Similar to South Park in the United States, the series dealt with many issues that concerned the Middle East population but in a way that could be less offensive and more family-friendly.

Due to the show's success, after the show ended, a spin-off titled Qatouta and Kaloob (Arabic: قطوطة وكلوب, romanized: qatutat wakulub) was released during the Ramadan of 2003 and aired on Kuwait TV, made by the same people who worked on Block 13, and directed by Nawaf Salem Al-Shammari.

They decided to make a second season of the series to air on Alrai TV, and due to finance problems, the show got cancelled.

The basis for identifying it as a reboot is primarily attributed to the involvement of a significant number of individuals who previously contributed to Block 13, in addition to the shared nomenclature and milieu between the two productions.
