History WesternAnimation / TheProblemSolverz

''The Problem Solverz'' is an AnimatedShow that aired from [[ShortRunner April 4, 2011 to March 30, 2013]] on Creator/CartoonNetwork. Created by artist Ben Jones, it was originally pitched to Creator/AdultSwim as ''WesternAnimation/NeonKnome'', but it was rejected and instead refitted for a younger audience.

* FreezeFrameBonus: Many characters from previous and future episodes appear in the audience at the funny face show in "Funny Facez". [[http://i53.tinypic.com/2uxzpyb.png Have a look.]]
** Likewise, in "Badcat" several of the same characters can be found in the casino.

* AnAesop: Parodied at the end of "Videogamez":
-->'''Horace''': Well, I learned a very valuable lesson today about the danger of video games. They're awesome, but if you play them too much--
-->'''Alfe''': BO-''RIIIIIIIIIIING''!
-->'''Roba''': Sorry, Horace, he's right.
** Parodied again in "Breakfast Warz".

* GutturalGrowler: Alfe speaks in a gruff voice that belies his childish personality.

* {{Catchphrase}}: Alfe likes yelling his own name a lot, usually when doing something stupid or attacking.
** "Problem...Solved!"

* WidgetSeries: Made 100% in Burbank.

* NoPronunciationGuide: Alfe's name. It's two syllables, pronounced "Al-fay", and all of the characters say it that way. In writing, however, especially to those unfamiliar with the show, the pronunciation is less clear and is often mistaken for "Alfie" or "Alf".

* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: Bombs made of robots, made of ''dinosaurs''!

The series follows the incredibly [[SurrealHumor surreal]] adventures of three friends whose job it is to [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin solve problems]]: Horace, an EveryMan with a bad buzz cut; Roba, a {{Nerd}} who dresses as a robot; and Alfe, an infantile part-dog, part-anteater, part-human who [[BigEater really likes pizza]]. Along the way, they are aided by Tux Dog, a wealthy canine who advises them on cases.

* {{Meganekko}}: Nina.

* MulticoloredHair: Katrina Rad has pink, blue, yellow, and rainbow locks of hair.

[[OvershadowedByControversy The show has been the subject of mass criticism]]...FlameWar-level criticism. Its arrival to Cartoon Network unfortunately coincided with the cancellation of ''WesternAnimation/SymBionicTitan,'' and the series was seen as a [[ToughActToFollow vastly inferior replacement]], turning it into TheScapegoat. It didn't help that many people [[MisBlamed accused the show]] of getting ''Sym-Bionic Titan'' canceled. However, the show has a collective fanbase despite the rough patches.

The show went on hiatus after its first season, and eventually suffered a quiet cancelation on March 30, 2013. However, though CN has only aired its first season on the network, the second season became exclusive to Creator/{{Netflix}} in early 2013. (Before the whole show was taken off of Netflix in 2015)
