4* DawsonCasting: Irene Ng was 21 years old at the start of the first season and 24 at the end of the last when playing the teenage Shelby Woo.
5* LateExportForYou: The show didn't reach Japan until 1999 when it premiered on NHK Educational Television.
6* SeriesHiatus: Season 3 was planned to have 13 episodes, but production was aborted after eight had been completed. A fourth season consisting of 20 episodes was later taped in Montreal.
7* TroubledProduction: Production at Nickelodeon Studios, according to creator and executive producer Alan Goodman, was a nightmare. The Orlando weather never cooperated with daily thunderstorms making shooting conditions harsher that it had to be. Costs rose dramatically when the second season switched from videotape to film, cutting the third season short when an [=IATSE=] strike targeted the show. [=CINAR=] then took over as co-producer and moved production to UsefulNotes/{{Montreal}}.
