The series achieved a record 18.6% viewing share on December 8, 1999, the highest share for a late-night program on a local TV station.
Production of the weekly regular series ended in September 2002, though new limited-run series were produced on average of every 18 months; the latest series was shown on HTB in late 2005, eight episodes in length.
Most of the series have been rerun under the names of Dōdeshō Returns and Suiyō Dōdeshō Classic.
