Added DiffLines:

* CreatorBacklash: The show appears to be something Nickelodeon wants to forget doing. They debunked a second season during mid-production, aired the episodes OutOfOrder, shafted it to Nicktoons, removed every trace of it on their website, and took reruns off the air in 2015, leaving only two episodes unaired. (These episodes being A Better Marftrap and Monster Lie. Apparently, the former was supposed to be the REAL first episode of the series, and was even produced as such) Because it is rarely acknowledged by many people, It's really impossible to find the whole series online, however, Nick was somehow generous enough to put all of Season 1 on DVD (Including the unaired episodes).

Added DiffLines:

* NetworkRedHeadedStepchild: While the show (especially Monster) includes some positive messages about friendship and perseverance, it's not exactly educational and has lots of cartoonish violence. This made it an odd choice for the Noggin app, which is mostly made up of educational shows. It's possible ''Robot and Monster'' was chosen to provide some content for older kids (Noggin started out as a tween-targeted brand, after all).
