* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: When the series originally aired on MTV, the series soundtrack was full of popular 90s and 2000s pop and rock artists, such as Music/LennyKravitz, Music/KidRock, Music/{{Madonna}}, the Music/FooFighters, the Music/BeastieBoys and Music/ThirdEyeBlind. On international broadcasts, this soundtrack was replaced by a soundtrack of indie and emo rock bands, mostly Canadian artists. The MTV soundtrack is completely lost except for the track listings of episodes 4 and 5.

* DisqualificationInducedVictory: This is why the series exists at all. Pete Williams pitched the idea (then called "Click") due to MTV holding a contest where they were accepting pitches from people for a new cartoon. Williams won, but he later discovered it was because just 15 people entered the contest, and Williams was the only one who actually followed the instructions.

* TroubledProduction: According to various interviews with Pete Williams, the show's pre-production was no cakewalk.
** When the show was pitched at MTV, it was originally called ''The Click'' but spent three years stuck in focus testing before finally being made into a proper pilot... which was so poorly received that it killed any chances of the show being greenlit. Williams then tried to pitch the show at Creator/SyFy, who accepted it, but had to go back to MTV since they still owned the rights to the original pilot. This forced Williams to have to go through the trouble of ''recreating'' the original pilot, which thankfully did much better that time around.
