History Trivia / AtomicBetty

** A sequel series called ''Atomic Betty Redux'' was in development, starring a teenage Betty, but got stuck in DevelopmentHell before [[https://www.reddit.com/r/CartoonNetwork/comments/ap0rxp/psa_there_will_be_no_atomic_betty_redux/ being scrapped entirely]] due to lack of interest from the studio's production partners.

** Betty was originally intended to be elementary school age, being around 8-years-old instead of a 12-year-old preteen, as seen in [[http://www.gulli.fr/Chaine-TV/Dessins-animes/Atomic-Betty/Personnages these]] [[http://www.gulli.fr/Chaine-TV/Dessins-animes/Atomic-Betty/Personnages#Les-parents two]] pieces of development art. This version of the character would have also had all her space missions take place at night, with her parents presumably dismissing her adventures as vivid dreams she had of her stuffed toys and their pet cat (hence Purrsy's resemblance to Maximus I.Q.).

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Started off on a primetime spot on CN. But was soon punted around the schedule before ending up on a early morning shift where barely anyone was awake to watch it.

** Betty would have been 8 instead of 12 due to her having [[http://www.gulli.fr/Chaine-TV/Dessins-animes/Atomic-Betty/Personnages a flower on her green skirt]] and [[http://www.gulli.fr/Chaine-TV/Dessins-animes/Atomic-Betty/Personnages#Les-parents carrying a Sparky doll all the time]]. If so, she would be 13 in 2013 (on the final episode) and possibly 4 during a flashback in Spindly Tam Kanushu. Also, Betty's missions took place at night.
