%% ContestWinnerCameo: Josh and Katlyn in Season 4.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Zita is a fan of an ''VideoGame/{{Everquest}}'' parody (which still exists but has been overthrown by ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft''), there's a '90s-esque reoccuring BoyBand, and Kim's fashion sense reeks of early 2000s. Not to mention the extreme sports theming of several episodes.

* ActorAllusion:
** Monkey Fist isn't the only [[WesternAnimation/TheWildThornberrys British-accented nonhuman-primate-influenced character]] that Creator/TomKane has voiced.
** The Fearless Ferret episode was a cross-spoof of the 60s ''Series/{{Batman|1966}}'' series and ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond''. Will Friedle was the voice actor for ''Beyond'''s Terry [=McGinnis=], while Timothy North's voice actor was Creator/AdamWest, who played Batman in the 1960's TV show.
** This [[Series/SmartGuy isn't the first time Tahj Mowry's played a kid genius on a Disney show.]]
** Also, Chris [=McDonald=] (Hego) voiced Franchise/{{Superman}} on an episode of ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'' with Will Friedle.
** In "And The Molerat Will Be CGI", Monique, played by Raven-Symone, gossips at a table with Kim, Bonnie and teen idol actress Heather, played by Anneliese Van Der Pol, who plays Chelsea Daniels in ''Series/ThatsSoRaven''. Monique and Heather can really relate to each other.
** During a scene in ''The Cupid Effect'', [[ItMakesSenseInContext while ad-libbing a love note to Wade's Mom]], Señor Senior Sr. (Ricardo Montalban) casually tosses in a line about chasing the wealth of the world " [[Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan 'round perdition's flame]]".
** Kim's lab partner, Justine Flanner, is voiced by Mayim Bialik (best known as ''Series/{{Blossom}}'' and Amy from ''Series/TheBigBangTheory''), who holds a degree in neuroscience.
** Creator/AprilWinchell could be heard several times as a [[WesternAnimation/ClerksTheAnimatedSeries nasally-voiced news reporter]], and once [[WesternAnimation/{{Recess}} as a gravelly-voiced teacher]].
** Creator/RichardStevenHorvitz voices the Team Go enemy Aviarius almost exactly like [[WesternAnimation/InvaderZim Zim]].

** Wade once went to Paris and then lied to Kim telling her he was there to fix the "French Internet".[[note]]He was actually having a secret date with Monique, but that's another story.[[/note]] Kim comes to the conclusion he was lying because she remembers the Internet is one united worldwide network. But, there was a "French Internet" of sorts between 1978 and 2012, or rather a pre-WWW precursor to the Internet as we know it today, the [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minitel Minitel]],[[note]]OK, actually Teletel; Minitel was the name of the terminals one accessed the network, but people usually just called both "Minitel" anyway[[/note]] which was able to implement various functionalities we now take for granted online.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Ciara Wilson originally auditioned for the role of ''Kim'' before getting cast as Athena, who was named Artemis in early development.

* LifeImitatesArt: In "Grudge Match" it's revealed that Vivian Porter actually built the top-secret robot but passed it off as being created by Oliver(who himself was a robot created by Vivian) because people didn't take her research seriously because of her looks(blonde and wearing a tube top and mini-skirt). In real life there is a female tech-creator-[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naomi_Wu Naomi Wu]] who dresses similarly to Vivian and also has issues with people not taking her research seriously because of her looks.

* DawsonCasting: Like many Creator/DisneyChannel shows, this is mostly avoided for the most part, such as 16-year old Sadie Stanley playing 16-year-old Kim and 13-year-old Issac Ryan Brown playing 10-year-old Wade. Exceptions include 20-year-old Creator/SeanGiambrone as 16-year-old Ron and 20-year-old Erika Tham as 16-year-old Bonnie, but due to them being YoungerThanTheyLook, this is not obvious.

* ReleaseDateCHange: The show was originally supposed to premiere in January 2002 according to this [[https://youtu.be/CcRPeLuRuKo?t=24 promo]] from the Spy Kids home video release, for whatever reason it was pushed back to summer.

* BreakawayPopHit: Sort of. "Call Me, Beep Me" was played in heavy rotation... on Radio Disney.

* {{Defictionalization}}: Purely unintentional...[[WildMassGuessing probably]], but there was a great deal of positive response to Taco Bell's Beefy Nacho Burrito because after ten years they finally caved and made a real life Naco. The Grilled Stuffed Nacho introduced in December 2013 is perhaps even closer to the Naco.

** ''So the Drama'' was originally written as a live-action adaptation of the TV show, which explains the film's BroadStrokes.
