| - A Hiatus (in terms of television programming) is essentially a break period between episodes and normal schedule programming. Normally used during periods of 'seasons,' a hiatus can be called on a series for numerous reasons. Some hiatuses are planned, normally done so episodes can be released on a date where ratings would be the highest. They can also be unexpected, caused by certain factors such as budget, lower ratings, involvement of other shows on the same network, etc.

| - A Hiatus (in terms of television programming) is essentially a break period between episodes and normal schedule programming. Normally used during periods of 'seasons,' a hiatus can be called on a series for numerous reasons. Some hiatuses are planned, normally done so episodes can be released on a date where ratings would be the highest. They can also be unexpected, caused by certain factors such as budget, lower ratings, involvement of other shows on the same network, etc. Happy Tree Friends is no exception to hiatuses being called. Unlike usual series found on television, where episodes of a series could be released on a weekly basis during a season, episodes of Happy Tree Friends are made in a process of ordering/requesting by Mondo Media. This means if Mondo Media does not order an episode, production for said episode will not be made. This setup is subject to multiple break periods between episodes, long or short, and for many reasons. The budget is the main factor to most of the show's hiatuses. To date, there have been three large hiatuses called on the Internet series of Happy Tree Friends: one being a two-year-long hiatus during the television run of Happy Tree Friends, one fourteen-month-long hiatus between the episodes See You Later, Elevator and Clause For Concern, and one after the release of Dream Job, which would last over two years until December 2016.
