Go To


1	* AdoredByTheNetwork: Nickelodeon constantly ran previews and ads for the show when it was airing. Even people who didn't watch it confessed to getting the catchy theme song stuck in their head.
2	* FollowTheLeader:
3	** Nickelodeon's second sitcom with Latino protagonists, following ''Series/TheBrothersGarcia''. One character on the latter is even a fame-seeking teenage girl.
4	** Then we have ''Series/{{Victorious}}'', a show whose premise is almost verbatim copy of ''Taina''.
5	* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The original English version of ''Taina'' is a no-show on Creator/ParamountPlus, with Website/YouTube being the only way to rewatch the series. The Spanish dub on the other hand is freely available on Creator/PlutoTV... for Latin American viewers only.
6	* SheAlsoDid:
7	** Tracy Grandstaff, who wrote a number of episodes, is better known as the voice of [[WesternAnimation/{{Daria}} Daria Morgendorffer]].
8	** Creator/MelissaJoanHart, famous for her roles as [[Series/ClarissaExplainsItAll Clarissa Darling]] and [[Series/SabrinaTheTeenageWitch Sabrina Spellman]], directed an episode.
9	* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Despite getting Nickelodeon's biggest ratings in three years (and the ratings doubled in the second season), it was cancelled purportedly because the audience for the show [[GirlShowGhetto skewed too female]]; Christina Vidal alleged that it was canceled when she got a recording contract with MCA Records, which Nick saw as a conflict of interest (they also weren't happy about Vidal lawyering up and looking into some of the dubious agreements for the show that Nick wanted her to sign)
10	* ShortLivedBigImpact: The show only lasted two seasons, but is still fondly remembered for being one of the few series at the time to star a Latina lead and the 20th anniversary of its premiere was celebrated all over social media, even by the Nickelodeon socials. More to the point, it did have a SpiritualSuccessor in ''Series/{{Victorious}}'' that had considerably more success and owes a lot to ''Taina''.
11	* TechnologyMarchesOn: The episode with the cell phone is ''hilariously'' dated after the days of smart phones. That said, it's still absolutely [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments hilarious]] when everyone holds paperclips and connects to Taina to help her get reception.
