* SeriesHiatus: With the third season dubbed the "finale" of ''Board James'', the series won't be seeing any new episodes for the foreseeable future.



* WordOfGod: According to James, the "Dream Phone" episode was not intended to be the GrandFinale for the show. He announced plans on working on a new season to keep the show going, but the ''AVGN Movie'' caused a severe ScheduleSlip. Fortunately, he was able to reactivate the series in 2015.
