The programme was seen by 550,000 users over Novebox.com, from Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay during its first season and beginning of the second.[2]

This series is the second Hispanic TV program dubbed in English language in the Philippines through Q (now GMA News TV), next to Ka Ina, which was dubbed in English through Citynet Television, which was a former subsidiary of GMA Network.

Amanda O won a merit award and was given two nominations in the 2009 Martin Fierro Awards: for Best Comedy Series and for Best Actress in a Comedy Series (Natalia Oreiro). The Merit Award came from The Accolade Competition for Internet Site Streaming indicating exceptional achievement in craft and creativity or standout entertainment or contribution to great social change.[3]
