" 'Sang Linggo nAPO Sila" garnered high ratings from the start of its airing on February 4, 1995 but it was not able to overtake "Eat Bulaga!" permanently, but it did gain popularity in regions where GMA's signals were weak and ABS-CBN's signals were stronger. The show also introduced many new talents to television. Some of the show's new talents would eventually make their mark in show business as box-office stars and acclaimed artists (recording, film and TV) despite "Eat Bulaga"'s reported clout and power in the showbiz industry.
