In its inaugural season, each episode had a different theme such as "Fantastic Failures", "What Was I Thinking?", etc. Over 100 videos were showcased per episode. 20 of those videos were on the main countdown, and normally came at the end of a series of videos based on the central theme that night.
For the second season, the countdown was dropped and the videos in each episode were grouped into different categories, which was seen in a sidebar on the right hand of the screen. The sidebar was discontinued for season 3 while keeping the same clip format from the previous season.
On March 12, 2015, truTV renewed the show for a third season. The third season consisted of 22 half-hour episodes and premiered on May 5, 2015.[3][4] There has been no talk of any more episodes.
