The Replacements always had my attention based on the concept alone, so it was pretty exciting to dive back into a show I haven't seen in such a long time. So today let's take a look at The Replacements, see what it was, what happened to it, my opinions on the show and more!
Thanks so much to my friend Nerdstalgic for dropping by: / @nerdstalgic

Thanks so much for watching! Were you a fan of The Replacements?
Thanks for reminding me of how much I loved this show growing up! All of the characters were quirky and relatable.
Yes
Loved this show lol. CARter was the best.
YES!
The Replacement is the greatest Keanu Reeves film ever made in the history of ever.
I always got the impression that Dick and K had been married before the show started and replaced whatever caregiver Todd and Riley were in the custody of. That was at least how I rationalized it when I was 11.
Pretty sure they were as they mention how Dick met K while she was on mission and fell in love some time before the show.
Yeah i thought they were a married couple that wanted kids and flemco knew they wanted kids and boom, they got kids.
Yeah, plus I kinda doubt that they would ever ask for "A mom that is a super spy and a dad that is a daredevil!"
More likely than not they just asked for a cool and loving mom and a sweet fun dad. Most times I don't remember them asking for specifics at least.
It was more the "GIve us a trainer that really want to win!" or "This teacher doesn't like teaching! Can we have a teacher that cares about his subject!" etc.
So, I am guessing the uncle just found a couple that was nice, loving, wanted to adopt and had some uniqe jobs that the kids would find cool *shrug*
Yeah, they mention being married prior to adopting the kids a few times
@@bibbobella yeah at the time the show aired stunt doubles and super spies would be a thing teens find cool i sure did when i watched the show K allways struck me as like a tottaly spies type agent and Dick was just a dumbass XD
I used to watch this show a lot when it aired. You don’t see too many cartoons for kids about adopted families, I love it!
Sameee, I'm adopted and loved the positive representation rather than the usual "kid finds out they're adopted".
@@HorrorDiva01 And a sameee to you
i love when adoption is in media, its nice to see
I remember it coming on a lot on Disney Channel. I remember there being a lot of back to back episodes.
@@Blue-bf8lv When adoption is in media AND is not portrayed negatively, since there are a lot of cases of the adoptive parents just wanting to use the kids for some evil plot
This show was my jam back in the day! The expository theme tune was as catchy as heck, and I loved how consistent it could be. For example, after Todd insists that "George Stapler" was a president, the school stays as "George Stapler" for the rest of the series!
Same 🤣👏
The theme tune seems inspired by Oingo Boingo’s “Only A Lad”
One of the most slept on cartoon themes for sure
If you like continuity, watch Bojack Horseman. It’s amazing
Which but sadly not consistent in every instance.
I liked this show; it had some interesting points of view. For example, the episode where Riley replaces a teen idol with someone more average in the hopes that people will stop caring about trends. The replacement turns out to be... herself. And everyone imitates her, which she doesn't want. In the end, though, she realizes that imitating someone else is a valid form of self-expression. I came into the episode with that point of view already (I was already like 18 when it was airing), but I was surprised it went there.
That's really cool. A lot of shows I watched did episodes about trends, and they always had the same message: "Following trends will make you unhappy, so instead you should BE YOURSELF(tm)!" I've seen that plot so many times I'm actually shocked that any typical-looking kids' show had a different take on following trends.
Remind Disney of this so they can put it in the Encanto series.
Got a name for the ep? Seems interesting to give it a watch
"I need a replacement"
Flemco: "YOU"RE the replacement"
"WHAT?!?"
I don't understand that lesson.
Sadly for me, The Replacements is one of those Disney cartoons that i only have a few memories of but i still remember how good of a show it was!!!
I don't want to waste my time watching pathetic programs similar to teen sitcoms!!!!!!
@@gabriellitewski7988 ok buddy
it lasted for a season but at least it was able to tell the full story, unlike Teen Titans
I shouldn't watched the 2010s cartoons
I often feel I should've quited watching afterwards
the ending of this show was so unbelievable! the guy Todd and Riley spoke on the phone was their real uncle the whole time! was not expecting that at all!
