kids view of the imperfect world of adults, 4 August 2007
Author: Scott_E_Mantooth from United States
*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
To start let me say this show is supposed to be stupid and silly. If you want something intelligent and intellectually stimulating perhaps you should be watching something other than cartoons aimed at a younger audience. These are for kids, and for the parents who watch them with there kids. That being said, the show is actually quite funny. The idea that for a small amount of money ($1.98 as stated in the intro) you could alter your surroundings or those who control it for the better...usually. The results are not always what Todd and Riley expect and sometimes the situation is made even more complicated if not much worse by the replacement "Adult" that is sent. Each episode is fairly short but a cartoony object lessons are played out in each one.

Not a master piece, but not absolutely horrible, 6 February 2008
Author: wdmrose from United States
When I first saw this show, my reaction was 'WTF?' The animation style wasn't attractive to me in the least and the whole idea of replacing adults all the time was the worst ideas for a plot. However, after it's been on for, what, a year now?, it's grown on me.
The animation, despite it's style being different from normal Disney, is smooth. I actually like the backgrounds, but that's more my artistic style talking, because I think it's cool you can see paint strokes. But, anyway, the jokes on this show are, for the most part, not the best. Though there will be something that comes up once in awhile that are truly funny- though I also have a weird sense of humor. The characters, actually, are decent. Yes, they're rather flat characters, but each have distinct personalities, at least. The plots each episode are rather weak, though recently they've gotten a little bit better. One thing I really like about this show are continuities. For example, early episodes call the school George Washington Middle School. Then, after an episode when Todd insists the first presidents last name was Stapler, the school has been called George Stapler Middle School.
I certainly don't watch it religiously, or even when it just happens to be on. But I don't cringe watching it like some others, especially since it's improved just a little.
Original rating- 4/10 New rating- 5/10

*Gosh awful. I'm not sure if you took the Lord's name in vain or not, but I feel the need to correct you. And I do agree with the lesson from the show, calling someone to make your problems go away. but it's for the fun of it! and some of the material is funny. but the moral of the show, in my opinion, is that you should be grateful for what you have. okay, so I've got 4 and a half more lines to fill and so I am just going to type randomness.
Every time I think I'm closer to the heart Of what it means to know just who I am I think I've finally found a better place to start But no one ever seems to understand
I need to try to get to where you are Could it be, your not that far
You're the voice I hear inside my head, the reason that I'm singing I need to find you I gotta find you You're the missing piece I need, the song inside of me I need to find you I gotta find you
Oh yeah Yeah yeah
You're the remedy I'm searching hard to find To fix the puzzle that I see inside Painting all my dreams the color of your smile When I find you I'll be alright I need to try to get to where you are Could it be, your not that far
You're the voice I hear inside my head, the reason that I'm singing I need to find you I gotta find you You're the missing piece I need, the song inside of me I need to find you I gotta find you
Been feeling lost, can't find the words to say Spending all my time stuck in yesterday Where you are is where I want to be Oh next to you... and you next to me Oh I need to find you... yeah
You're the voice I hear inside my head, the reason that I'm singing I need to find you I gotta find you (yeah) You're the missing piece I need, the song inside of me I need to find you I gotta find you
You're the voice I hear inside my head, the reason that I'm singing I need to find you (I need to find you) I gotta find you (I gotta find you) You're the missing piece I need, the song inside of me I need to find you I gotta find you
Yeah, yeah... I gotta find you
Not that bad, not that good. But it's cute., 13 April 2008

Okay, I haven't been too impressed with some of the recent cartoons Disney has churned out, but this is one of the better things I've seen. The animation is so-so, for a while I thought that everyone had a sunburnt nose. The characters are like most children's characters. Not too much depth, but they have distinct personalities. I haven't seen too many episodes, but it isn't utterly annoying, like most of what's on Disney Channel. The episodes I have seen, something usually goes wrong with a replacement. In "Kumquat Day" Riley replaces the highstrung mailman with a sloth in order to recover an embarrassing card and she still has to go to great lengths to retreve it. It reminds me a bit of Nick's "The Fairly OddParents." I get a bit confused by Riley's mannerisms and her age, they don't seem to match up. But it's cute.
Not every change is good, 11 February 2008

Sure it isn't the best cartoon in the world. I did get used to the animation of Disney feature length cartoons. But it isn't what I'm concerned about when it comes to cartoons. This just happens to be its style. Do you remember how bad your jokes were when you were in elementary school? Some of what is done is corny, but this was made for kids, not like the ones I grew up watching - the ones that were shown at the cinema then on TV. I watch this with my son. This is pretty good if we use what we learn from it. So the kids think they can improve on every situation by getting the best adult/replacement they think they need. Yet in most instances another replacement, the original person, or one or both of the parents is needed to help straighten out the mess. A lesson is learned by the kid(s); sometimes, everyone learns a lesson. Moral: sometimes the best person for the job may not be the best for the job or for you.

BAD!!! - Great Stars, Shame about the Cartoon, 20 January 2008
Author: RayrayUK from United Kingdom
What can I say, this cartoon in on early in the morning and sends me straight back to sleep.
I'm in my late teens now yet I still love cartoons! Being a cartoon on in the weekend morning I lye in bed trying to give this series a chance, yet as I stated before, I fall asleep (often resulting in me missing something good on afterwards).
What you need to know... Two orphans (little is known of their past) somehow wind up connected to these sort of surrogate parents (Stunt man and Secret agent) who could make great characters, yet fail to down to the entire cartoons lackadaisical; structure, enthusiasm, character personality, storyline, background art and entertainment value.
This series could do with many improvements, yet on the plus side, their are many great voice actors.

this show stinks, 18 June 2007
Author: (kellyhof_422) from Northern Mariana Islands
*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
i hate this show! this show is one of my tie breakers in my "Most Hated Show List." One of the shows is "Yakity Yak" which showed on Nick for so short and "Mucha Lucha." O my gosh those shows were horrible!they make fairly odd parents look good. If they made a movie it would be a waste of money. Currently i sprained my ankle and compared to watching the replacements it was less painful. To me, they should cancel this show, but for now, all parents, block this show! Disney why did you disappoint us so? You know, to all the people i know who watched this show you'd better replace this show. After all this is the name of the show. I don't care if i don't make sense just don't watch it.

God Awful, 25 October 2007
Author: ANightToRemember from United States
It truly is one of the worst cartoons Disney has put out in years. I could be okay, but Disney needs to work on these animated shows.
I mean, not only is it unfunny, it's so dumb, every time I watch this show I get very mad, because it is so bad. I mean, who wants to watch a show that is unfunny and unneeded.
The show is about Todd and Riley Daring, who have the ability to call a replacement hot line and change out any adult in their world. What is this supposed to give to kids? With the push of a button you can avoid your problems? I don't think so.
Coming from a kid, I have to say, it is really bad.
