Right now you can watch The Replacements in Australia on Disney Plus, and in the US on Disney Plus — and it is funnier than its reputation suggests. 2 seasons means there is plenty to get through without ever feeling padded. 61 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Grey DeLisle's performance alone is worth the time investment. Start it on Disney Plus whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, The Replacements is worth clearing space for. Sharp writing and a well-matched ensemble are what separate The Replacements from the crowd. Two orphans, Riley and little brother Todd, answer an ad for Fleemco Replacement People and order new parents, a spy mother and daredevil father. As Riley and Todd go on adventures (or misadventures as it were), they team up with Conrad Fleem to replace any adult in their lives that they don't like, but they don't get to choose the replacements and sometimes their good intentions don't work out as they planned. Between them, Grey DeLisle and Nancy Cartwright carry the comedy without ever forcing it. It ran for 2 seasons (2006–2009), and the writing holds up across every one of them. What keeps The Replacements from feeling disposable is a cast that clearly understands the material better than the format usually demands. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Comedy fans looking for a reliably funny watch will find it in The Replacements. The tonal similarities to I Am Groot are real, though The Replacements carves out its own identity quickly. A contained run means every episode is doing real work. Grey DeLisle's comic timing carries it through its weaker moments. The kind of comedy you recommend to someone who claims they do not watch much.

The Replacements wrapped up in 2009, created by Dan Santat — and 2 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
