History Trivia / GlitchTechs

* WinBackTheCrowd: While Eric Robles' previous series, ''WesternAnimation/FanboyAndChumChum'', was incredibly divisive due to its dimwitted characters and zany humor, ''Glitch Techs'' has been much more positively received as a fun (if a bit cheesy) action-adventure show about video games that actually [[ShownTheirWork did the research]] in regards to the subject matter.

* SameContentDifferentRating: The show was originally rated TV-G when it debuted in 2020, but later the same year, it was given the new rating of TV-Y7-FV, which is the standard for American action/adventure animation intended for children.

* OutOfOrder: While care was made to make sure things still make sense chronologically, the Netflix order of episodes [[https://twitter.com/DanMilano/status/1237527329045270529 doesn't match the production order]], leading to characters appearing before they are formally introduced (most notably Zahra, Haneesh and Bergy). In particular, "Adventures In Pet Training" was actually [[https://twitter.com/DanMilano/status/1230915286120964098 the sixteenth episode produced]].

** Another notable instance is "Settling The Score", which was actually part of the real season 2 despite [[https://mobile.twitter.com/BernabeLimas/status/1312283633672163329 coming out]] during the second half of season 1.
* RuleThirtyFourCreatorReactions: Co-creator Dan Milano [[https://twitter.com/DanMilano/status/1235613017733128192?s=20 tweeted]] that people could draw whatever they wanted, but often reminds them that Miko, Zahra, and Five are below 18 years old. In any case, he also asked people to keep NSFW content of the show out of his sight.[[labelnote:*]]Though that doesn't stop him from occasionally "liking" any of the [[ActuallyPrettyFunny more comedic raunchy content]] that manages to come his way.[[/labelnote]]

* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** The intro and opening theme song were going to be different, according to this [[https://youtu.be/_gHSwu5WvbQ video.]]
** The ''WebVideo/TwoBestFriendsPlay'' cameo was originally going to include [[https://twitter.com/OffBrandLink/status/1230948972350427136 both Woolie Madden and Liam Allen-Miller]] as well.
** A few pieces of concept art reveal that the characters would have been much more homogenized with either young kids or teenagers, both Caucasian. One piece sees the group as more militarized with a third, more bulky alien-ish companion.
** Five and Miko were envisioned with different personalities. Early on, Five would've been more of a serious stick-in-the-mud who hated his job; he then became a somewhat incompetent bumbler, before being retooled into his current laid-back rule follower. Meanwhile, Miko was first envisioned to be more sarcastic and cynical, compared to the final show where she's more fun-loving and hyperactive.
** There was going to be some extra dialogue for Mitch, as shown in the [[https://mobile.twitter.com/DanMilano/status/1295857749432008704 second and third]] drafts of "Smashozaurs".
** Five and Miko's initial meeting was different. [[https://www.ign.com/articles/glitch-techs-netflix-nickelodeon-animated-show Originally]], Five was getting unfairly targeted during the game and Miko would have stepped into help. When Ashly Burch commented that no one who stop to help a random player like that in the middle of a gaming competition, since it's less competitors to worry about, it was changed to them being rivals who become friends after joining together in an EnemyMine situation against Mitch.
** A deleted scene from "Collection Quest" shows [[https://mobile.twitter.com/DanMilano/status/1300543646031200256 Five and Bergy]] stopping by a store and fooling around for a bit.
** Some early designs for [[https://mobile.twitter.com/crayonmonsters/status/1303000154253844481 Ridley]] showed that she would've been taller, and some designs showed that she had more frumpy clothing.
** One of the unproduced episodes was a crossover with ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'' (mixing their original comic book and 80s cartoon designs), with [[https://mobile.twitter.com/LegitEricRobles/status/1304975573018529792 Kevin Eastman]] voicing the Shredder.
** [[https://mobile.twitter.com/DanMilano/status/1353411323112038400 Cakey Von Smasher]] from "Ralphie Bear Is Back" was going to have more dialogue, but the extra lines were cut out.

** After finishing production on the first season in early-2019, almost everybody working on the series was fired and the production of a second season was halted with the series never even premiering on Nickelodeon. Eventually the series was given to Creator/{{Netflix}} as part of an agreement in early-2020. However, in March of the same year, Dan Milano confirmed that the series was cancelled-by-default with the finished work for the original season 2 in limbo. However, it has been said that the series may continue production depending on the series' popularity and fan engagement and if Nicklelodeon's execs are in a good mood.
** The "second" season dropped on August 17th, 2020 with little to no fanfare from Nickelodeon or Netflix. It ''is'' being promoted as a second season, though in reality it is simply the second half of season one.
* SameContentDifferentRating: The show was originally rated TV-G when it debuted in 2020, but later the same year, it was given the rating that it probably should have used to begin with (since it’s an action cartoon): TV-Y7-FV.
* TroubledProduction: On January 9, 2019, the crew for the show walked into work only to discover that [[https://www.cartoonbrew.com/business/nickelodeon-froze-production-laid-off-significant-crew-on-its-upcoming-series-glitch-techs-169049.html production had been "frozen" on the series]] in the middle of producing a ten-episode second season, and that anyone not required for post-production on the original 20-episode season one order was being immediately laid off. The reasons apparently being Nickelodeon's execs losing faith in the production due to its high costs, and also due to the company going into a restructuring to cut as many in-development projects and failing shows as possible [[note]]In other words, its ratings weren't as consistently high as ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' and was thus deemed a failure[[/note]].

** This [[https://www.ign.com/articles/glitch-techs-netflix-nickelodeon-animated-show article]] mentions how Five and Miko's initial meeting was different. Originally, it would've been about Five getting victimized by a bully and Miko helping him out. Ashly Burch stepped in and said how this would feel out of place in a gaming competition with people competing against each other and think "Well, that's one less competitor to worry about". As such, this changed. They start out as rivals, but once they see how much of an unsportsmanlike jerk Mitch Williams is during the competition, they then team up to take him down and eventually become friends.

** One of the unproduced episodes is a crossover with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, with [[https://mobile.twitter.com/LegitEricRobles/status/1304975573018529792 Kevin Eastman]] voicing the Shredder.
