In September 2009, Glass announced that he and the other creators of the show had "asked to be taken off TV", largely in part to the difficult schedule required to produce a television program.[3] He went on to state that the show is officially "on hiatus", but would like to do a television special at some point in the future.[3] From January 10 to April 4, 2011, Current TV re-aired the series in its entirety.[4]
