Plans for a TTS error series created by Gemaconda (then known as TheVideoKid782) date back to February 2014.

Following this, Gemaconda continued to hint at plans for another TTS series concept.

In November 2014, a second attempt at an error series was made with the sucessful uploading of ''Windows XP Errors'' Episode 1. After that, Gemaconda posted on Skype that if he could find a Microsoft Sam online voice on his Chromebook, ''Windows XP Errors'' would then be cancelled in favor of the other series. There was no online MS Sam voice at that time. On December 10, 2014, in a skype group, series developer [[User:AceOfSpadesProduc100 TV|AceOfSpadesProduc100]] suggested that TheVideoKid782 could use IVONA voices to create a TTS series. In the next comment in the group, Gemaconda approved the concept, and produced the series premiere. The episode was uploaded a few minutes later.

*'''Microsoft Sam''' - Microsoft Sam was initially the commander of an evacuation between the IVONA and Speakonia voices in 2015. He was not seen again until 2018.

He also brings a sense of common sense to the family. Sam also holds the distinction as being the only depiction of Microsoft Sam as an African American male in the entire TTS universe.

Until S2EP5, Season 2 was the first season to be made without AceOfSpadesProduc100's involvement. His unexpected return in 2017 led to S2EP5 becoming the first episode since 2014 that AceOfSpadesProduc100 was involved with in production. However, this would be the sole episode Ace would produce within this season. The creator of the series, Gemaconda, is part of a community where social and political issues matter. AceOfSpadesProduc100 was fired from the show in September 2017 due to his views against social justice issues important to this community.

== Criticism and controversy ==

During the first season, the series received criticism for the clarity of errors and background noise. Certain critics were opposed to the series and thus called for the removal of the series from YouTube. During this period, TheVideoKid782 used a microphone to record voices rather than his Chromebook's speakers. Criticism of the series also came from the use of GoAnimate to produce the series, its use of which was discontinued late in the first season.
