Produced by Valerio Lazarov's company Prime Time for Televisión Española and created, written, and directed by Sebastián Junyent,[7][8][2] the series was filmed in presence of a studio audience.[2] Just like some other comedy series of the time, it was based on an "inoffensive and banal" brand of humour driven by the histrionism of the characters.[9] It premiered on 15 February 1996 on La Primera, drawing 8,491,000 viewers (a 46.01% share).[10] The series dominated the prime time for the rest of its broadcasting run, with audience peaking on 15 May 1996 at 8,675,000 viewers and a 50.6% share.[11] The series finale aired on 25 December 1997, yet a special episode of compilatory nature aired in January 1998.[1]
