The Replacements is a Disney Channel animated television series for children that ran originally from July 28, 2006 to March 30, 2009. Although the series originally aired episodes on Saturdays at 8:00pm EST, it was moved to Mondays at 5:00pm EST.
Plot
The opening sequence explains that siblings Todd and Riley lived what seem to be their entire lives in an orphanage, with no explanation of what happened to their birth parents. While cleaning the floors, they stumbled across a Fleemco comic book. They mail-ordered a Fleemco phone (which allows them to replace any person or animal they desire) and in the process they got new parents: a female British secret agent named Agent K and a professional daredevil named Dick Daring. Whenever Todd and Riley want to replace someone, they call Conrad Fleem on the Fleemco phone via a large button. Fleemco immediately replaces the person with someone to the liking of Todd and Riley. The series follows their chaotic misadventures as they use Fleemco to attempt to better their lives in nearly every problematic situation they encounter.
The first season was mostly episodic. The plots focused on the siblings replacing people in their lives, only for the replacement to go awry. Each episode consisted of two eleven-minute stories, save for "Halloween Spirits" and "London Calling", which were half an hour long. In the second season, half-hour episodes became the norm. Many second-season episodes were character-driven; Fleemco's replacement service barely figured into the stories.
A story arc in both seasons involved Riley's crush on Johnny Hitswell; a love triangle formed between them and mean girl Sierra McCool. Another story arc involved Agent K's pursuit of arch-enemy Doctor Skorpius.