Holy cow I never saw the ending but that is amazing
@@gracekim25 I loved the way Jordan talked about it too near the end of his video.
I don't think they ever release the last one.
@@asteroidkatfacts1036 THey did. I watched it on disney channel a long time ago
@@gracekim25 me too 😦
A few things of note:
1. That connection you made to The Fairly Odd Parents is not surprising since the show's executive producer is Jack Thomas, who was the associate story editor for that series from seasons 2-5. Many voice actors from that show (mainly Grey DeLisle Griffin,Daran Norris, and Tara Strong) were also in this show.
2. I'm surprised you didn't mention how season 2 switched up the episode runtime. Season 1 was mostly episodes with 2 11 segments episodes with a few specials. Season 2 basically reversed this and had many episodes be 22 minutes with only a few 11 minute episodes sprinkled in.
3. Scott Peterson, the story editor for this series, would later be story editor for seasons 2-4 of Phineas And Ferb, story editor for Milo Murphy's Law, and showrunner for The Last Kids On Earth.
The show also had a sliiiight art shift in season 2, as well.
And all those shows and this show has the same formula repeating.
The second season was much better because of the longer episodes.
4. Synergy Animation did the animation for Season 2 in The Replacements who did other Disney show called: Phaines and Ferb and later Milo’s Murphy Law.
I was a big fan of the show, I belive the designs and the artstyle are just so inviting most of the time, and very unique in some characters. Also I allways thought that the parents were toghether before they became replacements but that might not be canon.
There's pieces of dialogue that heavily implied that the couple were married way before they adopted Todd and Riley.
The design is incredible
i fould rhilly kinda hot even (i was like 14 at the time of watching tho)
One thing I like to note that this show did, was that they had the classic "brain swap" trope in one episode, but they did it better than 99.9% of the other times I've seen it. K and Dick swap minds, BUT they don't fall into the cliche of Dick speak with K's voice and vice versa. Instead, the voice actors tried to imitate each other's voice! So you had Kath Soucie doing her version of Dick (including a bad impression of K) and Daran Norris doing K's accent. A very much appreciated performance.
Justice League unlimited where Flash and Luthor switched minds is that .1%

True. And the great line, "I have no idea who this is."
This series has unlocked so many hidden gems I forgot about lol. If he hasn't he should do 6teen that show was 🔥
I loved 6teen. I wanna watch that again now lol.
6teen is amazing, loved watching it as a kid and feels funny watching it now that I’m past the age of 16.
Omg yes please I love 6teen
6teen lied to me about turning 16 lmao
Oh my gosh, I forgot about 6teen!!!!! Thank you! Lol
As someone who was adopted (I'm a "love child" (thats a child friendly version of the term) and my bio dad stayed with his pregnant wife, bio mom had a bad family home and already had one kid and saw how bad of a setting it was for them). This show as kid was amazing!!! It resonated with me.
I was the general age of the main characters/sibblings and it was the first time I recalled seeing the "found family" where in a way The Replacements adopted the kids. How the parents seemed to generally want kids and treated them as their own. Having this same experience with my parents the only ones I consider as my parents, it made this show memorable for me.
"What's their relationship." That I can tell you. They covered it in one episode simi vaguely. In short they was married before meeting the kids and both of them wanted to have kids but do to reasons not said they could not. (it was simi-implied she is barran giving the spy stuff and radiation but.) And the kids wanted parents. So he went "Hey prefect everybody wins."
Can i correct your gramatical mistakes please 😢
@@unslaadkrosis9435 If you wish to you can. It is a good way for me to learn.
semi vaguely*, they were married*, due to reasons*, semi implied*, barren*, given*, perfect*.
Thank you senpai I'm so relieved ahh
@@unslaadkrosis9435 ah yes semi always throws me off. like etc.
Which episode was that?
Learning that the author is a writer of children's books makes a lot of sense. I've found the show to have a good premise, but run the risk of having plot holes and contrivances as well as the risk of overstaying its welcome. Both of which are narrative downfalls I don't really see as much in children's books. That being said, it definitely could have been a whole lot worse, and the fact that the Replacements still managed to be pretty good exceeded my expectations.
