The Problem Solverz

The Problem Solverz is an American animated television series created by Ben Jones, a member of the art collective Paper Rad, for Cartoon Network. The series centers on the titular Problem Solverz trio of Alfe, Roba and Horace, as they solve and sometimes create the various problems that plague their town.
==History==
Series creator, Ben Jones, originally created the characters in The Problem Solverz when he was in primary school. Later on in life, he would join an art collective known as Paper Rad, which specialized in art with bright saturated neon colors. Ben would later create several shorts based on his concepts and released them in 2006 and 2008. Ben would later pitch his concept to Adult Swim, only for it to be rejected for being "too cute", and the show was retooled as a Cartoon Network series. In March 30, 2013, The unaired season two episodes were released on Netflix, and were later removed two years later.
==Characters==
*Alfe (voiced by Ben Jones) is a large, fluffy, half man, half dog, half anteater and a creature who was found and raised by a young Horace (in the beginning of Neon Knome). He loves to devour large quantities of pizza and acts impulsively during missions. In one episode, he claimed he lived in a cage as a child. Like a cat, he coughs up furballs whenever he chews his fur. People mistake his name as "Alfie".
*Roba (voiced by Ben Jones) – is the smartest member of them, being a half robot and a half human cyborg, who is incredibly insecure and anxious about everything. He is Horace's twin brother. People even mistake his name as "Rabbo".
*Horace (voiced by Kyle Kaplan) – is a calm, collected member and the leader of the team, usually using common sense with his actions and taking care after Alfe, his companion. He is Roba's twin brother. He is chivalrous to women, even falling in love with a few he's met on cases.
*Tux Dog (voiced by John DiMaggio) – is an extremely wealthy dog who helps the Problem Solverz in some of their cases, but is just as often then the source of their problems. He also insults Roba for his personality flaws and appearance.
*K-999 (voiced by Jaleel White) - is a robotic dog that can spray smoke out of his legs. He likes playing pranks with Alfe, much to Roba and Horace's annoyance.

==Trivia==
*The Problem Solverz is currently the second worst-rated Cartoon Network show on IMDB.com, with a score of around 2.0/10. This is only beaten by The High Fructose Adventures of Annoying Orange with a 1.8.
**Though, there is a cult-following for the show that finds this hatred unjustified and solely based on its experimental art style.
*Alfe made a cameo in the OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes episode "Crossover Nexus", as one of the CN heroes that were summoned and defeated by Strike.
*Regular Show characters Mordecai and Rigby make cameos in the episode "Hamburger Cavez".
*After the series was removed from Netflix, several of the episodes from the shows second season became lost media, though they have now all been found. 
*Especially in Season 2, there is a recurring use of slime as ammo for weapons like guns and grenades. This is potentially a censorship work-around for showing their lethal real-world counterparts.
*It is implied in several episodes, intentional or not, that Roba was a female at some point. There's a running gag around Alfe saying he's "technically a girl" (like in "Alfe Has a Baby"), while Roba corrects that he's a man/robot.
==Home Media==
The series' first season is available to watch on iTunes and Amazon Prime (though separated into two Volumes, with Volume 2 containing the last 6 episodes of Season 1).
The series first and second seasons were made available on Netflix, but were removed in 2015.
