* QuietlyCancelled: After episode 11 was released in late December 2015, no new episodes were released, with no Website/ChannelAwesome media produced since acknowledging its existence.



* ScheduleSlip:
** After seven weeks of consistent episodes (to a positive reception as well), [[https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=870931849644252&id=119355004801944 Rob said]] that it had to fall to the wayside while they focus on Critic again, and they'll "probably" go back to it after October. [[https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=933184150081380&id=127127037353766 Doug's post was more reassuring]]. Lampshaded in ''Dirk's Diggler'' (when it came back), with Critic saying “madness doesn't die, it just takes a break”.
** Going through another one after episode 11, not having a new episode since late December ''2015''.
* SeriesHiatus:
** It takes a few, one example being being put on hold after [[https://twitter.com/fardmuhammad/status/702552857241853952 CA's January copyright strike]] and them struggling to get things back on track.
** Nearly two years and no new episodes. It's not even acknowledged on the 2017 channel trailer.

* ExecutiveMeddling: About twenty five minutes into [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVtfth5eyFg this panel]], Mr Walker discussed the maligned set of the game show, and that Michaud literally went to Jim and said “we're gonna do a quiz show, build me a set”, and because they had no idea what it was going to be like, Jim built the thing and if they'd known, would have probably made a different one.

* AshcanCopy: The reason the episodes that were produced exist, according to some; Indiegogo were preparing to investigate [[Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses Channel Awesome]], since it appeared they weren't producing ''any'' of the promised shows, so the series pilot was put up, and the show went for another 11 episodes, very short of the announced 40. This was just enough to legally cover Channel Awesome and get Indiegogo off their backs.

** They apparently had to reshoot the pilot ''seventeen times''. Adding into the fact that the Indiegogo happened in Summer 2013, and said pilot came out... in early ''2015''. Then, the show needed to be retooled still due to negative reception, changing hosts (Doug as the Nostalgia Critic rather than Brad Jones) in the shift as well.
** Along with all the other mocking of the show in episode 7, Doug complains that the burning lights are particularly obnoxious when you have to wear a black suit jacket.
** In March 2018, Creator/AllisonPregler revealed that the main reason the infamous pilot episode aired was because [[https://twitter.com/Obscurus_Lupa/status/975819324366774273 IndieGoGo was preparing to investigate Channel Awesome for fraud]] due to how long it was taking for the funded shows to be released. She goes on to state her belief that the only reason the series continued for another 11 episodes, instead of the advertised 40, was so that Channel Awesome would be legally covered as they made an "effort" to produce the content they promised.
** Allison also revealed that the reason the pilot had to be re-shot seventeen times was because Channel Awesome's studio is actually a refurbished warehouse that was never properly soundproofed, so the sound quality for the show was terrible.

** Brad's not the only one who mocked it. On a Barney [[note]]Rob and Doug's dad[[/note]]/Tamara/Malcolm/Fard panel, while they said it was a work in progress, they were laughing about how badly it was received and Doug was saying that having to clean the set floor (because it was dirty) made him and the other guys feel light-headed for weeks.