I haven't seen the final episode on tv when I was a kid, so I am very glad to hear that the story has come to a natural conclusion, and a good and heartwarming one at that.
But there was an episode called “injustice is blind”.
The Replacements, one of those shows I never gave a fair chance to when it first came out. Now I’ve given it the time it deserves and yeah, it’s a pretty good watch.
The episode " Canadian Fakin" was great and had good writing. Unlike The Loud House's " Schooled " .
This show was so underrated. There weren't that many cartoons in the late 2000s I was interested in. This was one of the few I was during that time.
I remember this show! In one episode they went to a international arcade and got “country sized” cotton candy. The kids got countries like Russia and Canada. I’ll always vividly remember the dad saying “Ah, I got the Principality of Monoco!!!”
Dick spent 145 bucks for a stuffed elephant only to threw it away after Riley revealed that they had one just like that at home
@@nguyenquyetthang1326 I forgot that part, hilarious!
Oh I remember that. And when the dad got scared with the tokens.
He is not frugal
In Germany the Show "The Replacements" is named "Tauschrausch" which is translates into "Replacement Frenzy"
“You Dance Like A Cow”.
@@okjeffy6581 Lol 😂
Realizing that Dick was trying to flirt with another woman while he is married 🤦🏿♀️
One thing that I liked about the show, and I wish had been mentioned is the fact that some of the people that were replacements, stayed.
Such as the hair stylist; he continually stayed in the show and could be seen in the background interacting with others of the town. So there was some continuity that followed with the show as some people were permanent replacements.That always stuck with me about this cartoon.
Wait really?
Wow!
I sometimes wonder if Fairly Odd Parents kept certain wishes in effect what would happen.
Poof is one of the only instances of keeping a wish permanently.
This entire channel is a banger, been watching since the Patrick Show vid.
Hey thanks so much for the support and kind words! You’re channel is incredible!
Alpha Jay Show watches Jordan Fringe?? Now that's cool. A crossover would be over-the-top cool tho haha
Animation discussion multiverse
I always thought this show was just a result of me misremembering multiple different cartoons as one, but I guess it actually exists!
I've been trying to remember this show for the past seven years but the only thing I could ever remember is how the two main characters looked like and an obscure joke about swahili and I'm so glad you've talked about it thank you
BRO SAME
Bro same. For years I remember Riley looking like Daisy from Clang Invasion. And I remember Todd having brown hair. But I’m sure nobody here remembers Clang Invasion. Nor knows what it is. I completely forgot the name too. I used to think it was called “placement zam, bsum bsum zam”. I remembered the logo, thinking it looked like the Opel logo.
God I love this series, I either vividly remember the show or I get fever dream flashbacks
I only got the flashbacks
I would get vivid flashbacks frequently. Completely forgot how the characters looked for years. I remember Riley looking like Daisy from Clang Invasion. I’m sure none of you remember that show I just mentioned.
This show has a pretty catchy theme song, kinda like a company jingle or elevator music.
I agree!
I used to find it catchy, but it got annoying to me after a while.
8:20 Hold up. I just realized something. Can we take a moment to appreciate just how much of a GENIUS Conrad is here? He set up the Replacements to help his niece and nephew while teaching them life lessons. MEANING this man had made sure to send them SPECIFIC Replacements so that events would play out the way they do each episode to teach those lessons! Talk about a mastermind here!!
I only ever saw this show once or twice on TV back in the day, but as somebody who was adopted, seeing a show based on a premise I could relate to was really awesome
I watched a few episodes of the series. I liked it a lot.... And about time this was covered.
I watched about 3 or 6 episodes, and it was okay.
I’m honestly surprised this series never had a cross over episode. It would be so easy to replace someone with another character from another Disney show. Phenis and Ferb was still airing at the same time that could have been really fun
Ditto
I definitely remembered this show as a kid! I was probably around 11 when it aired, but I did wonder what happened to it. I definitely think it suffered from a very predictable, rinse-and-repeat style premise, but it was still worth a watch!
