Cancellation
After episode 35, Multi got writers block and the series went on hiatus. During this time, Multi mainly made reviews and remakes. During an over 2 year long hiatus, Multi grew a dislike for his series (particularly seasons 1 and 2). This lead to the series being cancelled in favor of a reboot with the same name. The first episode of the reboot premiered on August 5, 2015.

- The Series didn't start consistently using a sky background till the season 2 finale.
