Broadcast history

The timeslot which Home occupied is currently filled by the popular talk show The View. It began as a 30 minute show in 1988, when it replaced various shows. Home Show expanded to 60 minutes in January of 1989 (upon the cancellation of Ryan's Hope) from 1989–91, with a one-year run as a 90-minute show after rernus of Perfect Strangers was first replaced by Match Game and then that was canceled in the noon time slot in 1991. The show reverted back to 60 minutes in 1992, as the network officially abandoned the noon time slot in favor of giving that timeslot back to local affiliates , which in most cases ran local news(most were preempting that timeslot anyway for local newscasts). One of the show's Co-Hosts, Michael Burger took over hosting in April of 1994 and brought on Maty Monfort. The show was overhauled at that point and became known as Mike and Maty.