This was one of the biggest bait and switches back in the day. This was 2006, we were riding high off the premieres of American Dragon, Juniper Lee, Ben 10 and, of course, Avatar a year earlier, and Disney was like "you won't believe what this next show is" in June, 2006 and my brother, sister and I tuned in to find out what this mystery cartoon was. They hyped it up as their next big cartoon. Then... it was just a show about kids with a phone that can swap people.
Mind you, it's not a bad show, but it's not an action cartoon. It occupied the same space of hyperbolized reality as, say, Simpson's. No superheroes, no aliens, no magic, no swords, no robots. It was an eccentric personality of the week.
And that's not a bad thing, but don't advertise it and hype it up with mystery, especially with Kim Possible and Teen Titans ending.
You know all things considered this show was good, I mean I was portably a little old for it when it come out in 2006 (I was 16) I watched some of it but I think I got out of it for some reason not really sure why.
The idea of it is great, kids hasn’t replacing some of the adult figures in their life because they want to have fun or have someone who is more in their line of thinking. I remember the characters being mostly likeable as they were going through struggles and just wanted some help from adults. The episodes probably followed a similar format to the Fairy Odd Parents where the main kid characters, Todd and Riley replaced someone in their lives with a near “better” person only to find out that the old person had a valid reason for doing things the way they did, I say probably because I don’t really remember that much of flow of how the episodes went.
The comedy was good, I think one of my favorites was when the traditional looking geeky character Shelton is revealed to be attractive if his glasses are removed, then Todd tries on his sister to see if it’s the same with her but NOPE she’s just a geek.
I also really liked (spoilers) the revel Conrad, the men who facilitates the replacements, is in fact Todd’s and Riley’s uncle, which just a nice idea and explains why he helped them so much
So yeah, while I didn’t watch it all the way from the first to the last episode or can say that I think of this show often I still think that its good.
Damn when the show aired i was 3y/o this was one of my fav shows , i always loved different everyone was snd how it showed tons of different perspectives where no one was 100% wrong or right
Love the art style in this one. Line work, shapes, colors, it’s all so pleasant to look at!
Oh my god, hearing those Disney intermission ads for this show brought me back. I LOVE how you include them with the shows you cover! Amazing job as always!
It aired on Family in Canada
To me that ending of the Replacements puts the rest of the series in a high plane since now you as audience member how the knowledge of why that technology is not available to just everybody. Also could you do a Wait...Remember episode on the kid superhero show from Disney in which kid thought he was an alien and he and his friends fight crime for a State Governor. Found the name thank god for Google, its called Teamo Supremo from 2002-04.
The Replacements was teased leading up to that major crossover episode Disney Channel did "That's So Suite Life of Hannah Montana" which had kid-me thinking they were taking that one-off special into a whole tv show. Like a series of random Disney Channel characters showing up on other shows or teachers would be swapped (replaced). So I was surprised (and a little disappointed) to find out it was a new IP.
I'll never forget there was a Replacements game on the Disney games website where Todd was flying a jetpack and you had to use the boost to keep him from hitting objects as he moved across the screen. I played it everyday after school and one day I actually got onto the top ten on the leaderboard. It only lasted a couple days but that will forever be a highlight in my life.
This theme song gets stuck in my head all the time
That use of ad in-between breaks (5:10-5:19) was genius. You earned yourself a subscriber
I freaking loved this show. I felt bad as a kid yelling about how I wish this show was real so I could replace my family tho 🤦♀️😩
Edit: the only vague memory of this show was the episode where Riley has an epic violin battle and wins.
The only vague memory of this show that I had was that Todd and the black kid were crossdressing into girls.
I remember the carnival episode, Riley’s first dance, the fiddle concert, the episode when Riley and Tasumi were fighting, and the episode when they went to the pool
I like to credit this show with introducing me to the line "Don't Judge Me." It's come in handy a few times.
Yeah!
I really liked this show as a kid, or well, the first season. I remember as the show went along it felt like the Replacement part of it didn't really matter for the plot and I didn't like it as much.
