[1] In each episode, a boyfriend in a new relationship is brought "home" to meet his girlfriend's family, unaware that they're all played by actors or that the house is filled with 30 hidden cameras; the show was also effectively a game show, in which the couple would win a romantic vacation for two at a luxury resort if the boyfriend was successfully kept in the home for three hours without running away from the insanity of his girlfriend's "family".
[2] The series was produced by Frantic Films and shot on location in Toronto, Ontario.
In the first season, the series had a regular cast of comedic actors who played the family members, including Terry Barna as the dad, Liz Best as the mom, Hannah Hogan as the sister and Jason DeRosse as the brother.
Citytv renewed the series for a second season,[4] which premiered on September 13, 2014 and concluded February 21, 2015.
The second season featured a crossover episode with The Bachelor Canada, in which Tim Warmels (The Bachelor) shows up at the house with roses for the family's mother in an attempt to make the boyfriend believe she was having an affair with Warmels.
