Plot
Todd and Riley were oh so sad. Then they came across a Fleemco ad. They sent away a $1.98, got a super spy mom and a daredevil dude of a dad. Now anytime they come across adults who are sly and deny them to fry them to make things bad they call in the replacements. And anytime they want to make a change, modify and rearrange, so it might get kind of strange. They make them better, nicer, stronger, faster, smarter, cooler, maybe even lame. They call in the replacements.

Main Characters
- Todd Daring - He is the younger, trouble-making and conceited of the Daring siblings. He usually uses the Fleemco phone to replace people for small things, such as not letting him have his way. He is best friends with Hacobo. Todd is selfish and only thinks of himself. Todd has a talent for singing and thanks to Riley K and Dick forced him to join the school choir. Todd enjoys baseball and karate. Todd loves the Monkey Cop movie series. He is also know to love the Gamecone video game console. He hates school, learning, and reading. Tood also hates the library. His catch phrases are "Don't judge me." and "Sweet." At one point Todd had a mullet and as a baby he had a Princess Cuddle Bug suit.
- Riley Daring - She is the older, more responsible, and more trustworthy sibling. She enjoys school. She mostly uses the Fleemco phone to replace someone who is mean or unfair. She is a girly girl and enjoys playing baseball, playing the violin, horses, Hornet Hive Scouts, candy, and pretty much any form of sugar. At one point she was part of the Journalism staff at school. She has a crush on Johnny Hitswell. She has an imaginary unicorn friend named Rainbow Jumper. She also loves unicorns. She gets a B average in school. She prefers playing country fiddle/country rock on the violin. She's a fan of Susie May and Dustin Dreamlake. Riley loves reading and the library. Riley had braces when she was younger. Riley also has a mession: Get Todd to do the right thing and be selfless.
- Dick Daring - He is the siblings' world-famous daredevil father. He is a semi-former stunt artist, and is constantly working on new tricks. He resembles Evel Knievel. He is also rather immature, and is seen having a teddy bear known as "Evil Bearnievel". He thinks that C.A.R. is his best friend, when in reality C.A.R. hates Dick. Dick bought Riley a mule named Prince Cinnamon Boots instead of a horse like she wanted. Like Todd Dick isn't smart at all.
- Agent K Mildred Daring - She resembles Emma Peel. She is the siblings' mother who is of British decent and is a superspy. From an outside view it may seem she doesn't care for her kids or husband, but in fact she loves them devotedly, even though she may express it through a recording or videotape. If something is done unfairly, she fixes it very quickly. She is seen to be a terrible cook. Her career as a spy has also made her highly suspicious of anything that is the least bit out-of-place, to the point of paranoia. In the episode Abra K Dabra!, it is revealed that she has stage fright and that her middle name is Mildred. She plays classical violin. K once took karate lessons from the evil Master Pho to bust his secret evil bank robbing karate gang.
- C.A.R.T.E.R. - C.A.R.T.E.R. AKA C.A.R. is the high-tech family car. He can do just about anything, but is never willing to do anything for the family, especially not for Dick. He often calls Dick a twit, and does not wish to let Dick drive him, presumably under the assumption that Dick's daredevil habits would cause him to wreck C.A.R.T.E.R. He prefers to use a maneuver called "The Oslo Option" to scare Dick, which consists of C.A.R.T.E.R. pulling out a large spinning buzzsaw blade from his hood. The family usually refers to him as simply C.A.R. Most likely a parody of K.I.T.T from Knight Rider. He also bears a strong resemblance to the Mach 5 from Speed Racer.
- Conrad Fleem - Conrad is the mysterious owner of the Fleemco company. He processes Todd and Riley's requests whenever they call him. He has a very long moustache. In the show his face is never shown.
- Tasumi - She is Riley's best friend, who is of Japanese descent. She wears a metal suit which resembles Robocop. She claims her family is part of a crime-fighting team. (parody of Power Rangers/Super Sentai). She also has a list of people she hates. Riley is either on or off it.
- Abbey - She is Riley's other best friend. Even though she hates the popular girls such as Sierra, she is seen wanting to be a part of them so bad, and has a habit of telling Sierra she is cool, even though she doesn't mean to. It also seams that her parents are rich. She sometimes can be hypocritical,
- Shelton Klutzberry - Shelton is a nerd at school. He is afraid of girls, and once had a relationship with Celebrity Starr. He becomes very muscular when he takes his glasses off, but this is not to his advantage because he can't use contacts, and has to have glasses. His voice and mannerisims are greatly similar to famous comedian Jerry Lewis.
- Buzz Winters - Buzz is a wannabe bully and is Todd's arch nemesis. He usally makes corny jokes then laughs then saying " Good one Buzz!". Deep down Buzz is jealous of Todd and Riley because their dad is cooler than his dad. Buzz used to have the coolest dad in the neighborhood until Todd and Riley came along. Like Todd, Buzz hates school, and he has a habit of cheating.
- Donny Rottweiler - Donny is a professional bully who is much taller than Todd, but still attends his school. He is Buzz's mentor and Todd's other nemesis, he is feared because of his giant size.
- Hacobo - Todd's best friend who is of Mexican descent (Though his shirt has the colors of the flag of Spain) . He has a weird mouth. Hacobo loves mystery books and has a secret talent for singing.
- Johnny Hitswell - He is the subject of Riley's affection. Even though every girl in the school is all over him, he tends to pay no attention to them most of the time, except for his annual Kumquat Day card readings. He enjoys basketball and baseball, and plays on the same baseball team as Todd and Riley. It is assumed he likes her, because he asked her out on a date and then kissed her.
- Sierra McCool - She is the popular girl at school, and is Riley's arch nemesis. She is constantly competing with Riley for the affections of Johnny Hitswell. She has her own posse and a huge, conceited ego. She is seen to have another side in which, she is infatuated with a Star Trek parody mentioned, which Todd also likes. This forges a bond between the two, which doesn't last long when she becomes a cheerleader again.
- Principal Cutler - He is the principal of George Stapler Middle School. Since he is from Alaska, he allows school on major snow days until Todd and Riley changed it one time. He is also very cheap and cares about money over the students, the school, and the faculty.
Minor Characters

He was also married three times, and has poor advice for maintaining a relationship. He was twice replaced by Riley. First when Riley felt that his setting up of Dick's stunts were unprofessional and dangerous, and second when Riley tried to get Dick a better love coach, and almost ended up costing Dick his stunt secrets. His name is a play on the phrase "fill my grave", referring to his shoddy assembly of Dick's stunts.

Notes
- After "Insecurity Guard" The school was renamed George Stapler Middle School. All the following episodes use this name too. Including "Todd Strikes Out", and "CinderRiley". The reason for this is when Todd incorrectly identified the first president of the United States as "George Stapler" instead of "George Washington" (the original name of the school) Todd's guardian robot intimidated the teacher into declaring Todd's answer correct - and the sign on the school was thereupon changed.
- The Carson Palmer on the show is the voice of the real Carson Palmer.
