In January 2011, MOD had released the first four episodes of the Best Wishes series, and has continued to release four new episodes on the last Friday of every month. However, no episodes were released in MOD during August, possibly due to YoYoTV overtaking MOD, having broadcasted all the way to the [[BW040|40th episode]]. MOD has resumed releasing four more episodes on September, and four more episodes subsequently. As of January 2012, YoyoTV had again broadcasted new episodes from Monday to Thursday all the way to the 52nd episode. The second season of Best Wishes premiered on July 16, 2012.
