** Michael Benyaer voiced Bob in the first two seasons before Ian James Corlett took over in Seasons 3 and 4. However, in the fourth season, Benyaer returned to voice him for flashbacks, and also to voice the "second" Bob in the latter half of that season.

* CastingGag: Michael Donovan voice the Barbarian User in the episode titled ''Icons''. Appropriate since he voiced Conan in ''WesternAnimation/ConanTheAdventurer''.

* AuthorExistenceFailure: Tony Jay's death means that whenever the films finally get made, they'll have to recast Megabyte.

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Got this big time from {{ITV}} in the UK, with episodes being pulled due to complaints from viewers about content during a children's TV slot, and the series finally getting dropped completely (it's never aired on British TV since then).

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic: [[spoiler:The real reason Daemon has a French accent is because she's set up to be like Joan of Arc.]]

** The little kid in "Icons" sounds ''exactly'' like [[CathyWeseluck Spike the dragon]].

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic: [[spoiler:The real reason Daemon has a French accent is because she's set up to be like Joan of Arc.]]

* FakeNationality: Cécil's voice actor, Dedicated Server, isn't French.

** Bob's voice actor changes midway through the series, then Bob's original voice actor came back as the "other" Bob in Season 4, and is promptly {{lampshaded}} by Dot by saying the "other" Bob "even sounds right." Original Bob even gets his original voice back after his original appearance is restored by Glitch.

** [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E9BridleGossip Flutterguy]] turns up as the Gigabyte, destroyer of systems.

** Phillip Hayes voiced Hack in Season 1 and for most of Season 2. ScottMcNeil took over from there and for the rest of the series.

* ExecutiveMeddling: Many aspects of the show had to be changed due to censorship issues from the Broadcast Standards and Practices department at ABC. The creators understood at least ''some'' of the changes, even if they did not agree with them [[hottip:*: Bob not being allowed to jump through sheet glass made sense somewhat as it is possible to imagine a child imitating that and getting severely injured from it]]. '''''However''''', some of the requirements were downright ridiculous. When celebrating Enzo's birthday, Dot (his sister) was not allowed to ''kiss him on the cheek'' since it was ''thought to be too incestuous''. Ian Pearson, one of the creators, stated that he found the reasoning behind that decision "...one of the sickest things I've heard."

* DevelopmentGag: In "The Medusa Bug" Phong explains that extended period being TakenForGranite by the Medusa Bug will eventually decompile low energy programs and up to high energy programs, showing an evolutionary chart of sorts displaying the hierarchy (street lamps - binomes - sprites). On the chart is a step between humanoid sprites and binomes of more blocky-looking humanoid form, which was the intended appearance of the main characters before they had the graphical power at what the show was eventually produced at.

* ExecutiveMeddling: Many aspects of the show had to be changed due to censorship issues from the Broadcast Standards and Practices department at ABC, lampshaded frequently. The creators understood at least some of the changes, even if they did not agree with them (Bob not being allowed to crash through a glass window makes at least superficial sense, since jumping through a window is something that is at least possible for a child to imitate); however, some of the requirements were downright ridiculous. When celebrating Enzo's birthday, Dot (His sister) was not allowed to kiss him on the cheek since it was thought to be promoting incest. Ian Pearson, one of the creators, stated that he found the reasoning behind that decision "one of the sickest things I've heard." This was frequently lampshaded within the show, with explicit references to [=BS&P=] and even a ''song'' about it, set to the music of YMCA with lyrics that represent the writers' rants about ExecutiveMeddling. There was also Dot's "monobreast" in which Dot's breasts were combined into a single, nonsexual lump.
