The only episode I can honestly say I don't care for is Replaced. I'm used to Benson being... well, Benson... but in that episode, he really treated Mordecai and Rigby like crap. In practically every episode of the show, Mordecai and Rigby get into some kind of trouble, and even though Benson always threatens to fire them, he never has. However, in Replaced, the dynamic duo was simply late for work, and that was what caused Benson to snap his crank. They hadn't even caused any sort of chaos, and yet all of sudden their boss was mad enough to want to replace them.'' Really?! ''To say I was surprised was an understatement when I first saw the episode. I had expected Mordecai and Rigby to do something so drastic that there would be nothing left of the park, but instead, all they did was show up late for work. (Albeit twelve hours late.)

Also, the characters Benson wanted to hire, Chad and Jeremy, seemed kind of stuck up, and it was evident when they said that they never wanted to work at the park in the first place by the end of the episode. Although they seemed to actually be trying to get their work done, they did it in a way that made their very appearance boring and distasteful, and all I could think throughout the whole episode was: "You better hire Mordecai and Rigby again!"

On a positive note, I did enjoy the epic pizza party Mordecai and Rigby threw at the end of the episode. (If I remember correctly, I think Muscle Man stabs somebody with a pieca of pizza.) I also laughed like heck at the end of episode when Mordecai and Rigby basically threw Benson's attempt to get rid of them back in his face. (Benson should know by now that you can't get rid of the dynamic duo.)

I guess I just wish that if anything, Benson would have "fired" them over something more drastic than being late for work. (In the episode My Mom, they showed up late with the lemon tree, and Benson didn't resort to firing them,) It just seems... unlikely for Benson to want to get rid of them over something stupid like that. Again, I don't hate the episode, I just expected more out of it.
