The wives are shown leaving the home before the 48 hours begins and coming back to greet their family once the 48 hours have ended.

Occasionally celebrity friends of the dads will stop by to interact with the kids

The show is filmed with set up cameras and cameraman hiding in tents and playhouses in each of the celebrities actual home. Family and friends of the celebrity dads will occasionally show up in each episode. On each episode, as the show moves from one family to the next, a brief narration by the narrator is given to introduce the next segment of the episode.
