The Brothers Flub is a German-American animated television series created by David Burke and Laxlo Nosek for Nickelodeon. It was produced by Sunbow Entertainment in co-production with Ravensburger Film + TV and Videal. Nickelodeon billed the show as its original programming despite it not being a Nicktoon. 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 16, 1999, until January 8, 2000 and was widely panned by critics, who compared it unfavorably to actual Nicktoons.[5] Sony Pictures Television currently owns the rights to the series.
