Each day of the show had a theme: Mondays focused on the occult with psychic Madame Rosa in Iparamdam kay Madam. Tuesdays and Thursdays tackled love and sex issues with therapist Dr. Margie Holmes. Wednesdays covered crime and current events, while Fridays featured dramatizations of viewers’ life stories in Kung Maibabalik Ko Lang, inspired by Regine Velasquez-Alcasid's 1987 song.

It achieved unprecedented ratings and became a top revenue generator for ABS-CBN, with advertisers eager to sponsor the program.
