In an attempt by PocketWatch to match the YouTube channel's style, all of the show's dialogue is improvised, and the only scripted segments are scene transitions and explanations of the challenges.[3]
On March 28, 2024, the series was removed from Paramount+ as part of a "strategic decision to focus on content with mass global appeal."[5]
The series focuses on Ryan, his parents, and two animated characters named Gus the Gummy Gator and Combo Panda. Episodes show a selection of physical challenges and unboxing puzzles.[6]
The show's first 20 episodes were announced as part of Nickelodeon's 2019 content slate on February 14, 2019.[7] On April 24, 2019, the series was renewed for a second season of 20 episodes, bringing a total of 40 episodes for the series.[8] On February 24, 2020, the series was renewed for a third season of 20 episodes, bringing a total of 60 episodes for the series.[9][10] On June 30, 2020, the series was renewed for a fourth season, initially consisting of 10 episodes.[11] On September 24, 2021, the season was given an additional 20-episode order, bringing a total of 90 episodes for the series.[12]
