Wiki.
The Problem Solverz is an American animated television series created by Ben Jones for Cartoon Network. It follows Alfe, Roba, and Horace; a group of detectives in their troubled town, Farboro.
The aforementioned characters were designed while Jones attended college in the 1990s; he later founded the art collective Paper Rad with Jessica and Jacob Ciocci. The characters were featured in Jones' and the collective's animations and comics before the creator pitched a pilot in 2007 to Adult Swim featuring the trio, collaborating with PFFR and Williams Street. The network's executives referred Jones to Cartoon Network, who commissioned a series featuring the same characters. The series was produced in Adobe Flash, with around fifteen animators employed at Cartoon Network Studios and the co-production of Mirari Films.
The Problem Solverz was first aired on April 4, 2011. The first season consisted of eighteen episodes, concluding on September 29, 2011. A second and final season was released exclusively on Netflix in 2013, which is unavailable after its removal in 2015. The show received extremely negative reviews from both audiences and critics.
After leaving Cartoon Network, Ben Jones would then work at Fox Television Animation (now called 20th Television Animation) to work on the Fox Saturday Night block Animation Domination High-Def, where he serves as creative director for these shows, as well as creating his own show in Stone Quackers for FXX, and would later work at Bento Box Entertainment, co-creating one of Universal Animation Studios' first adult animated shows Saturday Morning All Star Hits! on Netflix.
