History Series / RadioActive

* MistakenForGay: Ethan (and George), by Kevin, after the latter found a love letter in his locker and Ethan unthinkingly confirms it's from him, as he thinks Kevin is talking about his application to join the hockey team. Leads to such lines as, "I thought you knew, I've wanted this for a long time." and "You won't be disappointed, I've been practicing with George". When George tells Kevin that ''he'' wrote the letter, Kevin panics, convinced that his new cologne is responsible for his [[EvenTheGuysWantHim sudden attractiveness to men]]. It turns out the letter really ''was'' written by George, but he hadn't intended to give it to Kevin.

''Radio Active'' was a Canadian TV show that aired from 1998 - 2001 on Creator/{{YTV}} (and briefly on [[Creator/ABCFamily Fox Family]] in the US), based on the Quebec French series ''Radio Enfer''. The premise was simple: a group of students at Upper Redwood High School manage and run their own school radio station, entitled ''Radio Active''. [[HilarityEnsues Chaos frequently ensued]] as the group worked to avoid and undermine the sneaky teacher-supervisor Ms. Noelle [[MeaningfulName Atoll]], who always believes (usually rightly so) that they're up to something.

* BigNo: Morgan fakes a love note from her to nerd Lenny Porter-McKinsky as part of a scheme to get Kevin in trouble. Later, during TheStinger, Mr. Noseworthy tells Morgan that Lenny is looking for her and talking about "going steady". Morgan has an OhCrap reaction and turns to Kevin, who confirms that he gave her note to Lenny. Morgan then screams this trope.

* TheGhost: The characters occasionally mentioned other students like nerdy Lenny Porter-McKinsky or wrestling team captain Dutch Kowalski, but they never appeared on-screen.

* BottleEpisode: Every single one. This series was made ''on the cheap''. In the entire first season, ''only'' the eight regulars appeared, very literally; ''there were no other people in the entire school''. Even then, one or more of them was often missing. The producers decided to splurge on a few [[LivingProp token extras]] in later seasons, but it did little to hide the "budget" feeling.

* RaceLift: An in-universe example in the Christmas special, where the gang pretend to take Ms. Atoll back in time to when she was a teacher. In this scene, Ms. Atoll's past self is played by [[TokenMinority Tanya]]. Lampshaded by Ms.Atoll, who rightfully questions why she supposedly used to be black.

The original cast of characters consisted of students George S. Goodwin III, Tanya Panda, Morgan Leigh, Kevin Calvin and Ethan St. John. In 1999, Kevin and Ethan were [[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute replaced by]] Blair Resnicky and Roger Richards, who remained for the remainder of the show. The students were joined by supervisor Ms. Atoll and incompetent vice principal Mr. Noseworthy, and occasionally joined by Morgan's annoying younger sister, Sarah.

* MeaningfulName: Ms ''Atoll'', the strict disciplinarian that no one likes.

* HeyItsThatVoice: Michael Yarmush, who plays Ethan, is much better known as a voice actor. He had a very successful career playing young boy characters, most famously the first WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}.

* SpiritualSuccessor: The show ''Fries With That'' - same production company, same network (Creator/{{YTV}} ''still'' airs re-runs in pretty good timeslots), and one of the same leads. The acting and writing styles are virtually identical. To his credit though, the returning actor, who plays George in ''Radio Active'', plays a very different character (more an Ethan/Roger type).

* AbuseIsOkayWhenItsFemaleOnMale: [[ZigZaggedTrope Zig Zagged]] in the episode where Blair had a female bully. While a lot of her bullying was played for laughs, the other members of Radio Active were genuinely horrified and supportive of Blair.