I never saw the ending, and I probably would have been confused about the disguise thing because I thought they had normal calls, no video calls, so no need for that
I always appreciated that the adults being replaced were immediately shown to be offered actual great reasons to want to go away and leave room for the replacement (job promotion, opportunity to pursue a dream career, housing upgrade, stuff actual adults would be perfectly willing to drop everything for). The only exception was the Halloween episode where the boring neighbors who give out pennies to trick-or-treaters were revealed near the end to be unwilling to take the offer, and there was a murder fake out before it turned out the neighbors agreed to do a haunted house episode instead and were there dressed up the whole time because they aren't boring, the neighborhood kids just never asked them about anything.
I always had this lingering thought that their replacement parents didn't really love their family and was just playing a part. Like I get anxious each episode if they would drop the act and say how they really feel.
Nah, it was alluded/mentioned (?) in an episode that they've been married wayyy before the kids.
You are singlehandedly reviving my entire childhood and bringing back so many memories, might sound weird but it low key makes me emotional
I loved this show as a kid, was always on as soon as I got home from school! I remember thinking the characters looked so weird in season 2 because they changed their noses and my sister thought I was going crazy
Yea it bothered me so it’s hard to watch season 2 it’s surprising they didn’t mention it in this video
I thought the designs were pretty good, and it was more high quality.
I remember answering an internet survey asking which of three shows I'd like to see, and this was one of the three featured shorts. I remember feeling apathetic about it, but I voted for The Replacements because it was the most interesting of the three. And then I remember noticing it on TV in the wild a couple years later. Aside from the pilot, I've never actually seen an episode of the show.
Me when I discovered the channel: "Wish there was a video on the Replacements."
Jordan now:
4:05 okay that image of makeover riley brought back such a fucking sense memory i had to pause the video and look up the full clip. i have no idea why it left such an impact on me as a kid but, wow, it did. the whole scene is carved into my frontal lobe
The Replacements was ahead of its time. I love it.
Also is a good thing to remember with this types of series, they weren't made to sit down and watch it all, so yes, repetitive, but with enough space in between that you didn't feel how it just looped
Something that I never thought until this video. (probably because I was 9 when it came out) with every replacement they made, there was a reason to appreciate the growth from dealing with the original person. EXCEPT, they were given a family that loved unconditionally as one of their own. Just so they would never have to feel that rejected, unlovable loneliness ever again.
Although it's so niche, I am tempted to quote the episode where Riley replaces her pet donkey with a show horse surprisingly often! "This is it, boy... the big jump! I believe in you!" (in hyper specific intonation hahaha) is going to be forever burned in my memory. This show was actually one of the best parts of the ABC kids block on Saturday mornings. Thanks for this deep cut!
Yes and that theme song is perpetually stuck in my head because my IRL name is Todd and since it's so RARE to see those in media I really do remember xD
Have you ever seen the Wayside cartoon? The protagonist there is named Todd as well
@@tidepodpadthai2633 no I have not! Where is it?
@@Dabuddah It's on Nickelodeon!
This is easily one of the most underrated Disney shows. The episodes could get a bit formulaic but it had plenty of humor and many fun side characters. I never understood why it didn't get past season 2. I liked the switch from season 1 to 2 where they made episodes longer and more character driven. Agent K is also quite a hottie.
Yeah she’s so sexy and Dick is hot too
Ditto I loved the longer episodes
this show was so nice. I feel like it wrapped up in the best way possible and was just fun to watch growing up
Its amazing how much a good show can stick with you during adolescence.
when I saw this was on Disney I was so happy to be watching it again I found myself saying lines out loud before they did while I was watching, even know I haven't seen the show in well over a decade.
I couldn’t remember how the voices sounded, nor could I remember any dialogue, but just a few months ago I found myself saying “you’re becoming the bully” to some cashier for some reason. He got so pissed he kicked me out. This show is timeless.
I absolutely loved this so much and i still know the german intro by heart. It was an underrated piece of art
I was basically waiting for this video, I was well up in middle school when the show came out, but the replacements just screams my childhood.
