The show premiered on April 1, 1996, on The Family Channel and ran until August 14, 1998. It was hosted by Cristina Ferrare, Michael Burger, 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).
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.
