas. She is married to an actor on Young and the Restless. Home and Family was one of the best shows to ever play day time TV. The network really messed up in canceling this one.Wish we could see a "best of" on DVD set!

I miss this great show!!!
JenCon30 October 2000
I used to watch Home and Family when it came on at noon and loved every minute of it. Michael Burger was hilarious (and to me much better than Chuck Woolery) and I would alway's have tear's of laughter when he would go into his schtick. Cristina Ferarre was also fun to watch when she would react to Michael Burger's or as Cristina used to call him "Mikey's," hijink's! Cristina would also do cooking segment's, Candice Garvey would do craft segment's and sometimes with Bob Golic (a huge ex-pro football player) who would let everyone see his softer side. Then later in the program Kim (can't remember her last name) would do the movie review's and celeb gossip. What I loved the best about this show is that we got to live an hour with the families of this great cast. Cristina would bring her two daughter's to the set with her, Candace had her children with her, and we got to witness Kim give birth to her first child Hunter. We also went through Kim's fear's with her as she went and had mamogram and had a cancer scare when they found an abnormal lump in her breast. I can still remember her face as she told Mike and Cristina about her possibly having breast cancer and then breaking down into tear's. Luckily there was no cancer found. Yes I miss this show and hope one day some other station will bring the family back!

i loved the show also my son would take a nap between the the 2 hrs. I also enjoyed twin brothers who where the handymen i learned so much from them. I loved Michael so much better than Chuck he was hilarious. They never held back anything. I miss shows like this, if it was on now we could have live chat rooms and send them questions to answer on air. I would love to know what everyone is doing now. They should do some kind of reunion show just to catch up with everyone and see what has happened in their lives in the past ten years. Kim does the Ellen Degeneres show a lot. I also would love to see everyones kids i am sure a lot of them are married and have kids of there own.

I didn't discover this show until it was already off the air!

I actually never saw this show when it was on the air, but after seeing Michael Burger on Match Game 98/99, and enjoying him so much, I tracked down some tapes of the Home & Family Show. What a great show! Mike and Cristina made a perfect team. I'm so sorry this show is no longer on the air. It had such a fun, relaxed, friendly feel to it. It was, in turn, interesting, informative, poignant, and hysterically funny. I miss seeing Michael Burger on TV on a regular basis. I guess we'll have to muddle through without him until some TV exec comes to his senses and gives Mikey another show. Hopefully something like Home & Family!

I miss this show!!!

What a great show this was. I NEVER missed an episode. If I wasn't home, I would tape it. They were like a family to me. I felt as if I knew them. I would love to see a similar show with the same cast. I had an apartment and no children when the show was on the air. Now I have my own home and family and I could use a refresher of all the tips they would share on the show. MY FAVORITE SHOW OF ALL TIME!!!!

I miss this show and everyone who was on it. i hate that television doesn't currently offer a replacement. anytime i have the opportunity, i check to see what everyone who was on the show is now up to. hopefully sometime soon the networks will realize we need more how to shows that aren't so boring and mundane.

Home & family & Chuck Woolery
mike_olbrych8220 May 2005
I loved this show when Chuck Woolery was on he is just so cool and he got to show just how cool he could be working next to Christina. Chirtina was so hyper and he was most of the time laid back that I think it did work well to have opposite's at time's . but I like many other people I know stopped watching it once Chuck had his open heart surgery. Michael burger should have kept to game show's and I do hope Chirstina has found away to relax a little. I must say I also liked Candice Garvey and Steve occasionally. What can I say it was great fun and if Chuck had stayed we might still be seeing it today. The type of show might still do well it was a step ahead of reality TV as far as being live and Chuck being as real at time's as any one could be and some of the maul function's of the home and family sound's like a good idea hey!
