The show centred on the Webb family, played by actors Rebel Wilson, Celia Ireland, Travis Cotton, Jody Kennedy, Julie Herbert and Glenn Butcher, who act as a fictional family in a house purpose-built with hidden cameras to capture their performances and those of the unsuspecting guests who get brought into the family's "web".
The show debuted with an unimpressive 793,000 viewers tuning in.[http://www.crikey.com.au/Media-Arts-and-Sports/20080213-Things-going-Underbelly-up-at-Nine.html Things going Underbelly up at Nine] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080215235425/http://www.crikey.com.au/Media-Arts-and-Sports/20080213-Things-going-Underbelly-up-at-Nine.html |date=15 February 2008 }} It was pulled from schedules after its second episode, and axed by the network the following day.{{cite web|url=http://www.tvtonight.com.au/2008/02/gone-monster-house-returning-20-to-1.html|title=Gone: Monster House.
