It aired in the United States of America on the television network Nickelodeon. The show's title characters are a pair of alien brothers named Guapo and Fraz, both of whom work as couriers, who travel throughout their universe to deliver packages to a different planet in each episode of the series. It ran from January 17, 1999 until January 8, 2000. SummaryThe Brothers Flub takes place in outer space. The show's title refers to its two central characters: a pair of blue-furred alien brothers named Guapo and Fraz Flub. Guapo is shorter and fatter than his brother, and is a lighter shade of blue. Both wear bodysuits, shoes and caps. In the series, they work for a company called RetroGrade Interdimensional Couriers, of which a green-colored female alien named Tarara Boomdeyay is the boss.[1][5][6] Other characters at their job include a female alien named Valerina and an older orange, male alien named Squish. The brothers, who are couriers, travel through their universe in their spacecraft (called the Hoog) to deliver packages to various planets.[6][10] Each episode features a different planet with a different characteristic, such as "The Land of Oversized Games", which comprises life-sized game pieces such as a pinball machine,[7] or "Hip City", a planet inhabited by beatnik aliens.[8] HistoryCindy Barth of the Orlando Business Journal said that "although still an untested property, optimism is high for the Brothers Flub" because of Sunbow's record and staff members.[9] ProductionThe creators marketed the series for children ages six through eleven.[10] Sunbow contracted with Animatics, an Orlando, Florida-based company, allowing for Animatics to create the storyline and the storyboard for the series.[9] Laura Sullivan, the senior director of marketing of Sony Wonder, said in a 1999 Promo article that the series attracted equal numbers of male and female children and that it was "very Nickelodeon-looking."[10] Episodes

MerchandisingThe Brothers Flub was used in several promotional deals for various brands. Fast food chain KFC announced that it would use the characters in a kids' meal, while Carl's Jr. and Hardee's branded tray liners and bags with The Brothers Flub images.[10] GNC planned to include The Brothers Flub yo-yos in its children's vitamins, while department store chain Macy's used the characters in their back-to-school advertising flyers.[11] Skechers started a sweepstakes that distributed Skechers and The Brothers Flub-branded items. VHS releaseSony Wonder released two videocassettes of the show in 1999. These were entitled Plan C: Panic! and Doom Wears Funny Tights!.[12][13] Each one featured four episodes of the series. Both tapes are now out of print and hard to find. ReceptionThe Brothers Flub was panned by critics. Joanne Weintraub of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel described the show as "a rare clinker with all the noisy hyperactivity of Aaahh!!! Real Monsters and little of the cockeyed charm."[14] The Hollywood Reporter called it "a somewhat vacuous effort that lacks the charm and substance of much of Nick's other programming" but added "now and again [the creators] hit on some clever high jinks."[15] Writing for the Lakeland Ledger, Evan Levine thought that the show had a promising premise, but thought that its humor was mean-spirited.[16]{{Clear}}References1. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.variety.com/article/VR1116679691.html?categoryid=14&cs=1 |title=Nick buys "Brothers Flub" |accessdate=2008-01-07 |last=Richmond |first=Ray |date=1997-12-09 |work=Variety}} 2. ^1 As listed in closing credits 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://promomagazine.com/entertainmentmarketing/marketing_new_kids_shelf/ |title=New kids on the shelf: Brothers Flub attracts "transdimensional" promo slate. |accessdate=2008-01-07 |date=1999-09-01 |work=Promo Magazine |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20061118131757/http://promomagazine.com/entertainmentmarketing/marketing_new_kids_shelf/ |archivedate=2006-11-18 |df= }} 4. ^{{cite book|last=Erickson|first=Hal|title=Television cartoon shows: an illustrated encyclopedia, 1949 through 2003|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=q4UjAQAAIAAJ&q=%22Similar+calamities+occurred+on+such+far-flung+outposts+as%22&dq=%22Similar+calamities+occurred+on+such+far-flung+outposts+as%22&hl=en&ei=JOlGTYK1EYSBlAeXs9XrDw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CCcQ6AEwAA|edition=2|volume=1|year=2005|publisher=McFarland & Co.|isbn=0-7864-2099-5|page=159}} 5. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.retroland.com/pages/retropedia/tv/item/501/ |title=Brothers Flub |accessdate=2008-01-07 |work=Retroland |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090109190914/http://www.retroland.com/pages/retropedia/tv/item/501/ |archivedate=2009-01-09 |df= }} 6. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.bizjournals.com/orlando/stories/1998/06/01/story8.html |title=Nickelodeon's Brothers Flub gets local touch |accessdate=2008-01-07 |last=Barth |first=Cindy |date=1998-05-29 |work=Orlando Business Journal}} 7. ^{{cite episode |title=Scared Stiff |series=The Brothers Flub |network=Nickelodeon}} 8. ^{{cite episode |title=Bard Brain |series=The Brothers Flub |network=Nickelodeon}} 9. ^1 Barth, Cindy.
