The multi awarded show Be Tipul, together with "A Touch Away" (Another Israeli TV show that was later bought and made into an American version), were, by many critics, the major factor in the "Boom" and rise of Israeli TV dramas in the mid 2000s, although "beTipul" was not considered a high profit investment, it did entice the development of new formats alike, and indeed more drama formats were acquired over the next two years including "Mesudarim" (Loaded) and "Mythological Ex".

[7] In May 2012, Argentina's public television network, TV Pública, started airing the local adaptation of the show.

The Brazilian adaptation of BeTipul premiered on October 1, 2012, on GNT, under the title Sessão de Terapia ("Therapy Session").
