* LesYay: Let's just say that Kacie and Stevie have plenty of moments where they're ''really'' close with each other.
%%* MinorityShowGhetto: Only current live-action Nickelodeon show to have an African-American lead. (And cancelled after one season, no less.)
* WhatAnIdiot: Molly in "How To Rock A Music Video." Where on Earth did she get the idea that Kacey would accept having to play personal assistant to her just to get back in The Perfs?

* VindicatedByHistory: Word that the show--which had a dedicated fanbase and reasonable following--was canned due not to low ratings and that other Nick shows suffered the same fate at the time too gives creedence to the show being even more loved today by those who remember it.

* VindicatedByHistory: Word that the show--which had a dedicated fanbase and reasonable following--was canned due not to low ratings but because a few other shows along with it were also being canned to make room for ''Series/SamAndCat'' has shown that it would've likely seen a longer and far healthier longevity otherwise if not for that.

* BrokenBase: The cancellation caused the usual rumors for an unexpected cancellation- the main star didn't want to do it, the creator pissed off the network or didn't want to do it themselves- before Jim O'Doherty explained why- the network decided to cancel most, if not all, of its live action TV lineup, in favor of setting up ''Series/SamAndCat''.
** Even worse, the Sam & Cat issue was made irrelevant when Alloy Entertainment (who owns the book series) was purchased by Creator/WarnerBros. in June 2012-''halfway through the show's run''. Between both of the above it's a miracle ''How To Rock'' was even allowed to stay on the main channel at all, let alone air the rest of it's episodes as a regular fall season.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Stevie, Zander, Nelson and Grace.

* HarsherInHindsight: Kacey spent most of the series trying to stop and outdo Molly since being kicked out of the Perfs. She was able to beat Molly and get the last laugh many times, but their backstory in "How To Rock Christmas" reveals that this is exactly the type of behavior Kacey had towards Molly when she was queen of the Perfs and [[FreudianExcuse why Molly has such a grudge against her to begin with[[.
