I wonder what the deal is? Contract disputes?

My guess is that he is having writer's bloc and doesn't know how to match the success of the first two seasons. He has a lot of pressure on him by the network, having given him the largest cable contract ever and from fans who can't get enough of what he has already done.

I can't really find much info on Dave's forum. Lots of rumors though. :whoknows:

I hope Dave is alright and gets everything squared away and gets season 3 rolling. He truly is a unique talent and the most original entity going for television right now in the era of 'reality tv' and what other rehashed garbage the networks come up with.

Turns out he is just "stressed out"

Im also a big fan of DC, and wish him the best. The good part is when he snaps outta this you know damn well he will turn this situation into a sketch, mocking himself. Just a very bright mind. Im really looking fwd to the 3rd season.

Me too, but I wouldn't doubt if we have to wait until the fall. It's taken this long just to get season two out.
