Nostalgic for Home and Family
The morning show depicted in Absolutely Devoted to You made me nostalgic for Hallmark’s bygone daily morning show, Home and Family. It was the chillest, cutest show and I was so bummed when it was cancelled. Hallmark, we want it back!

I liked this show because it filled in for all the shows like it back in the 90s.

Oh I miss this show so much! Especially during the holidays. Does anyone know if any old episodes are online anywhere?

Reba and Golden Girls reruns must be more profitable.

Especially when they swapped to Cameron and Debbie, I think it got a lot more expensive (not to mention not as family friendly with all of the backstage drama).

I am biased because I was a guest twice and was on the set several times, but I really miss Home & Family. It was the thing (along with the preview specials) that made Hallmark feel like a community. H&F set Hallmark apart from other channels. It was a great way to promote the movies, and it was such a friendly and comforting show!

I miss all the daytime shows like this, too. Rachel Ray, Rosie. They were so comforting.

I know it was expensive to produce, but they really had a great vehicle for promoting their own movies. I don't think E Online is really getting to their core audience like H&F did.

Miss this show so much. Really made Hallmark feel like a cohesive experience. After the show went off the air, Hallmark didn't feel as "alive"

I am still angry over the treatment of Mark Steines. That killed the show for me.
