A DisneyChannel animated TV series. The [[ExpositoryThemeTune opening sequence explains that siblings Todd and Riley lived in an orphanage, with no explanation of what happened to their parents]]. Stumbling across a [[AcmeProducts 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 K (along with her sarcastic talking car) and a none-too-bright professional daredevil named Dick Daring.

Whenever Todd and Riley want to replace someone, they push a special button on their Fleemco phones, connecting them with Conrad Fleem. Fleemco immediately replaces the person with someone more 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. (Although as the series progressed they managed to get into trouble with Fleemco replacements barely figuring into the episode.)

No relation to a [[Film/TheReplacements football movie]] starring KeanuReeves. Or the [[Music/TheReplacements Minnesotan punk band]].
----
!!''TheReplacements'' provides examples of:
* AbortedArc: [[spoiler:Sierra spends the rest of season 1 and most of 2 trying to break Riley and Johnny up. Yet after Johnny broke up with Riley, Sierra seems to have lost interest in him.]]
* AcmeProducts: It seems everything in the world is made or run by Fleemco.
* ActionMom: Agent K.
* AllGirlsLikePonies: Riley.
* TheAllegedSteed: Prince Cinnamon Boots, the pet mule of the Daring family.
* AnAesop: Most every episode. Sometimes subverted.
* AlphaBitch: Sierra [=McCool=].
* AnimatedSeries
* ArtEvolution: Season 2. Notice the noses on the Todd and Riley look different and that the body proportions looks (especially on the female characters) more slimming.
** Also note that the characters went from having FourFingeredHands in the early seasons to having ''normal'' five fingered ones in later seasons.
* AutomatedAutomobiles: C.A.R.
* AwesomeMcCoolname: Dick Daring, Ace Palmero, Travis Bodie, and in what might be the straightest possible example of this trope, Sierra [=McCool=].
* AndZoidberg: Shelton, ''twice'' in one episode:
--> '''Agent K:''' Todd, it's your friends. And Shelton.
--> '''Riley:''' This time it was Shelton, next time it might be someone we actually care about!
* BeautifulAllAlong: Variation: Until season two, nobody had any idea what Tasumi really looked like.
** Lampshaded with Shelton in season one.
* BecauseISaidSo
* BigManOnCampus: Johnny Hitswell.
* BlackBestFriend: Abbey.
* BookDumb: Todd Daring.
* BrainlessBeauty: Tasumi and Riley both realize that the boys in school will do anything for them as long as they act stupid and helpless.
* BumblingDad: Dick Daring.
* ButtMonkey: Shelton Klutzberry.
* CelebrityStar: Celebrity Star, played by MileyCyrus.
* CoolCar: C.A.R.
* CouchGag: The Fleemco public service announcements.
* CreditCardPlot

* {{Engrish}}: Tasumi speaks like that, since she's a Japanese Japanese.

** TheLancer - Todd
** TheSmartGuy - Jacobo (Hispanic)
** TheBigGuy - Tasumi (Asian)

** TagalongKid - Shelton (Jewish, & he would be the Smart Guy if only he appeared more)
*** Actually, the episode "Crushing Riley" specifically states that Shelton isn't really that smart.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Many examples. One of the more obvious examples was in the episode where Fleemco turned out to be developing an anatomically-correct robotic duplicate of underage Riley. Part of her assembly was shown, with scientists gawking at the double's naked leg in a scene which strongly implies that the rest of the robot was also naked.
** Then there's the episode where Abby's sister basically treated Todd like a gigolo, showering him with gifts in return for dating her
* GenreSavvy: Garth the janitor is downright obnoxious about this in one episode. He refuses to help Riley because "every time i slightly inconvenience you or your funny-looking brother, some guys in jumpsuits show up and send me somewhere nice for a few weeks."

* LineOfSightName: Todd takes evil robot to school to threaten the teachers into accepting anything he says as correct, says the first president of the UnitedStates is "George Stapler"
** But then even more impressively, since its named for said president, all of the school's signs were immediately changed to say "George Stapler Middle School", and [[ContinuityNod the name remained for the rest of the series]]
* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler:Conrad is Todd and Riley's uncle.]]
* ManipulativeBastard: Todd, in a mild form.
** It's most evident with Sierra.
* NerdGlasses: Sheldon.
* NervousWreck: In "The Truth Hurts", the head of the school newspaper who is replaced is a Nervous Wreck who is constantly jittery and gets extremely nervous about the idea of anything being published in the school newspaper that would make things like fruit on the bottom yogurt as opposed to being like plain yogurt, as he likes it.
