The Replacements (TV series)

The Replacements is an American animated television series that aired on Disney Channel from July 28, 2006, to March 30, 2009.^[1] 52 episodes of two seasons were produced.^[2]

The opening sequence explains that two siblings, Todd and Riley, lived in what used to be an orphanage with their birth parents' fate unrevealed. While cleaning the floors, they stumbled across a Fleemco comic book containing an ad for the Fleemco phone. They mail-ordered the ad and $1.98 for the phone—which allows them to replace any person or animal they desire—and in the process they got new adoptive parents: a British secret agent named Agent K and a professional daredevil named Dick Daring. Whenever Todd and Riley want to replace someone undesirable, they call Conrad Fleem on the Fleemco phone via a large button. Fleemco immediately replaces the person with someone whom the siblings prefer. The series follows their misadventures as they attempt to better their lives by replacing unwanted people, with said attempt usually backfiring and both learning a lesson about appreciating what they already have.

• Todd Bartholomew Daring (voiced by Nancy Cartwright) is Riley's 11-year-old younger brother. Todd is the lazy, troublemaking, and selfish one of the siblings. He and Riley are the adoptive children of Agent K and Dick Daring. Todd usually uses the Fleemco phone to replace people for selfish purposes. He is best friends with Jacobo and Shelton. Todd loves the Monkey Cop film series and playing the GameCone (a parody of Nintendo GameCube) video game console. He also loves playing games with Jacobo, Shelton, Buzz, Donny, Zephremiah, and Silent Joe. He dislikes school, learning, and reading, which forces him to replace the librarian in one episode.
• Riley Eugene Daring (voiced by Grey DeLisle) is Todd's 13-year-old older sister. She is the kinder, more caring, and reliable sibling who enjoys school. She generally uses the Fleemco phone to help others or to replace unfair adults who do not take her seriously. She enjoys horses and equestrianism, Hornet Hive Scouts (a Girl Scout-type of youth group), and any form of sugar. She loves playing games with Tasumi, Abbey, and Sierra. She has a crush on Johnny Hitswell, and they became a couple in the second season, but Johnny breaks up with her because of her jealousy.
• Karen "Agent K" Daring (voiced by Kath Soucie) resembles Emma Peel. She is the siblings' adoptive British mother and a spy. From an outside view, it seems she does not care for her kids nor husband, but in fact, she loves them devotedly, even though she may express it through a recording or videotape. If something seems unfair, she fixes it very quickly. As a downside of her career as a spy, Agent K is prone to paranoia and can be quite strict (particularly towards Todd). Karen's mother is also a secret agent.
• Richard Marion "Dick" Daring (voiced by Daran Norris) is the siblings' adoptive father and the world's greatest daredevil. Dick's appearance resembles that of Evel Knievel. He, like Todd, is not very smart, and is also very immature, as he owns a teddy bear known as "Evel Bearnievel". He thinks that C.A.R. is his best friend, though C.A.R. does not see it that way.
• C.A.R.T.E.R. (also known as C.A.R.) (voiced by David McCallum) is the high-tech family car with a British accent. He can do just about anything but is not always prepared to do something for the family, especially not for Dick. He never lets Dick drive him (presumably under the assumption that Dick's daredevil habits would wreck him) and scares Dick using "The Oslo Option", which consists of C.A.R. pulling out a spinning buzzsaw from his hood.
• Conrad Fleem (voiced by Jeff Bennett) is the mysterious owner of the Canton, Ohio-based Fleemco company. He processes Todd and Riley's requests whenever they call him. His face is never shown until the series finale "Irreplaceable," where he is revealed to be Todd and Riley's uncle.

• Tasumi (voiced by Lauren Tom) is Riley's Japanese-American best friend, who has a crush on Jacobo, as revealed in one episode when she kissed him. In the episode "Tasumi Unmasked", it is revealed that Tasumi is a Japanese pop star who moved to Pleasant Hills from her native country, in order to escape the constant adoration of her fans and live a peaceful life, as Pleasant Hills was voted as the least culturally aware town in the world and she believed that no one would recognize her.
• Abbey Willson (voiced by Erica Hubbard in season 1 and Tempestt Bledsoe in season 2) is Riley's African-American best friend. Even though she hates the popular girls such as Sierra, she is seen wanting to be a part of them so bad, and habitually tells Sierra she is cool, even though she does not mean to. She has a younger sister named Tiffany who dated Todd in the episode "A Little Tiff".
• Jacobo Jacobo (voiced by Candi Milo) is Todd's Mexican-American best friend. Jacobo loves mystery books and has a secret talent for singing. He has a crush on Agent K and is always trying to win her affections, even in the last episode "Irreplaceable," when he begins to date Tasumi.
• Shelton Gunnar Klutzberry (voiced by Jeff Bennett impersonating Jerry Lewis) is Todd's Eastern European-American friend and a stereotypical nerd. He is afraid of girls, and once had a relationship with Celebrity Starr. He also has an imaginary girlfriend named Zelda (since an imaginary girlfriend is all that he can handle). He often thinks of himself as cool and calls the others nerds. He becomes very muscular and handsome when he takes his glasses off, but this is not to his advantage because he cannot use contacts, and has to have heavy glasses (which causes him to appear weak and scrawny).
• Buzz Winters (voiced by Grey DeLisle) is a wannabe bully and is Todd's nemesis. He usually makes silly jokes then laughs at them. Although he is normally a bully in some episodes they have put their differences aside and even become friends. Deep down Buzz is jealous of Todd and Riley because their father is cooler than his is, as Buzz's father used to be the coolest in the neighborhood until Todd and Riley came along.
• Donny Rottweiler (voiced by Jess Harnell) is a professional bully who is much taller than Todd, but still attends his school. He is Buzz's mentor and Todd's other nemesis, feared because of his giant size.
• Johnny Hitswell (voiced by Dee Bradley Baker) is the subject of Riley's affection and her middle school sweetheart. Even though every girl in the school is all over him, he tends to always ignore them, except for his annual Kumquat Day card readings. He enjoys basketball and baseball, and plays on the same baseball team as Todd and Riley.
• Sierra McCool (voiced by Tara Strong) is the popular girl at school, and is Riley's nemesis. She is constantly competing with Riley for the affections of Johnny Hitswell. In the second season, when Riley and Johnny become a couple, her crush on him persists, and her aim becomes to break them up so she can be Johnny's girlfriend. She has her own posse (Jennifer and Claudia) and a huge, conceited ego.
• Principal Cutler (voiced by Jeff Bennett) is the Alaskan Native principal of George Stapler Middle School. Since he is originally from Alaska, he allows school on major snow days until Todd and Riley changed it one time.