I was always under the impression that the parents were already a couple prior to becoming the kids' parents. They had a good chemistry that implied they were actually in love.
Dan made something that I genuinely like because it's such a good yet wacky concept, and I especially loved the theme song. It tells the lore of the show in such a satisfying way and the end of the show felt so caring.
Criminally underrated show.. 2000s kids represent!!
i liked the episode where riley and todd got the family album, wheres were the picture of baby riley in loaded diaper❤
Mans whole channel lately has been "WERE YOU AWAKE IN AMERICA BETWEEN THE TIMES OF 11PM AND 4AM WATCHING DISNEY CHANNEL ON BASIC/EXTENDED CABLE" and I needed this so much in my life, goated
The main thing I remember is comparing Riley to Candace from Phineas and Ferb. Specifically in regards to how they both take a crush on a popular blond boy to weird levels of intensity and said blond boys have very different reactions to this. I'm honestly not sure which reaction is more realistic. I just thought it was funny that they both acted basically the same way and got completely different results...
Thank you for making these videos. I feel like I'm reliving my childhood. It brings me so much joy!❤️❤️❤️
Thanks so much for watching!
I remember watching this show,and i still watch the show on Disney+. And is it just me or does every role of Kath Souice is always hot and attractive (exm. Lola Bunny,Dexter's Mom,Sally Acorn)? Also his dad is the same VA as Cosmo and Timmy's Dad from FOP,so in this series he's like Timmy's Dad but a daredevil stunt.
I remember the show pretty well. Season 1 was fine but season 2 was pretty damn good. S2 stopped building it's episodes solely around the replacements and was more focused on charecter and comedy. It's a hidden gem honestly
I only remember the episode where they replaced their parents for the day. I remember them being really happy after getting them back.
I think it got wrapped up nicely. It never overstayed its welcome and I feel like if it continued, it would've probably gotten at least some hate, especially since it's presence is almost the exact same in every episode.
I'm glad you covered the replacement I have alot of great memories watching this show
Me too😭😭😭😭♥️♥️♥️♥️
I remember when I would return home from taekwondo, plop down in front of the TV, and eat a takeout meal while watching this show.
I didn't like it until a magical moment where I realized that my life was pretty awesome, that I was enjoying myself, and the show has since had a special place in my memories ever since
I remember watching this show at 2am in the morning. It was heavily underrated and very good for its time.
Glad my suggestion finally won out lmao. I know it wasn’t me but I’m glad you’re listening to the fans! Good luck and Godspeed buddy!!!
The theme song has been living in my head rent free all of these years!! This was my show back in the day! I hate that it was so underrated
I really loved this show and never got to finish it. That series ending is actually really cool that their uncle was basically helping raise them and give them a good life the best he could.
I definitely remember, I felt it was rather underrated. It was just enough slice of life, but enough fantastical elements to make it interesting.
Edit. I didn't know they gave it a proper ending. That's definitely a rare thing to see for a cartoon like that.
I still remember first watching the show on Disney Channel back in 2009-2010, I enjoyed the show a lot and loved the concept
The replacements was so good tho
I'm just going to mention first and foremost is that I've never really seen the show, so if I make a mistake please do correct me.
One thing that could have switched it up a bit was instead of having the replacement chosen for them, let them have a small list that they can choose (and re-choose) from.
It would still be formulaic, but would offer at least a little variety. Like have someone they don't like replaced and when he's going through the list have the first/second person (chekhov's gun style) be nearly identical to the original person except one small difference. So the twins pass over this person because they don't like the original, and what difference could one small thing be. Have them go through the entire line up with hilarious results till the finally decide on the similar person, only to find out that the smallest differences can change a lot.
You can still do storylines where the original is brought back. Like have the episode be about there is nothing really wrong with the original, they just don't see eye-to-eye, and have every replacement have something "wrong" about them (mainly that there is something that they don't see eye-to-eye with the twins). At the end they realize that nobody is perfect and you shouldn't replace someone just because of a disagreement.
This just allows a bit more diversity in the story structure because you aren't 100% sure who will be replaced. (cause let's face it, some people really do need to be replaced. there are enough stories of boss/teachers who are terrible and get fired)
This show was so underrated. I love this show even to this day.
