Homefront was a television show that had 42 episodes over two seasons in the United States on ABC from 1991 to 1993. Set in the 1940s shortly after World War II, the story revolved around three Ohio families. The show suffered from low ratings throughout its run. TV Guide, Abigail Van Buren, and fans showed determination in getting ABC to continue the show for a second season before it was cancelled.
Homefront is also the name of a completely unrelated interior design "makeover" TV show on the BBC, on par with American television's This Old House and Martha Stewart. The programme appeared in two formats. The original format was a half-hour show hosted by Tessa Shaw, which ran c.1992-1997 and featured numerous different designers giving advice on DIY projects. The second was an hour-long makeover show presented by Lawrence Llewellyn-Bowen and Diarmuid Gavin. This version originally aired concurrently with the original format as a spin-off titled Homefront Inside Out, but took on the title of the parent programme when the original format was axed. A variant titled Homefront in the Garden also aired, hosted by Shaw and featuring Diarmuid Gavin and Kevin McCloud.
