- Home Sweetie Home is a Philippine sitcom broadcast by ABS-CBN, starring Toni Gonzaga and John Lloyd Cruz. 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 growing typical Filipino household. It was replaced by My Papa Pi. 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 were temporarily suspended due to the community quarantines because of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines. It was replaced 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, through 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. (en)
