The whole idea behind the show was [[Work Com|seeing how disastrous things could get on-air and off-air, with characters fighting each other]], and [[Only Sane Employee|Juanín]] trying to get everyone to do their things.

** "Panashiva" is a ''real'' brand of cheap and shoddy electronics sold in Chile during the early 2000's.

* [[Everything Talks]]: is assumed that ''all'' the objects in the show are sentient, save when the plot requires otherwise.

* [[Executive Meddling]]: In [[Real Life]], Patana was added to the show because in focus group made by the channel they pointed that the show needed a "permanent female character". Her name, which translates as 'she-bumpkin', reflects the initial lack of enthusiasm by the crew.
