I have seen both episodes and I say this show is very entertaining if you are a fan of hidden camera shows. Unlike most hidden camera shows which play a prank on a bunch of people like on Candid Camera or Just For Laughs Gags, this show is about a girlfriend who sets up her boyfriend by inviting him home to meet her family for the first time. But of course her family is actually actors pretending to be her family. The reactions of these poor boys to the things that the family members get him to do are very funny. One episode had a mother who was drunk with two broken arms so he had to feed her punch from the big punch bowl and sing Christmas carols at the table because she wanted to pretend it was Christmas. You have to like your pranks a little mean because the father got fired from his job and got the guy to tape record his last will and testament and told the guy he was planning to kill himself, and the boyfriend looked like he was going to be sick. At the end of the show they tell him that it was just a joke and he wins money or a free trip. The show isn't perfect and could be better but as far as just laughing at a prank on someone it is very fun to watch.

This show is hilarious!

I love that these guys they get are so gullible or maybe so actually for real in love with their girlfriends that they actually believe that their families are real and actually as crazy as they pretend to be on TV.

You can tell it is real because they are so awkward and their reactions are so real. The guy who gets screamed at and then when he sees a baby shot up into the sky out of a cannon was really priceless, that was nuts.

The one with the Bachelor in it is great because the guy basically tells him he is a nobody and says screw off it made me spit up my drink.

Laugh out loud funny show! I am trying to find season one now I didn't even know that it existed until this year.

This show has a lot of really funny moments that made me laugh out loud but others do not find this sense of funny to be funny at all. There are some parts where it is kind of boring and by that I mean there are parts where they are talking and then it drags on with nothing really happening and nobody doing anything other than talk.

But when it gets to the funny parts they can be very funny. One of the episodes had the boy friend put on the tightest little pair of shorts ever and then get in the hot tub with dad like within a minute of getting into the house. Right away after that dad is rubbing his back and chest and then gets him to do exercises where they shake their butts in front of the camera. Why on earth any guy would put on tiny little girl size shorts and then let dad rub there chest and do butt exercises I do not know :) If you like watching guys have pranks done on them you will love this show I have seen every episode and I love pranks and the guys get it very good. If it makes you squirm to watch guys freak out and get pranked then you won't like this show.

For example the one I already talked about at the end of the show the guy turns around and sees an old lady dead body back from drowning in the ocean and he totally freaks. Some people think that is funny but some people don't it just depends which kind of people you are for if you will like this show or not!

Watched this show last night and it was so funny. A boy goes to his date's house to meet her parents but it is a prank show where there are hidden cameras and instead of parents there are actors playing her parents and also a brother and a sister and all of them are designed to freak the guy out. They make him do things like help destroy their office or prove he doesn't have a tattoo under his jockeys. Not sure what else to say. Couldn't hear the guy sometimes but he kind of mumbled and talked low. They made him sing jingle bells because the mother was drunk and wanted to pretend it was Christmas, stuff like that. We both laughed a lot! Poor guy!

I had no idea what this show was when we watched it. At first we thought it was the movie Meet the Feebles for some reason it was all screwed up but obviously when it started up it was not Meet the Feebles. It was a reality show but not really a reality show. The pranks they play on the guy make him look pretty stupid but it also seems very mean because he really thinks he is meeting his wife or girlfriend's family but they are actually actors and the wife or girlfriend set him up for these pranks, where the actors playing her family are mean to him or just crazy. We couldn't help but laugh at the poor guy and in the end they gave him a free trip and he was OK with it but at the time he seemed so upset that the family didn't like him. I give it a 6 out of 10 and would go higher except it seems a bit mean and mostly it just looks cheap with cheap Canadian production values. But it is funnier than Canadian shows that look more expensive. Worth watching I assume maybe half the people will think it's funny like me and half the people will hate it for being cheap or mean.

We watched this online and I liked it a lot. The show is about a girlfriend who brings her boyfriend home to meet her parents and brother and sister but it turns out they are actually pretending to be her real family and they are pranking the boyfriend who has no idea he is on a TV show. It seems simple and stupid but watching someone figure out that they are getting screwed with is funny, when they make them do all kinds of stunts. I guess the boyfriend will agree to do anything to make his girlfriend happy! I think sometimes the show could be more funny or make the guy do even crazier stuff or push him further before they give up and send him away to talk to the other people but for pure entertainment value it made me laugh which is more than most shows. It is a web show on City TV's web site.

This is the funniest hidden camera show I've seen yet. The pranks in this show are hilarious I can't believe the stuff they do to these guys!

This is a really funny show I wish I knew where I could find season two.

I can't help but feel for these guys on this show. They come to this house to meet their girlfriend's family for the first time and from the moment they arrive they end up getting tortured going from one situation and one crazy family member to the next. It is very cruel because these guys obviously are on their best behaviour and willing to put up with pretty much anything to get on the good side of their girl's family. I admit I laugh and a lot of it is funny but it is also sometimes kind of cruel for instance in at least one show they convince the guy that grandma died while he was alone in the room watching her and make him feel guilty about it. Best thing on City TV for the time being but sad to say that isn't saying much.

I did not know what this show was about when we first started watching it, but I decided to give it a try. My 37 yr. Old son was in the room with me when I started to watch it and within just 2 minutes of the show opening it had us both laughing at it. I do not know how the actors in this show can keep a straight face. They are very good. I would never be able to pull this off, I have never seen any of them before, but they are awesome. It is somewhat a reality show, but there are actors in the show. I hope it makes it to season 3, because it sure does deserve a season 3. None of it is mean but the participants do have to have a good sense.

I'm more here talking about the UK series which i happened to stumble across on Netflix. What an absolute load of nonsense this is. Who would genuinely fall for this? Five minutes into this and i'd be walking out on the family and relationship. It's too stupid to even be considered as genuine.
