History Trivia / Sixteen

** There were allegedly plans for a reboot of the series in 2019 featuring the characters in their later teens/early 20s (complete with wardrobe updates). [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnJUADDhnbw&t=22s Alleged leak footage]] shows that the show would have maintained its familiar lineless artstyle and character designs, but with improved animation

* ContestWinnerCameo: In March 2006, Creator/{{Teletoon}} held a contest where one fan would win a chance to appear on the show as a guest voice and have their likeness animated too. The winner was Breanne Wolkowski, who appeared on the show as Jonesy's boss at Ci Ci Sombreros.

* WrittenByCastMember: Creator/TerryMcGurrin, Jonesy's voice actor, wrote quite a few episodes for the show, namely "A Ding from Down Under", "Sweet 6teen", "Silent Butt Deadly", "Oops, I Dialed It Again", "The One with the Cold Sore", "Life Slaver", both parts of "Labour Day", "The List", and "Role Reversal".

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Whether it was Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} or Creator/CartoonNetwork, ''6teen'' didn't have much luck in the U.S..

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: This show is very clearly set in the first half of the 2000s --
** Every character with a cellphone is shown with a flip-phone instead of a smartphone.
** Video rental stores are still a thing, with two of the characters even working at one for a large part of the show--also, illegal copies of movies and TV-shows are shared by selling discs instead of just streaming them over the internet.
** Texting is big while apps and social media are rarely (if ever) referenced--and when the latter is referenced, it's not until much later in the series, when websites like Facebook or even Myspace were still fairly new.
** The characters only ever have a little trouble finding new jobs with almost no references, clearly pre-Great Recession when competition for jobs made it harder for high schoolers to find part-time work in favor of unemployed adults.
** In "The Girls in the Band," Jen and Caitlin are shown listening to a song on a portable CD-player instead of listening to music through something like a smartphone or, at the very least, a portable music player such as an [=iPod=].
** With both the "retail apocalypse" and [[UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic COVID-19]] laying waste to brick-and-mortar retail, teens wouldn't be likely to hang around at malls anymore. Well, not for a while at least.