I loved this show growing up so much. I just loved the concept and honestly I wish it was still around. I miss it a lot. Also I love that the car's voice actor was from NCIS
I watch the whole first season of the show when I first got Disney+, don't know why the second season of the show isn't included on there.
Maybe they think the second season wasn’t good enough
I dont remember this one at all, but when i saw the thumbnail i knew i watched it quite a bit back in the days. The style in this one is incredible
Oh my god I lived this show! It's been so long I've questioned if it even existed! Thanks for the nostalgia! Love their theme song
Holy sh*t, I saw the thumbnail and instantly remembered this show. It was one of my favorites growing up.
😂😂 you don’t know how many times I wanted them to replace my teachers in school
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I liked this show. It was on Saturday mornings on kids WB. For a non cable household, the show was a lifesaver. One thing that did suck however, is they basically only ran 10 episodes on repeat.
I didn't expect this lore to be so god damn wholesome 😢
I loved this show but it was during a weird phase in my life. So I'd watch it during it's reairing on DisneyXD completely out of order, at 3 in the morning at the foot of my mother's bed when she was asleep. Something about this show became a comfort routine for me for a few months. Now... Goodness. I still love this show, and as a grown adult can really appreciate the things I think drew me in, like replacing adults who were crappy to children, the adopted family aspect, and I liked the parents. I never saw the end of the show, so this is actually really cool to see the conclusion of.
Fun spare fact related to this, my daycare friends were obsessed with folding paper to look like Motorola Razor phones, and one day after a few 3am Replacements binges, I added a Fleem Co. button and taught the other kids how the show worked just so I could use my button 😂
I remember fighting with my sister every weekend in the mornings when we were younger over who would get to put this show on first.
Honestly loved this show, it brings back so much nostalgia and good memories of when I was younger, it will always have a place in my heart💖
Thank you again for covering another show I miss!!
My elder sister and me wacthed the series both😂😂😂😂😂
Yes. I am a casual fan of The Replacements. My personal favorite characters are Riley and Tasumi. These are my two favorite personal characters I feel in my mind and personality alike.
I always loved this show, but this is the first time I've ever heard of anyone else watching it. Fun fact, I rarely ever had the Disney Channel growing up, and would watch reruns of the show on ABC's one Saturday morning. I always wanted to see more of it, but they only ever played 6 episodes, and this show in general is hard to find. All the same, another great review as always.
I loved this show growing up! And totally forgot about it until now, but seeing all those clips and having vivid memories of watching them. Ah. Internet is amazing place sometimes, haha
i like when you youtubers do stuff like that. i love nerdstalgic and i love you jordan. that was great. i follow watch and support both of you.
This series‘ intro lives in my head rent free every once in a while
I feel they ended in a decent enough way, I just feel it ended far sooner than the story it was trying to tell was ready. So many different life aspects were explored in a short time, and I feel much more was left unsaid.
watched this when I was a kid with my dad, other than avatar the last Airbender this was the only other show he would actually sit through and enjoy, so this show has always held a special place in my heart. Also until now I didn't know about the ending, so thank you for that I cant wait to tell him later.
As much as I loved the show, I think it ended where it needed to. I have seen shows never get enough time and I have seen shows that go on for too long. Would more episodes be nice? Sure, especially since it stars an adopted pair of twins. I think that is a HUGELY under represented kids demographic. That being said, how it wrapped up and ended is what I wish most if not all shows strive for.
OMFG I WAS SEARCHING FOR THIS SHOW'S NAME FOREVER! THANKS FOR SHOWING UP IN MY RECOMMENDATIONS!
After a fantasy episode of the replacements;me, my brothers, aunts and cousins played a session of D&D one Friday night and my character was captured and was told to drink a potion ( I remember the nerd kid in the replacements in that episode we saw beforehand said that he was potion intolerant ) and I said that my character couldn't because she was potion intolerant. She/I did had to drink the potion.
I had forgotten this show but I remember I did like it. Realizing how much it’s art style influenced my art style as well!
