* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: Among people unfamiliar with which show was made by which channel, there seems to be a recurring belief that Cartoon Network created ''My Life as a Teenage Robot'' rather than Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}. This may be derived from confusion with CN's own [[WesternAnimation/WhateverHappenedToRobotJones robot]] [[WesternAnimation/{{Robotboy}} shows]], the fact that creator Rob Renzetti is best known for his role in a number of early CN productions - most notably ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' and ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls''. Not helping is that the series' ([=MLaaTR=]'s ArtDeco-inspired style is comparative to the minimalist Creator/{{UPA}}-style of those series, although [[ThickLineAnimation that animation style]] was prevalent on many late 1990s and 2000s cartoons in general.

** Now here's the real kicker, no matter how much Rob Renzetti, let alone ANY of the cast & crew, expressed interest in continuing the show, neither Nickelodeon nor Creator/ViacomCBS are willing to revive it for their networks or streaming services. Therefore, this show's fate is now in a very bleak position.

** The episode listing on Paramount Plus, now the series' only proper viewing place, plays "Escape from Cluster Prime" as Season 3 episode 14; the de facto series finale. Presumably, the episode was already finished and set to air before Season 3 was fully greenlit.

* AccidentalDownerEnding: The final episode, "[[Recap/MyLifeAsATeenageRobotS3E13 Turncoats]]", centers around Wakeman having to fight her XJ robots after being hijacked by Dr. Locus. Jenny and Wakeman defeat Locus, but the final shot of the episode, and [[GrandFinale consquentially the entire series]], is of Wakeman being swallowed by a tiger. [[SequelInAnotherMedium Web novel]] that continued the series came out in 2023 ... ''[[SequelGap 17 years later]]''.

* WriterConflictsWithCanon: In a tweet by creator Rob Renzetti, he stated that the show is set in the present day (I.E. 2002 to 2006, when the show was in production). However, while the set year is never explicitly stated in the show, it is implied to be in the future. In the episode [[Recap/MyLifeAsATeenageRobotS1E8 I Was a Preschool Dropout]], Jenny tells Brad she was only born five years ago (from their time) and Brad then begins to list a number of events that all happened at that time. One of these was "Super Bowl 100". Given that 2002, the year the series and episode were made, was also the year of the 36th Super Bowl, and in-series five years had passed since "Super Bowl 100", this would make the show take place in 2071. Add 64 to 36 to get Super Bowl 100, which makes the year 2066 (2002 + 64), plus five years since Super Bowl 100 makes it 2071.

* SequelInAnotherMedium: [[MilestoneCelebration In celebration of the show turning 20]], Rob Renzetti announced on his newsletter that the show would be returning... [[BaitAndSwitch as a serialized web novel]]. Considering Nickelodeon's apathy towards the series that is ''just'' recently being reversed given the greater exposure in merchandise and games, fans sees this as a "good enough" situation.
