* 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''), although [[ThickLineAnimation that animation style]] was prevalent on many 2000s cartoons in general.

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: After doing well by the network during its first season, the show later suffered some of the most horrific treatment in the network's history afterwards.
