The show premiered on January 5, 2014, replacing Toda Max and currently airs every Saturday from 6:45 PM to 7:30 PM, on the network's Yes Weekend! block. It also airs worldwide via TFC. The sketch comedy tackled the lives of a newly married couple and their ways to address the needs of a typical Filipino household.

After the departure of John Lloyd Cruz and Ellen Adarna, the show was later renamed Home Sweetie Home: Walang Kapares In 2018. Piolo Pascual, Ogie Alcasid and Rufa Mae Quinto were added during Cruz's absence.

A fully renovated season called Home Sweetie Home: Extra Sweet premiered on May 11, 2019. Star Creatives took over the production of the show. Several new cast members include Vhong Navarro, Luis Manzano, Alex Gonzaga, Bayani Agbayani, Rio Locsin, Edgar Mortiz and Pinoy Big Brother: Otso housemates Fumiya Sankai and Yamyam Gucong. Since March 14, 2020, the show's production and broadcast have been temporarily suspended due COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines. It was pre-empted with Wansapanataym reruns until the indefinite temporary closure of ABS-CBN because of the cease and desist order of the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC), following the expiration of the network's 25-year franchise granted in 1995.

However, according to an article from Philippine Entertainment Portal, Home Sweetie Home is slated to return on air by September 2020 through an independent blocktimer, and will air on TV5. However, the program was retitled as Oh My Dad! and not all members of the cast will be carried.

Home Sweetie Home follows the story of Romeo Valentino (John Lloyd Cruz) and Julie Matahimik (Toni Gonzaga) who lived together under one roof. Julie's mother Loi (Sandy Andolong) disapproves Romeo as her son-in-law because of his reputation as a womanizer, and prefers Jay-Jay (Jayson Gainza) whom she considers fit for her daughter, seeing him as responsible. Still, Romeo and Julie decided to marry each other. However, in turn, Romeo has to deal with Julie's family in the best way he knows how. The first season ends with Romeo suddenly disappeared.

In "Walang Kapares", Julie struggles to live without Romeo, who disappeared while working abroad overseas along with his workmate Tanya (Ellen Adarna).
