* ChannelHop: The series originally aired on Nickelodeon, then moved to Creator/{{Nicktoons}} in 2013 and eventually to the Creator/{{Noggin}} streaming service in 2015.
* 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).
* DevelopmentHell: Production of the series took almost 3 years to finish, only for it to get a shaky under promoted start and eventually cancelled.
* MissingEpisode: A Better Marftrap (the ''real'' first episode of the series where [[spoiler: Robot and Monster first encounter Marf]]) and Monster Lie (a Perry-centric episode) didn't air on broadcast television in the US and were instead released to the Creator/{{Noggin}} streaming app in 2015.
** Even better/worse, an ''entire'' second season of the series never got finished. [[https://vimeo.com/93517991 Apparently, a complete animatic for one of the Season 2 episodes (titled "Best in Marf") got uploaded to Platform/{{Vimeo}} by one of the show's storyboard artists.]]
* 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).
* ScrewedByTheNetwork: As per usual for a Nicktoon that isn't WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants or [[DenserandWackier a remotely]] [[WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents similar]] [[WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse show]], with episodes being aired out of order, being shafted to Nicktoons a year later, many random hiatuses, scheduling so haphazard that the only season would not finish its run until '''three years''' after its debut, with the last two episodes being dumped on the Noggin app (an app not even made for its' target audience), and an entire second season being thrown into the gutter along with the show itself.
