 * God Does Not Own This World: although Kent Osborne created the series, its characters, concepts and premise, all those are ultimately owned by The Walt Disney Company.
 * Sleeper Hit: by the time it was pitched, Disney Channel's executives had low expectations about the show, especially since it was different than the shows they did until now and were afraid that an action-skewed show wouldn't avenge on the channel (that is before Kim Possible, which premiered two years before, was greenlit), especially after the box office flops of Atlantis: The Lost Empire and Treasure Planet. Fortunely, it quickly became a huge hit and it was one of the shows that contributed to Disney Channel to become a stronger competitor to Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon, eventually becoming Adored by the Network and a Cash Cow Franchise.
