Gadgets and Gizmos had been cancelled, however according to Marc Saltzman, the show had only ended production for the year and could possibly be renewed for another season. As of July 2008, the show has not returned with new episodes. Gadgets and Gizmos will most likely never return to air as its sister show Call for Help had also been cancelled some time after
Gadgets and Gizmos. The show continues to air on G4techTV Canada in early mornings with outdated episodes, followed by Call for Help.
