Overview

The show initially was deemed by critics as too upper-class for its target audience but later on it was embraced by the masses who followed the on-camera, off-camera love affair of its main hosts Martin Nievera and Pops Fernandez. When the show included the comic skit segment Donya Buding, a social commentator portrayed by Nanette Inventor, the show became a phenomenon in itself.
