Before long Wahoo [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome unceremoniously disappeared]] from the strip, and it was renamed after the new main characters: ''Steve Roper and Mike Nomad''.

* A number of people mistake the name of ''WesternAnimation/{{Jem}}'' as "Jem and the Holograms" because that's the actual name of the band she performs with in the show. Even [[http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thedudette/nostalgia-chick/31375-jem-and-the-holograms The Nostalgia Chick]] did this when reviewing the show. In the 2010s the name of the series was outright changed to "Jem And The Holograms". The LiveActionAdaptation, IDW comics, dvds, and reruns refer to it as such.
