- Adored by the Network: When this show was on Nickelodeon, it always seemed to be the "B" live-action show to Drake and Josh or ICarly. However, years after it ended, Teen Nick has begun to show reruns ad nauseam, giving it nearly as many showings a day as, if not more than, Degrassi the Next Generation. It is arguably responsible for Teen Nick's rapid Network Decay.
- Black Sheep Hit: Contrary to Dan's other shows, this one features a single camera filming style, giving it a more naturalistic look, has no laugh track, and decent continuity between seasons. Despite all that, it's often regarded as the best of the bunch and could even be considered the Super Prototype of Nick sitcoms.
- Cut Short: Played with. There is a decent (if somewhat rushed) ending to the show, but per Word of God it ended due to its high budget and there was more planned. Jaime Lynn getting pregnant however probably didn't help things.
- Hey, It's That Guy!:
- Lisa is played by former American Idol contestant Lisa Tucker.
- Lola would later be Tori Vega and Quinn would be Camille Roberts.
- A bunch of Dan Schneider people made appearances on this show. Jennette McCurdy was Dustin's girlfriend in one episode (who seems to be a Spiritual Successor to Sam) , Miranda Cosgrove was a science prodigy in another, Daniella Monet was Chase's girlfriend in a couple of episodes, and Allison Scagliotti (Mindy on Drake and Josh) was the girl who stole Zoey's backpack idea in Backpack.
- In Silver Hammer Society, one of the Silver Hammers would later be Zeke Beakerman.
- In Zoey's Ribs, the imposter Pierre Le Mange is Loren Lester, better known as the voice of Nightwing on Batman: The Animated Series and Barbeque on G.I. Joe.
- What Could Have Been:
- Per Word of God, Dana and Logan were originally planned to become a couple but this fell through when Dana was Put on a Bus and Logan was paired with Quinn.
- As said in Cut Short, had the series not faced budgeting issues, it could have kept going.
- Following the All That reunion and the iCarly revival, there were discussions to revive the show. Those plans came to a screeching halt in July 2021 when details emerged about how Jamie Lynn Spears had been part of Britney Spears' abusive conservatorship.
