** In the Russian dub, some of the episodes of season 3 have almost everyone's voice replaced, with Tuck and Nora Wakeman sounding closer to their English voices, while Jenny's voice was made high-pitched and squeaky.

* 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 that channel's own [[WesternAnimation/WhateverHappenedToRobotJones robot]] [[WesternAnimation/{{Robotboy}} shows]], because creator Rob Renzetti was best known for his role in a number of CN productions, and/or the artstyle being reminiscent of said CN series ([=MLaaTR=]'s ArtDeco approach is a cousin to the minimalist Creator/UPA-style of ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' and ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'').

Misuse. Not only is Ink Suit Actor not a Trivia trope, but the trope specifically applies to when an animated character is modeled on their voice actor. Cartoon characters resembling real life people in general do not count.

** The show was treated worse in Canada. On Creator/{{YTV}}, the show often air in rather shoddy timeslots, complete with the third season not even finishing. (It was replaced without notice and never re-aired). In January 2014, the show would resurface on the Canadian feed on Nickelodeon, albeit [[FridayNightDeathSlot after midnight on weekends]], but the show was gone again by September, once again screwing over Canadian fans.

** The show came about simply as a result of Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} deciding they didn't want a sixth ''WesternAnimation/MinaAndTheCount'' short. The original concept was a teenage girl whose boyfriend was a robot, but Renzetti merged the two characters into a teenage robot girl, and the rest is history.
** Supposedly, Creator/StudioGainax (of ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' and ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt'' fame) wanted to create an anime reboot of the series due to [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff how popular the series is in Japan]]. Not unlike what happened to ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'', except [[Anime/DemashitaPowerpuffGirlsZ the latter became a reality]].

** There was supposed to be a third "Raggedy Android" episode with the human exoskin kidnapping Brad and threatening to kill him unless Jenny merged with her. It was scrapped because Nickelodeon felt it was too disturbing. Another scrapped episode would have seen Jenny time travelling team up with a young Dr. Wakeman in Skyway Patrol.
