Disney Channel’s latest original animated series, The Replacements, has become the network’s highest rated animated show among kids 6-11. In addition, the episode ‘Halloween Spirits’ aired on Saturday, Oct. 4, and was the week’s most watched broadcast and cable offering in the demographic, pulling in approximately 1.39 million viewers.
In The Replacements, orphans Riley and Todd come across a comic book ad for the Fleemco Co., which promises a new set of parents for $1.98. Their quirky new family consists of a British international spy mom named Agent K, a daredevil dad named Dick Daring and C.A.R.T.E.R., a cynical talking spy car who used to be Agent K’s partner. Riley and Todd soon realize that they can replace any adult in their life simply by making a call to Fleemco owner Conrad Fleem.
The series is created by children’s author and illustrator Dan Santat (The Guild of Geniuses) and is exec-produced by Jack Thomas (The Fairly OddParents) and directed by Heather Martinez (SpongeBob SquarePants). It premiered on Sept. 8 and was Disney Channel’s most-watched animated series premiere on record with kids 6-11 (2.06 million) and tweens 9-14 (1.53 million), according Neilson data.
